"So,are those green headphones working well ?" my mama chuckled as shesaw me dancing with my new pair of earphone who were the firstChristmas gift I opened.
"Yup" I smiled, stopping my dancingsession.
"You didn't forget to thank Cara, right ?" my momsaid, talking about my aunt, who this present was from.
"No Idid not, mom" I playfully rolled my eyes.
"Good. Oh by the wayhoney, our family is staying until the 1stof january. It might seem a bit harsh, but I would like you to stayin the house until then, and not go out with your friends until 8PMlike you always do."
"What ?! But Ma-"
"I know thisseems a little bit unfair, and it's really not to punish you baby,but it's only to be nice and polite... You just have to take care ofour family, because family is everything, you know ? I really don'twant you to feel like this is a punishment or anything, so I'll makeit up to you if you want to, but I really need you to stay with usduring those holidays. Please."
I promised Trevor we would seeeachother soon, and plus Olivia is having a New Year's Eve party thatI was supposed to spend with them... Them as in all of our friends.But I don't like to disappoint my mom.
"Alright, but can I atleast attend to Olivia's party I talked to you about ? I was supposedto spend New Year's Eve with my friends..."
She sighed. "Okay,baby. I'm really sorry, but it's only for a little bit amount oftime. And, oh, if you want to, you can sometimes invite Olivia tocome over since she knows well the family...I don't want you to getbored. But don't get out and plan huge afternoons with your friendslike you usually do, that's all I'm asking for."
I faked asmile. "Alright, mama."
"Aw, thank you baby."

She hugged me and left the kitchen.

Nothing really happened until the 31st; Olivia was sometimes coming over and we were chatting a lot withChristopher, the three of us locked in my room, 'between teenagers',as the adults would say. Chris was actually a very mature guy for hisage. He was kinda reserved but it didn't prevent him to be reallycool. He was like, 16 in his head. 16 ! That's my age. That's why wewere getting pretty well along, him, me and Olivia.
One afternoon,-the 28thto be precise- as we were all lying down on my bed in a circle, Iasked to Olivia :

"DidTrevor ask you anything about me ? It's been a long time since wedidn't talk by text"

"Iwarned him that you couldn't go out until the 31st,he was kind of disappointed. But I'll tell him you said that" shecheekly answered.
"I don't get it, are you guys dating or not ?"Christopher asked.

"She wish" Olivia laughed.
"No, that's not true" Iargued.
"Suuuurrreee" she said.
"You know what let it go" I rolled my eyes.
"Aww c'mon we're joking !" Olivia laughed. "But anyways, don't worry, you will see him on the 31st. You'll be lucky, you'll see the person you want to see on New Year's Eve ; I won't..."
My eyes looked furtively to the left and I gulped. "Um...it's okay..."
Olivia sighed. "You're right, you're right. You told me some people were away from each other for way longer than us, so yeah... I'm just scared that by going back to his hometown -where his grandparents are- he's gonna meet another girl or something..."
"Stop talking bullshit" I stopped her.
"It ain't bullshit ! He still got his ex back there."
A silent interposed between the three of us, each not knowing what to say, until my mom's voice called us for dinner.
