Nicks Pov.

I sat there at my desk, grading papers and projects, before my classroom phone rang.
I rolled my office chair back and reached over to answer it.
Another teacher asked me to help hang a high decoration in the hallway for Christmas before I left for the day.

I laughed and nodded, agreeing as I hurried my grading up and finished.
I had my preschoolers make cut out Christmas trees and decorate them to take home.
Truth was there wasn't any actual Grades, it was mostly just counting that they did it. .at all.

I quickly put them all on their desk so they'd be able to take them home the next day.
Turning my classroom lights off as I locked my door and hurried down the corridor to the larger hallway in front of the cafeteria. My teacher badge swinging around.
My phone buzzed as I stopped for a moment to take it out and check it briefly.

I wonder if it's mum, I've been expecting her to call me to invite me over for Christmas. .

But, it wasn't.
My friend Michael was calling..

I raised a brow as I answered it,
"Hey Michael, what's up mate?" I said walking into a staff restroom.

"Hello Nicholas, " he said
I chuckled, he had loved calling me Nicholas around the holidays.... You could guess why.

"Tori,  would like me to invite you out to a Christmas party!" He said excitedly.
I raised a brow.
"Michael... It's not a party.." she said plainly in the background.
I chuckled..

She took the phone ,
"I got a ridiculously large gift card to this stupid fancy restaurant from my work...want to meet us there?" She said plainly, overtaking the phone.
I laughed ,
"Yea, yeah that sounds really nice , thank you . When? "

"Tonight.." she said plainly

I stared at the wall...

My mind wandering...

Charlie , her little brother, crossed my mind.

I hadn't heard from or seen him since that day I gave him his birthday gift... I really hoped I would but, I didn't. .
Tori talked about him sometimes.
Last I heard he got signed into some kind of record label as a drummer, and then he signed with a modeling agency and left drumming..

"Sounds good.. is uh, is anyone else.. going?" I asked trying to sound nonchalant.

She paused,
"Maybe. . I invited my brother Charlie, but, he said he might not be able to make it because he had other plans prior.." she said.
I felt my face sink abit..

"I see.. what time should I meet you two there? I just need to know because i need to -"

"8:30" she said.

I smiled,
"Cool.. See you then."

I hurried home after work, before parking and hurrying over to my neighbors house. I knocked on the door,
"Hey Nick. She's-"
