"A little bit higher," Collete instructed Paulina, who was placing a sparkly glass star at the big spruce tree at the entrance of MansFord Academy.
"Stop! Hang it right next to that silver ball." Pauline smiled back at Collete. "Its perfect, Collete. You have such an eye in these things."
The festive atmosphere of Christmas filled the air at the academy. the semester was over, and the students were happy and excited for the holidays. They all pitched in, stringing colored lights and decorations through the halls.
The 5 friends had offered to decorate the huge tree that stood at the academy entrance. Each year, it was decorated in a different theme.
This year's theme was snow , and the 5 friends thought it was perfect. The magical silver and sparkling white colors were enchanting, and reminded them of the fantastic adventures that they'd had together.
"I made an ornament for the tree." Violet said shyly. She carefully opened a small box that she held in her hands.
"Wow Violet! Its beautiful!" Pamela exclaimed. "Did you really make this your self?"
Violet nodded and held up the ornament~ a blue glass ball with a perfect replica of MansFord Academy nestled in the snow inside it.
Nicky looked stunned. "Where did you learn to make things like that?"
"My grandfather taught me when I was young," Violet explained. "He would spend hours making models of ships to put inside bottles. so I thought to myself, why not try with a glass ball, and our school?"
"Its fabulous, Vi!" Collete exclaimed. "It makes the tree even more beautiful."
" Gee, snow. Could this year's theme be even more boring?" A familiar voice asked.
The friends turned to see Ruby Flash behind them. She loved to make trouble for the friends.
"Hi Ruby." Nicky said with a friendly smile. "Would you like to help us decorate the tree? We really have some beautiful ornaments for it."
Ruby shrugged. "Sorry, but I have something much better to do."
She paused, waiting for someone to ask her what it was. But they weren't interested. They turned back to the decorations.
"Well," Ruby continued. "I'm getting ready for the holidays. I'm going to an exclusive ski resort in the mountains."
"Okay, well, have fun." Collete replied casually.
Ruby clinched her hands, turned around, and walked away. The friends looked at one another, they knew Ruby well, and this was just like her. Then they continued decorating the tree. They wanted it to be the most beautiful tree possible.
