James flipped a page. It was Christmas Eve... just another day of their break.

James flipped another page. He's currently in their common room at their dormitories, sitting on the most comfortable love seat the world has ever known. He didn't went home for the holidays. Christmas doesn't really mean much to him.

The door opened to the common room and someone entered. James didn't look up. Surely it was just one of those who didn't go home as well. It was either Bret, Sam, Andre or Henz, it could also be one of the girls.

It turned out it was Andre. He sat right beside him. James still didn't look up from his book.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

James resist to roll his eyes. "Reading."

"Reading what? We don't have homeworks. It's Christmas." Andre pointed out.

"Just reading. It's not a crime. Why don't you try? You don't seem busy." James said, eyes still on his book.

Andre shrugged and took one book from the table. The thinnest one, with all the colorful drawings. James inwardly sighed.

"The Little Match Girl." Andre read out loud. He opened the book and James thought he'd have peace at last.

"Hey, James, look." Andre said after just a minute. James didn't respond.

"Look! There's a mistletoe!" Andre said excitedly. From James's peripheral view, he could see the younger boy pointing on top of them.

"I don't really care." James said.

"C'mon James! Just look!" Andre insisted.

And then it hit James.

So that's Andre's plan. "Andre, I'm completely comfortable in my seat. I will not fall for that and leave this comfortable sofa." He said, still not looking away from his book. But he had stopped reading a while ago.

They'd always fight over the sofa. All of the boys staying in this dorm. It was just unrealistically comfortable to sit there.

"James~" Andre pouted. "I'm not telling you to give me your seat. I'm serious! There's really a mistletoe right above us."

James sighed, and he finally looked up. Surely there was a mistletoe. What was a mistletoe doing there?

"Andre," He said tentatively, "if you want me to kiss you, I'm telling you that would never happen." He deadpanned.

Andre laughed. "Thank God."

"Is that a mistletoe?" They heard someone say from the door. It was Yassi coming from the girls' dormitories.

"It is!" She said. "Guys, you know what this means!" She teased.

James rolled his eyes.

"Guys, I made some hot chocolate. Want some?" It was Nadine this time. She was holding a mug of chocolate.

"Look, Nadz! There's a mistletoe right on top of James and Andre!" Yassi said.

"Huh? How did a mistletoe get there? Did you put up decorations?" Nadine asked, completely missing Yassi's point.
