Roseville Middle School

Jingle Bells

" Hey Izzy!"  Nathan caught up with me as he saw me leave the cafeteria. 

I turned and caught his eyes.  Bursting into laughter, he wrapped his arms around me and gave me a bear hug.  I looked him in his eyes and saw that his eyes were softening.  He leaned in and when I thought he was going to kiss me when we were at school.  He only whispered in my ear. 

" Let's go somewhere else."  

I smiled at him and grabbed his hands.  We ran out to the courtyard just outside my locker and fell onto the snowy ground laughing. 

" Is this somewhere else?"  I asked him.  

He nodded and kissed my cheek. 

After taking attendance, Nathan picked me up from my classroom.  Ignoring the fact that Louie was in the same class with me, he just simply stood by the door and waited patiently.   

" Hello Nathan..."  Louie stared at Nathan. 

" Hi Louie, I think you girlfriend is waiting for you."  He tilted his head towards Nuela.  

She was waving like mad to him.   It's such a pity she's not in the same classes as us, or she would've taken over Louie's life. 

I walked towards them and they both turned at the same time. 

" Hi Izzy."  They said in unison. 

I smiled and waved to them.  Then Louie walked to Nuela and they left.  Louie looked at me before letting Nuela drag him to the mall. 

" So...  Do you want to revise?"  Nathan asked me as we cycled back to my place. 

" Sure.  Exams are coming after Christmas.  So we better revise before to get ready for it."  I told him.

He already told me that he was going to take me Christmas shopping and Nuela told the girls that they were going to have a huge house party because their parents are out of town, Louie told me that he wanted a skateboard lesson and Kayla said we could ice-skate at her place.  I remember that the other half of my family is coming to stay and Hazel- nut is coming over to stay too.  

We went straight to my bedroom and started studying.  Before the day ended, we were both ready as we'll ever be for the exams.  After he left, I prepared myself for the craziest holiday that I would have.
