"Okay! My turn..." Shay called out, laughing as she reached over to move her character piece. "Wait! I need to take the cookies out of the oven, continue playing... Miguel, play for me, please!" Isabella shouted out as she got up from her spot, scurrying away. Miguel shouted an, 'Okay!', Isabella smiled to herself, opening the oven, putting the oven mitten on before grabbing the hot pan full of sugar cookies.
She smiles down, checking to see if they were fully done. Isabella heard the whole group groan and shout, making her laugh to herself. She was hosting a New Year's party, since she had the house to herself, it was the whole Black Phone and Babysitter's Club cast, all in one room, all in one house, being as chaotic as they could ever be. They'd all went to the movies one time, but got kicked out for being too loud. As Isabella was alone in the kitchen, moving all the cookies to a plate, she'd gotten an idea.

show you for years.

kitchen right now. así?

to the plate, so hurry!!!
Isabella smiled, putting her phone in her pocket as she placed the hot pan down, grabbing the next one, and placing it down before reaching to grab the spatula. But before she could, arms wrap around her waist from behind, a chin being placed on her shoulder, and a kiss reaching behind her ear. "Hi, Miguel." She says in a soft voice, grabbing the spatula to move the cookies, "Hi, Isabella." He says in a soft, raspy voice, watching her movements.
"What was it that you wanted to show me?" Miguel asks, watching her finish up with putting the cookies on a plate. "Follow me!" Isabella smiles, escaping his grip before grabbing his hand and leading him up the stairs. Miguel smiled, following after to, Isabella leads him to her room, she sits him on her bed, making him sit at the edge. "Isa... what's going on?" He laughs nervously, watching her move over to her closet. "Ay, you're so impatient, Miguel." Isabella mumbled, jokingly. Making Miguel smile, Isabella reaches into her closet, grabbing the shoe box, she smiles as she grabs a hold of it, before walking over to sit next to Miguel.
She opens it, looking in, before passing it to Miguel. He grabs it, looking at her before actually looking into the box. He looks into the box, seeing a bunch of folded up papers, Polaroids, and other pictures. He smiles, "Open that one up first." Isabella points to the folded paper taped to the side of the box, "Okay." He nods, moving towards the paper and grabbing it, unfolding it slowly. He unfolds it, looking to Isabella with a confused look. "Read it. It was the first letter I had written you, ever." Isabella smiles nervously, seeing his lips twitch into a smile, starting to read it.
It takes him a minute, but he eventually reads all of those notes, all of them being notes from 5th to 10th grade, they laid together in the bed, being alone in her room. They eventually fell asleep, having the pictures and papers scattered around them. Both cuddled into each other's bodies, laying as comfortable as ever.

"Shut up, you guys are so fucking loud!" Arabella exclaimed in a whisper. "Shouldn't we wake them up before it turns into the New Year?" Brady questions, looking at the sleeping couple. "Yes... but we have to take some pictures first." Xochitl grins, grabbing the Polaroid camera, looking at the two before snapping a picture. "God, they're going to hate us... we take so much pictures of them sleeping." Tristan stressed with a light laugh. "Eh, it's alright, they'll love to show their kids these photos in like... 10 years." Luna shrugs with a smile. "You're right." Mason agrees, smiling at the two.
"Now, let's wake them up, so they can have their New Year's kiss." Sophie exclaims, "Ew! Don't say that." Tristan fake gags, "Shut up, they've made out in front of you before." Arabella rolls her eyes, smiling at Tristan. Tristan quiets down, looking over at Arabella with a soft smile, looking at her with a soft gaze. "Okay, lovebirds, come help us wake them up." Sophie nudges the two, walking over to the side of the bed. "Shut up, Soph." Arabella giggles, walking away from Tristan with rosy cheeks.
