Clink. Clink. Clink.
I open my window, already knowing who would be there. A rock flies an inch away from my face and into my room.
"Shit, sorry!" Caesar whispers.
I pick the rock up and throw it back out. "One of these days, you will break my freaking window. Why are you here again?"
"I like hanging out with you," he says with a grin.
"Whatever," I roll my eyes, "get up here."
"Sweet," he whispers back as he climbs to my window and squeezes through it. Once he's in, he crashes onto my bed. "So, who did you get for the secret Santa thing?"
"I'm not allowed to tell. You even said it yourself."
"I'll tell you mine."
"Why do you want to know so badly?"
"You got me, didn't you?"
"I don't know. You'll know on Christmas Eve."
"You got me."
"I'll just give you one hint. It's not you."
"Can I exchange it for a better hint?"
"No returns."
"Mean."
"You can wait three days."
"I can't," he says, sulking.
"Yes, you can."
"Hmm.. lets watch a movie?" He says, completely ignoring me.
"It's midnight. I have to sleep."
"We don't have school. I would take advantage of that if I were you."
"Fine.. what movie?"
"Moonrise Kingdom?"
"What's that?"
"I don't know.. I saw it on Netflix."
"Moonrise Kingdom it is."
