Christmas Crush

Chapter 3: I need some new clothes

It's a week before the Christmas Program and I have no idea what Im going to wear. I open my laptop and I go to Shein and Meshik. They have so many cute winter outfits outfits. I don't even know where to start.

I scroll down and I find myself adding random things to the cart. I honestly have no self-control when it comes to ordering things offline. I reel it back in and focus on what 10 outfits. Since we are going to be there for a week. I have to look my best.

I find my saved gift cards for the past 4 years from all of my birthdays and I this is the perfect way to spend it. Thank goddess for my grandparents because I have $500 to spend on clothes and accessories. I found some outfits that look really good. I got 3 days express shipping so it should be here just in time to leave.

I pull out my suitcase and begin to pack what I know I want. I grab some thigh high socks and portable batteries. I slowly start adding undergarments to the suitcase; I open my underwear drawer and see my remote-controlled vibrator.

Well Heck, might as well.

I throw it into the bag and begin to fill it up piece by piece. My mother knocks on the door.

"Hey hun, I'm going to drive you to the airport and I have some first-class flight tickets saved from the trip I canceled with my job. You can use them to get there and back from your trip.

First-class tickets???

SCOOORREEE

"Thank you so much mom, I promise I will take pictures and send them to you. I'll be sure to Facetime you before I go to sleep too. Tell Grandma and Grandpa I'll see them next Christmas, since I can't go next week"

"OK, and make sure you have pocket money on you at all times, I don't want you to get stranded in the snow and not have a way of getting back"

My mom is such a worry wort, In her mind I know she's picturing me getting mawled by a bear or kidnapped by a mall Santa.

" Alright Mom, I promise i will be ok"

She gave me a hug

I hug my mom tight and she walks out of my room.

The week goes by pretty fast. When I get home from school I see a huge package underneath the Christmas tree.

"Hey, mom starting Christmas shopping already?'

"Oh no, that package has your name on it, must be something you ordered"

Oh yeah, my clothes for the Christmas program. I reach for the package and forget I have an entire air-headed jock of a brother.

"Hey Max, Carry this package upstairs for me?"

"Since when was this the Hilton and when was I employed as a bell hopper??" He looks at me in irritation.

"Since I had that video saved in my Twitter drafts'

"And right you are ma'dam, he marches over to the Christmas tree and grabs the package, and climbs the stares'

My mom looks in confusion "How did you get Max to do things so quickly???"

"Blackmail Mom"

She chuckles and goes to the kitchen to check on dinner.

I Go to my room, Max bucks at me and walks out.

I rip the package open and see such beautiful pieces lying at the bottom of the tissue paper.

I pull them out one at a time have have a mini fashion show in my room. I turn on Sex and the City playlist on my speaker and catwalk.

I finally have all of my outfits in order from day one to day 7. I pack my clothes and go jump on my bed. I open up Twitter and see a tweet threat from my high school feed.

" Chris and Stephany are now longer together"

Right when I read that Elena called my one-time

"WOAH did you see Stephany's recent tweet about you"

I rush to Stephane's " If you want that fro-headed freak then be my guest, she's a whore and everyone knows it"

Oh no she didn't...

My bedroom sat in silence for a moment.

" Rora.... don't respond, it's not worth it" Elena tried to convince me but her words of encouragement melted like a snowman.

I click reply

"Next time, @ me bitch"

*Posted*

"Damn it, Rora, you know her father is the principal of the school. The last thing you want is to be kicked out for the 2nd time.

For those who are wondering, this isn't my first Rodeo dealing with preppy loud bitches and let's just say, I talk back.

"RORAAA,MAXXXX ...DINNER'S READYYY"

"Hey, I'm about to go eat dinner, text me when you're done packing and show your outfits" I rush to the bedroom door.

"Ok, later girl"

I hung up and my brother and I collided in the hallway,

"Watch out granny" He yells and shoves me into the wall"

I run down and sit in my usual spot and my mom serves Curry and Fried Plantains. The aroma wafting through the house mixed with the sweet smell of sweet potato pie and Christmas tree.

"So I have some good news..." Mom says excitingly at the table

" You finally decided to put Rora up for adoption???"

"No Max..."

I buck at him from across the table he mocks me

"I got the promotion!!!!"

We all stand up and jump around the table, She has been wanting Vice Presedient of the company for years now and they finally gave it to her. She deserves it, she's a great mom and person. I can't imagine juggling 2 teens and a job. It seems like a lot of work.

We all settle in and she adds

" Your Christmas is looking very bright this year"

"Congratulations Mom, you're doing a great job"

We both get jumpy and finish our dinner. We wash the dishes and head back to our room.

This is the time when I take care of my skincare and my Nintendo Switch addiction.

I hop in the shower and wash my hair. This process usually takes about 2 hours for me but I learned to section my hair and go one at a time. I grab my creme of Nature shampoo and start messaging.

I wonder why Chris kept staring at me like that, did I have something on my face? Maybe he wasn't staring at me, but behind me at someone. I don't know...maybe I'm tripping.

I start to exfoliate, shave...

"What did Stephane mean by "fro-headed girl"...was their break up about me?? Did I start something??"

I step out of the shower on the heated floor tiles and start my skincare routine

"Maybe she was upset at the fact that he was looking at me...or am I a trending topic in their relationship"

I walk out of the bathroom and step on the carpeted floor. I'm so glad my mom installed heated tiles in my walk-in bathroom. My feet are always cold, I think I need more iron pills.

I change into my Christmas PJs, put on Elf on the TV, and lay on my bed.

I wonder what this Christmas program has in store for me.
