I was getting ready for a Christmas party, my first Christmas party! A strange feeling of excitement and impatience was spreading throughout my body, which was quite unusual for me.

I wondered what I should do to calm down; however, I couldn't find any answers, even if I looked it up on the internet. By the time I realized it, time had passed, and it was almost time to go to the meeting point where I'd meet my friends.

I packed a suitcase with some clothes, as I was likely to need them. Also, a gift for the Secret Santa gift exchange.

When I finished getting ready, and put on some rather nice clothes, along with a white colored wool scarf, I grab my suitcase, and start to leave the room. However, a strange shivering sensation ran down my back, and when I turned around, I found only a large, dark, empty and cold room.

When I saw such a room that I used to see every day when I woke up and went to sleep, I sighed a little, letting out my breath from the cold in there. Somehow, it felt like a fairy tale, where the princess was trapped at the top of a tower, which has a large, cold room in it.

However, knowing where I was going, I decided to take courage and looked back into the room.

Impossible.

That strange shivering feeling wouldn't go away.

It wasn't until I left my house that that sensation finally stopped being felt along my straight back.

"Miss, would you like a ride to your destination?"

"N-No, I'll go by myself. I'm going to meet my friends..."

"In that case, let me wish you a good Christmas, and enjoy your stay with your friends."

"T-Thank you." I said to the person standing in my driveway, who I was used to seeing, and who offered to give me a ride.

I declined, and headed for the front door, which was a large iron gate about 7 meters high.

The moment I stood in front of it, it opened automatically because it recognized my face, all thanks to a rather complex facial recognition system, which I had trouble understanding, and it frustrated me while trying to understand it.

Onceit opened, I put my feet outside my house, and full of courage, nerves, andexcitement, I headed towards the meeting point where I had arranged to meet myfriends.
