The Incident in December 20

16- December 19, 2027

     I woke up early, feeling pain in my insides. It really hurts, I can feel the twisting thing you feel when you have a menstruation. But it is everywhere. I can feel it on my chest either, and every minute, it just gets even worse.

    I didn't bother it anymore. Auntie wasn't at home for the past 2 days. Still mad, I guess. I bought pizza for my share later at the party. I'm sure everybody loves pizza, so I decided to buy 2 boxes. Pepperoni and a cheesed flavor pizza.

     I hurried to take a bath. I am actually excited. Especially on exchanging gifts. I also bought gifts to my close friends. To Amy as well, I'll ask Nicholas to give it to her. I wish she'll love the hairpin. Well it has sakura flowers as it's design. It's nice.

     I ran from my home to school. It was actually cold and everything, but I still managed to get through this time of the year. I saw students too, bringing their gifts and their shares. I actually saw Aaron having 3 paper bags just for the gifts. I have a gift for him, and I am sure he'll love it.

     I went directly to the classroom. The class was decorated with different 'Christmas related' decorations.  Everybody was there, sitting on the floor and chatting with each other. There's a small group having a game. It was 'Truth or Dare.'  They're actually laughing historically with the person in the middle. He was the victim. I looked at them and they greeted me. I smiled back and went to the long rectangular table at the back of the class. I placed my share on the side and just sat on the middle of the floor. Everybody was asking me to join their big group. I saw Nicholas there. The 'Truth or Dare' group joined in too.

     I joined. I sat beside Luisa. She was eating chocolates.

     "Early in the morning, ehh?" I said. Luisa chuckled and so did I. It was Hershey's. She said she will hand us chocolates too as her mini token before Christmas break. I nodded.

     We are playing 'The Truth' only. No dares. I'd better choose dares than to spill out the truth. What if they'll ask something personal, I can't just back-out, I'll be a laughing stock.

     As the bottle slowly begins to stop spinning, I knew it would end up on Hana. A little while longer.

     Spin, spin, and last spin. It stopped at Danica. Oops, I was actually wrong. Hey! I'm not a witch that can know the future or whatsoever. Everybody mumbled to what will be the question. I looked at Danica, feeling worried and some sort but, it's kinda for fun only. So no offense to those people. No offense to me too.

     They've gathered and came up into one honorable question, I suppose.

     "Is it true that when you first entered here, you thought of Jacob as your teacher because he was just wearing glasses?" Hana asked.

     Ya, Jacob looks like a teacher. Especially when he talks and especially that he acts so disciplined. It was  just a misunderstanding, so I also thought of Jacob as a teacher or a professor here in school. Poor Danica, forced to do things she doesn't even want to get involved in.

     In the end, she nodded. As time passes, the bottle just spins and spins until, it stopped on Nicholas's direction. Everybody was thinking of a good truth question.

     I looked at Nicholas's expression. He was so calm and serene, it feels like he wouldn't be embarrassed at all. He looked me back this way, the awkward look. I stared at him for a moment and then, just a little while longer, I smiled. And lip synced, "Hello."

     He turned his head, he was angry still. But I didn't notice that he faces me again, lip syncing, "Hi."

     Is he still angry?
