It's the beginning of December so that means the giant Christmas tree will be going up in the school yard and we're all going to help decorate it.
We all gathered outside in our warm clothes as the cold had really hit now. We watched the tree go up before we grabbed handfuls of tinsel and baubles and started running around the tree putting them on, I say we all ran... I ran. No one else ran.

"Christmas is so exciting" I smiled widely as I stood beside Sara, "yeah for you guys. I hate Christmas" Sara grumbled, "aye up Scrooge is back for another year" Reece said rolling his eyes at Sara, "you hate Christmas? How can anyone hate Christmas?" I said looking at her shocked, "the cold weather, family time which I don't get presents which guess what. I also don't get" Sara raged, "hey I got you that Lynx set last year" Reece sighed, "all I got from that gift was that I stink" Sara grumbled, "but you were so fragrant for so long" Reece smirked, "it's just I don't believe Christmas is a happy time. What about all the kids that don't have a tree and don't get presents and don't have a family to celebrate the holidays with. It's stupid" she shook her head in disgust, "then why you out here decorating the tree then?" I questioned, "George said if I came he'd buy me a tub of Ben&Jerry's" she admitted, "I've never known anyone who hates Christmas. It's so full of cheer, didn't you ever go visit Santa as a kid?" I asked her, "I was taken by the house keeper who always insisted 'I hurry on up before next Christmas gets here' and my dad would give me about £100 to spend on 'only useful things' and if I came home with something stupid he'd throw it away and tell me I was a 'silly little girl' and 'how will toys help you in the real world' you tell me what 5 year old cares about the real world" Sara grumbled, I understood this was a hard time for her but I didn't realise it was so bad, "I'm sorry I didn't know" I shrugged, "it's alright, it's just now you know why I don't like Christmas" she sighed before smiling at me.
It had kinda wrecked my mind thinking about how Sara hated Christmas. She was the first person I'd met who didn't like Christmas and I couldn't stop thinking about it, I wanted to do something for her that might change her mind, or at least smile on Christmas. Yeah I guess she'd love that we were all staying here for Christmas for her but it wasn't enough. I didn't know what I was going to do but I was thinking up something.
Nate's POV: "So, you're not a fan of Christmas?" I chuckled to Sara, "not really" she shook her head, "do you wanna go do something else then?" I questioned, "like what" she shrugged, "come on" I said holding out my hand and she took it before we headed away from the crowd.
On the way we saw Mia and Austin enjoying hot drinks in the canteen, they were smiling and laughing and having the best time in each others company, it was a surprise no one had found out about the two of them, they didn't hide their relationship as well as they should.

I took her to my room and locked the door, "you're not gonna kill me are you?" Sara questioned smiling, "of course not, it's just so no one disturbs us" I shook my head, "why what we doing?" She chuckled, "we're going to eat fatty foods and dance around like idiots until we're tired then we'll settle down and watch whatever movie you want" I smiled at her, "you're kidding" she laughed, "nope" I said popping the p. "What if I get addicted to the fatty foods?" She chuckled, "you're gonna dance it all off" I smiled, "you're crazy" she laughed, "here throw these on" I said throwing one of my t-shirts and a pair of joggers at her, "so I can look homeless?" She chuckled, "you're gonna need to be comfortable to dance like me" I smiled, "whatever" she rolled her eyes before heading into the bathroom, whilst she did that I ordered some pizza, milkshakes, chocolate and sweets from the canteen. They really didn't stick to their healthy eating program when it gets to Christmas.
"Is it bad you're clothes pretty much fit me?" Sara called from the bathroom, "yeah. I'm not exactly the tallest" I chuckled awkwardly. She opened the bathroom door and stepped out, "I look homeless" she said adjusting her messy bun, "you look gorgeous" I smiled walking over to her wrapping my arms around her and kissing her lips, "this shirts a dress on me" she said looking down at herself, "don't worry it's a dress on me too" I shrugged smirking, she laughed before I kissed her again. "Now, prepare to meet the dance master" I said in a deep voice, she chuckled, "seriously, you can dance?" She questioned, "amazingly well actually" I told her, she laughed before I attached my phone to the speakers in our room, "what song do you want?" I asked her, "the new Vamps one" she smiled, "I thought you didn't like Brad" I smirked, "I don't like him but I like his voice and his band" she shrugged, "fair enough" I sighed before playing 'All night' by the Vamps. Sara immediately started singing loudly and badly. Like my god you wouldn't think she's probably the best singer at this school. It was like she was lost in the song and she was loosing her voice because my ears hurt and I was wondering if this was a good idea. She looked at me and laughed, "Come on master of dance, show me what you've got" she shouted over the loud music, I snapped back to the fortunate reality and nodded. We both started dancing like fools, not even bothered about what we look like.

It wasn't long before we started on the Mama Mia soundtrack, Sara insisted, "Mia's gonna be so fucking jealous right now" Sara said changing the song, We ended up dancing and dueting to the various songs, I would trip up on my words and Sara would laugh at me. We were jumping about on the beds and acting like children and it was the best time of my life, acting like a fool was what I was made for.
We danced about and acted stupid for at least another hour until there was a knock at the door, "that'll be the food" I said turning the music off. I walked over to get the pizza and the rest before thanking the delivery guy and closing the door, "ooh what's that" Sara smiled, "lots of food" I smiled, Sara flopped back onto Levi's bed out of breath, "shall we stick that movie on now?" I asked her, "sure" she said sitting up, "what do you wanna watch?" I asked, "just stick Netflix on I'll decide" Sara shrugged, "ok awesome" I said putting our TV on and going to Netflix, Sara scrolled through the choices, "Hey how about this?" Sara smiled, "what's it called?" I asked, "It's a Boy, Girl thing. It's really good" Sara nodded, "what's it about?" I asked, "it's about a girl who's not so popular kind of quiet and a guy who's super popular everyone knows him and they hate each other and they get this spell put on them where they are themselves but in each others bodies and they see what it's like living from the others point of view. It's really cute" Sara smiled, "so it's a story about Beth and Drew before the constant fucking each other?" I asked, "actually yeah kinda" she shrugged smiling, "oh awesome, let's watch it" I smiled, she clicked play and we climbed into my bed and ate our food whilst watching the movie, Sara snuggled up to my side and I wrapped my arm around her, "this is literally what would happen if Beth and Drew were each other" I sighed, "I've only just noticed that" Sara laughed, she sounded tired.
By the end of the movie and most of the food Sara had fallen asleep, I held her close and kissed her head. The door opened and Levi walked in, "hey you ordered pizza without me" he whispered noticing Sara was asleep, "yeah and it was good" I smirked, he glared at me before walking in and sitting on his bed, "have you been jumping up and down on my bed again?" He questioned, I chuckled, "yeah kinda" I nodded, he grumbled with a smirk. He then pulled out his phone and took a picture of me and Sara and sent it to our group chat, I then glared at him, "why are we friends?"
