     When it finally hit Christmas break, I couldn't be more excited. Of course, my family had no intentions of going away for the two weeks or so off, but it was at least nice to be free from school. Ethan was hanging out with Harry, Reggie, and a few other boys from the baseball team, which I thought was nice. They always got to spend time with each other, but it was usually while they were running around the field practicing.

Harry: I'm taking you on a date

You should NOT be texting me those words when you're around a bunch of guys and my brother

Harry: it's fine, they think I'm taking a shit

Oh, I'm dating such a lovely boy

Harry: I'm not actually taking a shit

I figured as much

Harry: well, I want to take you on a date, so can your friends do their cool magic power stuff and like pick you up only for you to come and hang out with me ((((;

Well, I can't do that tonight. I'm actually hanging out with Ella and Blair. Lex is going out with Alex

Harry: fair fair.... I can't tomorrow because Gemma, Emily, Noah, and Peter are coming over

How about Tuesday??

Harry: Tuesday is good

Where are we going?

Harry: it's a surprise !!

No, tell me please

Harry: I can't, plus I need to go back to my table. Talk to you sooon xx

)):

Harry: really, it will be super fun, and you'll enjoy it I swear!

Just tell me now

Harry: I can't baby but you'll have a great time I know it!

Rolling my eyes at the message displayed on the screen, I found myself putting my phone away, collecting some things for my stay at Ella's. Honestly, I hoped she was still in town on Tuesday, which I suspected she would be, but then again I wasn't exactly sure. She was supposed to leave for a state within the first week, but I couldn't recall the exact date. It wasn't long before she came to get me, Blair already in the car. We headed to Ella's, my friend explaining that Lex was supposed to join us later in the evening. Apparently, she was going on a date with Alex, which I thought was awesome, so I wasn't disappointed. Once we got to Ella's, Blair and I got out quickly, the three of us heading inside her house. I found myself sitting in front of the television, grabbing the remote before anyone else could. It was a few minutes until my friends got situated on the sofa, Ella claiming she wanted to watch a drama, while Blair wanted to watch a Rom-Com. Telling Ella I wanted to watch the same thing as Blair, she rolled her eyes but agreed, the three of us taking several long minutes to decide what movie we wanted to watch. About halfway through, though, I started getting messages from Harry again.

Harry: I just got home so we can text

I'm watching a movie

Harry: well, what movie?

Not one you'd like

It has kissing, and cooties
