Chapter 13

"Okay, is everyone at their places?"

"On it, Miss Jenn!" Natalie answered the drama teacher.

"Carlos, are Gina and the dancers warmed up and limbered? I don't want any injuries or lawsuits before the break."

"We're good, Miss Jenn!" Carlos replied.

"Okay! I'm gonna hit record and we need to get this all in one take."

It was a spectacular routine for their Christmas video, about to be uploaded to the brand new East High drama club's Instagram page. Kourtney started off the song with her amazing vocals, the choreography was fun too. The overall atmosphere was perfect for the holidays, all fuzzy and warm on the inside. 

The best part was the dance break, Gina's dance moves were immaculate and just absolutely beautiful. It was also a wonderful announcement to declare that the school's theatre was going to be restored over the holiday break.

Once everyone was done, they were interrupted by Mr Mazzara opening the door. "School let out an hour ago. Get out of here and enjoy the vacation."

"Happy holidays, Mr Scrooge," Miss Jenn wished her colleague. With a smile, the STEM teacher left shortly after.

"New Year's Eve party at Ashlyn's! Everyone's invited!" Carlos called, cheers immediately sounded from the drama students.

"Gina and I are co-hosting!" Ashlyn exclaimed.

"You guys, wait, I don't think I was recording the song," Miss Jenn said hesitantly, as if the students were glass about to shatter if they found out that they had to record the entire video again. To be fair, she had a right to feel so.

"Miss Jenn..." Carlos complained softly.

"Time for another take then," Ten muttered.

"Go back to places?"

Round two, here they go.

"EJ, why is there a mess on the kitchen counter?"

"It's not me! Jeonghan did it," EJ cried, pointing fingers at the blonde-haired boy.

"Uh, no. I accidentally bumped into EJ who made the bowl fall so he did it," Jeonghan calmly explained while EJ glared at him.

Having friends over during Christmas was a tradition that they all loved, accompanied by delicious food, baking treats and opening presents.

"No bickering, please," Joshua said with a sigh. He turned to Vernon with pleading eyes. "A little help here, Vernon?"

"Yeah, I'm just going to eat some cookies." Vernon munched on a chocolate chip cookie he just swiped from the tray, a glass of milk to compliment it.

"Both of you, clean it up, please." Ten tossed two pieces of cloth for the counter to be wiped up. Jeonghan and EJ rolled their eyes at each other, begrudgingly obeying the orders. "Acting like children even though we're going to graduate soon," he mumbled.

Once it was cleaned up, Joshua ushered them to sit around the coffee table, next to the Christmas tree. "Come on, time for gifts!"

"Jeonghan, don't take that box with the nice wrapping paper." Ten caught the boy glance at the gift. "That's for Joshua."

"Shua shares his gifts anyway. I see no harm." Jeonghan gave a cheeky grin. Ten sighed as he passed Joshua the box, there are some things that wouldn't change.

"Thank you, Ten," Joshua said, sparing a glance at the mischievous boy beside him. "You're lucky I'm nice."

"Actually, since you're known as evil twins, I think you have to change that," EJ pointed out.
