The Exchange Student

christmas day

Christmas morning, one of my favourite times of the year.

I open my bedroom door and saw Sarah and the boys at their doorways as well.

I stared at them and they stared back at me.

I then ran down stairs with the twins and Sarah chasing me.

We ran to the tree and looked under at all the presents.

The boys grabbed their presents and started unrapping them, as well as me and Sarah.

I got some new paints and a drawing kit.

We had our Christmas lunch then there was a knock at the door.

Sarah and me both got up to get it and were greeted by Ben and Connor.

They were each holding roses and gifts.

"What are you guys doing here?" Sarah said.

"Our families werent doing anything so we decided to be with the girls we love." Connor said smiling.

We invited them inside and they sat down.

"Whos the flowers for?" Sarah asked coming back with drinks.

"Your mum." Ben said.

"Well thank you for those, their beautiful." Mum said putting them in water.

"We got your brothers some stuff as well." Connor said giving the presents to them.

"And of corse we got you two something." Ben said giving Sarah a box.

Connor gave me the box and I kissed his cheek.

I opened it and there was a beautiful necklace.

It was shaped like an old fashioned key.

"Connor this is beautiful you shouldnt of." I said staring at its beauty.

"Well I did. And look." He said grabbing the necklace.

He held the key and took out his keys.

He had a new key chain I had never seen before.

It was a thick love heart with a key hole in the middle.

He placed my key necklace inside of the key hole and unlocked it.

He opened it up and there was a photo of me and him at the tree we went to for our first proper date.

"You have the key to my heart." He said staring into my eyes.

"I love you." I said kissing him.

We continued giving gifts and just talking until night was upon us.

"Well we better be heading out, thanks for having us Miss Sanders." Ben said to Sarahs mum.

"No problem boys youre welcome anytime." She smiled.

We walked them to the door when Sarah looked up.

"Missletoe." She smirked.

"Ewww so cheesy." Connor said mocking them as Ben leaned in to kiss Sarah.

Connor took me outside and we stood on the porch, staring into eachothers eyes.

It was snowing, but ut wasnt hard snow, more like a sprinkle.

The street lights were the only thing we could see with, it was pretty much the most romantic place ever.

"I love you." Connor said caressing my cheek.

"Youve said that." I teased.

"And Im gonna tell you till the day I die." He smiled.

I stood up onto my tipy toes and kissed him.

It lasted a while until we were rudly interupted by Sarah and Ben.

"Eww kissing." Ben cringed.

We waved goodbye and went to our room.

A truly wonderful Christmas.
