Chapter 39-decorating

Cory's p.o.v

Everyone was at my house. We were all getting my Christmas decorations from the basement. We all placed the boxes of decorations in the living room. Nick and Tommy started setting up the tree.

Dawn and Jon were getting the ornaments out and putting them on a table. Soon Nick and Tommy finished setting up the tree. Dawn and Jon began putting up the ornaments. 

Jon was trying to put one near the top but couldn't reach it. Dawn laughed and picked up Jon so he could reach. Jon blushed and put the ornament on. I laughed a bit. I looked  through one of the boxes and found the mistletoe. I knew I probably shouldn't put it up. But since when do I care. I grabbed it out then walked around to find the perfect place to put it.

I wandered around and accidentally ran into Bri. I dropped the mistletoe. She almost fell over. But I caught her. We were inches apart. This reminded me of high school. She smiled at me and I smiled back. She then grabbed something off the floor and held her arm above us. I was confused. I looked up and saw the mistletoe. I looked back down at her and blushed.

"Kiss me Cory," she said in a weird voice and puckering up her lips. I laughed nervously. She was blushing a bit. She then moved forward and kissed me. I gasped. We both smiled. I set her down regularly then grabbed the mistletoe. I then walked off. 

I was still blushing as I walked away. I can't believe that just happened. It's been so long since I've actually been kissed. By anyone. Honestly, it felt pretty good. I smiled and continued to walk around happily still looking for a spot to put the mistletoe.

I finally found the perfect spot, where It would be able to catch a lot of people. I hung it up then snickered and snuck off. I went back to the living room and grabbed the garland. 

The tree looked pretty. It was all lit up with rainbow lights and it had a lot of pretty ornaments on it. Nick and Tommy were helping Jon and Dawn. I wonder where Shelby, SGC, Uni, Ashlie, and Bri are. 

I walked into the kitchen. Inside I found Shelby, Ashlie, and Bri making a gingerbread house. They were laughing. Shelby had icing all over her face. Ashlie had icing on nose. And Bri had icing on her cheek. I laughed at the sight. The girls all looked at me and smiled. 

"Hey Cory," they said.

"Hi," I replied.

"What are you doing?" Ashlie asked.

"Just looking around for a place to put this garland," I said juggling all the garland in my arms. The girls laughed.

"Okay," Bri said.

"You should put some on the railing!" Shelby said. I nodded.

"Good idea Shelby!" I said. She blushed a bit.

"N-no problem!" She stuttered.

"Well I have to go get this hung up, bye girls," I then left the kitchen. I decided to go upstairs to decorate too. As I went up I put the garland on the railing. Soon I reached the top but still had garland. 

I passed by Uni's room trying to see if I should put the garland up here. I heard some mumbling. Then a crash. I was a bit alarmed. I knocked on the door.

"One second!" I heard his British voice answer. I stood outside waiting. I heard frantic moving. Then he opened the door still keeping it closed, opened enough for me just to see his head.

"Hey Cory!" He said kinda nervously.

"Hi," I said.

"What's up?" He asked stepping outside of his room and closing the door behind him. I caught a glimpse inside and saw a large mess. What could he be doing in there?
