And then I met You ➳ n.h

Christmas

Before I realized, it was December 25th, Christmas morning. It was sunny outside..but there was a cool breeze that made it feel "cold". It's hard to explain..stupid bipolar weather!!!

Christmas Day. Another day to not be kissed under a mistletoe or go on a ride on a slide being pulled by reindeer, under the snow. Another day wondering when my "love story" will begin and where my Prince is. Probably stuck on a damn tree or something!!

I slipped my feet into my fluffy black slippers, often confused with a dog, and made my way to the living room. The view of a huge Christmas tree always seems to freeze me for a little, like a toddler in awe during their first visit to Disneyland. I've never been there - too darn classic- but I imagine that's how it felt.

I started looking for my presents. Hopefully the iPhone I've been asking for since last year!! I find 2 boxes and an envelope.
I open the first box...2 hoodies. Finally! I love hoodies..i dunno why so don't ask, I'm into tomboy looks sometimes. I open the second box. Much smaller in size, OH MY GOD!! I yelled at the top of my lungs. A new black iPhone!!! I couldn't believe my eyes. It was finally mine!!!! I was so excited I forgot to open the envelope.

I could finally text my friends!!

You're probably thinking:

"She didn't have a phone???"

Well. I did but it was a very ugly and old phone so I don't like using it. I'm not really a social butterfly. I normally keep my thoughts to myself, it leads to less trouble. But I've never had friends like the ones I have right now. I've alway been stuck with wrong or fake friendships.

Here's a short story: Kate was my friend since the 3rd grade. But we took separate ways once we realized we had different goals. Once we realized our friendship wasn't as "true" as we thought.

Nonetheless, Jennifer, Adriana, and Celeste are the total opposite. They're true friends and I hate going days without talking to them because they're the only ones I can be my true self with.

"Merry Christmas honey!" I hear from behind me. I see my mom standing next to the sofa with her arms open. I ran towards her and hugged her tightly. Kinda like a 5-year old when their mom picks then up from daycare -except I'm 17.  I couldn't help it. I was so happy!!

"Merry Christmas! THANK YOU!!!" I say when the hug breaks. She smiles at me. A warm smile..that makes you feel better and safe deep inside.

I'm guessing my dad is still asleep. If it was for him he would probably sleep for days. He's like my Papa Bear, because.. Bears sleep a lot. Don't they? No pun intended.

"Have you opened the last present? I know you didn't ask for it. But we though you might like it." My mom says, still with a joyous smile on her lips.

"Uhm. No..wait. The envelope thing?"

"Haha. Yes!"

"Oh. No I haven't. I was too excited about the iPhone that I completely forgot!!!"

I open the envelope only to find 2 tickets to the One Direction concert on July next year. I wasn't as excited for that.

I do like Pop music. And I admit One Direction has amazing catchy songs. But I'm not as crazy for them as many fans are. I do think they're all hot tho. I mean. Who in the world that is entirely sane would think the opposite!?!? But I didn't ask to go to their concert. Mhmm.. Two tickets, I wonder who the second ticket is for.

My mom's voice interrupted my train of thoughts,
"I know you didn't ask for them. But you do like some songs by them. Your dad and I thought you might like going to that concert with Jennifer. Isn't she a big fan of them?" I laugh, knowing that what she said is nothing but the truth. Jennifer has been a huge fan ever since she saw their movie "This is Us" and she is dying to go watch them perform live. I can't wait to let her know the great news! It'll brighten up her Christmas even more.

"First text on my new phone!" I yell out.
