An abnormal advent calender

m-31

"It's timeeee," I woke up with the first note of the most ever listened to Christmas song. Yes, it's finally the true beginning of winter and I was waiting for it for a really long time like always. But this year something is different. Normally at this period I would go to the Christmas market with friends or bake cookies and watch Christmas movies with them, but like I already said, this year it's going to be a little different because all of my friends are in relationships. Even if it's friends first and love after, it's still a quite big difference, because they will also spend time with their loved ones and that's completely understandable, but as the only single one it will be a challenge to survive this lovely Christmas mood, because Christmas is the time of the year where you see couples everywhere like an epidemic. I tried to stay positive as I stood up and walked to the kitchen to prepare myself a hot chocolate. It was early in the morning and the sun hadn't even risen up so I was the only one awake. I prepared my hot chocolate mug and sat on the sofa. I looked through the window hoping to see some snow outside, sadly the white coat I wished for wasn't there, quite understandable for the first of November. After finishing my mug I went to get ready. Yesterday I planned my outfit, because I couldn't wear too normal things for this first day of winter. After packing my stuff I left the house. Outside it was cold, and clearly my skirt was warm enough to keep the coldness away, so I walked fast to the bus station trying not to end up as an ice cube. Thankfully the bus was already there and I got in it as fast as possible and waited for it to leave. After 20 minutes on the bus, I finally arrived at school. The school was like every other school, nothing was that special about it, but I still liked it because of the memories I had made in it. I entered my classroom and sat down at a desk next to my best friend's bag. I could easily guess where my best friend was. I had begun to take my math stuff out of my bag as my best friend entered the classroom and sat down right next to me.Before I could say a word, she looked at me and sang, "It's timeeee!" I laughed because I was going to tell her the exact same thing. "Yes, I know, and I'm so happy about it. It's finally winter, I have been waiting for so long, omg," I responded."Me too, and I really hope it will snow like last year because snow is the best mood ever," she replied.Before I could respond, the math teacher entered the room and started the lesson, a very boring lesson.I was waiting for the bus to go home because I had finished school a few minutes ago. Today had been a good first day. Charlie wasn't always kissing her girlfriend, so I didn't hold the candle all day long, which was a relief. I was also happy because I liked my outfit and I understood what we had done in most of the class, so I told myself that today was quite a satisfying day and a good start for November. I sat on the bus with music in my ears, looking through the window as the sun was going down. Even though I found sunsets sad, I also liked them a lot because of the light they produce. This golden light reflecting on the green grass was, I would say, my favorite color.After I arrived home, I changed into my pajamas and walked to the kitchen to make myself a hot chocolate. This time I made more since I was going to drink it with my sister. While drinking it, I did my homework and began to study for my next exam, a French one. When I finished my homework, it was about 20:00, and I wanted to go to bed early. Therefore, I got ready for bed. As I lay in my bed, I thought about how ordinary the first day of November was. At that time, I couldn't know that this November was going to be the most unforgettable I had ever lived.
