Silver bells (NanoWrimo) (A holiday story)

Social media

Within the next hour I was ready. With my tight pants leather jacket and my Misses Claus necklace.

 "Good morning," Dad says coming in, in a suit.

 "Morning. Why are you wearing a suit?" I asked.

 "Well," he stutters. what was he hiding?! "There is a parent meeting at your school today and I have been one of the people chosen to be on the next year's parent's counsel," he blurts out. But we don't have one of those?!

 "So what are you doing today? You look nice," he asks, changing the subject.

" I'm going to the school too. Noon on the DOT," I say and his eyes open wide slightly. "Is there something wrong dad?"

 "No of course not. I will see you there then. I'm taking my car right now, I volunteer to set up some food," he picks up a packaged plate on the counter.

Then goes out the door. Now that was very interesting. She then takes out a notebook and pen; and stashes it in her leather jacket. Picking up her cell phone, she then heads off, and jogs to the school.

 Slowing down once she got there, she stopped and hid behind one of the pillars at the front gates. She turns the video mode on, on her phone, slipping it in her front pocket on her jacket; just enough for the lens to be able to record.

 She knew she was going to probably need this video evidence if anything serious happened in there. At that, she put her Hood up and walked into the school.

 The moment you walk in the hall she was surprised. It was so crowded! she thought. She noticed that students, parents and teachers alike were all crowded in the hall. What are they all doing here during summer vacation?!

 "hey everyone! the gym doors are opening!" some people cheer and everyone else does too and then we all headed into the gym.

I eventually got in too and who was on stage surprised me. Mr. Peterson, Cheerilee, Xavier, Ginger, and Mr. Halloween. They were all standing proud as we all walked in. Is this a cult or something, I don't know what to say to this. she thought. Staying near the back and zoomed in her camera as close as she could without being noticed.

 Mr. Halloween steps up to the mic. "Welcome everyone. I am so glad all of you have come to join us again on our very special day of official orientation!" everyone cheers and applause's.

 You all have seen and heard the unbelievable! You have seen the sparks and learned the holiday figures you have known since you were a kid are real!" he says and I freeze. Mr. Halloween exposed us! That was against the law right?!

He looks across the crowd, "Day's like this, make me glad that I have come out. And perfecting the ability to be seen by all for once," everyone laughs. How so?, she thought.

"And now those lucky people, who have shown great loyalty to Ginger and I shall be given the gift to Produce Sparks. What only we ministers and holiday citizens are able to do!" everyone claps and the three of them standing up straighter. What was he doing?! At that moment my necklace started to heat up.

I tried to calm down myself. How would they even be able to do that? I've been told that only we could produce sparks because of our holiday Destiny connection with no help at all .

"Ginger please bring up the box," Mr. Halloween asked and ginger brings it up and opened it. There were three necklaces inside with each having up and it was some sort of flower inside; looking closely at it she can almost swear what kind of flower it was. She knows that she has it at her house in her botany notes. She will have to check later.

 Mr. Halloween took out each necklace and puts them on Mr. Peterson's, Cheerilee's, and Xavier necks.

" Go ahead. try them and show us all what you can do," says mr. Halloween, everyone goes silent. The three of them get into a secure stance and held onto the pendants, and then closed their eyes.

 Moments later gray, purple and green ribbons flew around them along with bubbles and fire like Sparks. Everyone awes but I stare in disgust. Can't they smell the Copper, feel the emptiness of those Sparks because she could. Her nose crinkles.

These were the worst Sparks she has ever seen. once they open up their eyes, Cheerilee was really jumping with joy, while Mr. Peterson and Xavier showed great pride in themselves. I think I was going to be sick, she thought.

 "That I was absolutely great for you guys' first try," says Mr. Halloween with a smile. He's really lieing through his teeth.

" Now since we are all here, let's all have a good time," and everyone starts chatting and I decide to leave. 

Once out of sight of school, I take my phone out and pause the video. Looking around I made sure I wasn't followed. And to my relief, the video looks like it turned out great. Then I walk the rest of the way home 

I immediately downloaded the video on each piece of technology possible so, I would not lose it. she made sure to add it to her journal. Then looking through her notes from her botany class from Camp; she finds that the flower she saw in the pendants was a wild mrjoram which is said to cause Illusions which clearly explained how they were all able to do what they had done. From This Moment On. She must collect her evidence and show it to everyone on Christmas when she goes to the pole; it shall be a crazy ride.
