Today was the last day of school before Christmas break started tomorrow, on the 15th. And it was safe to say that I was completely ready for not having school for a good three or so weeks. And I could tell everyone else was too, since most people were jumpy, energetic, and probably very happy to be halfway through the last year of high school.

Which, I guess, isn't bad, considering that these were the same people I see sleep deprived and unhappy every day.

But, I was especially excited after Aera has asked me to come down to the beach with her and couple other of our friends before Christmas. I accepted almost immediately because I loved going to the beach in the winter. especially in the middle of it, like now.

It was always so more enjoyable when almost no one else was there, and all of the colour combinations this time of year from the sky and the ocean always gave off colours that were very pretty to me.

Though Aera and I still had a little mini argument going on around the angel, I think it'll still be fun nonetheless.

As for now, it was nearing the end of the day, and I now had my second-to-last class before then: biology. As I entered the room, I noticed Hyeokjae send me a small smile from his seat.

That's another thing that's happened since the dance; Hyeokjae. It seemed like thanks to Aera, we had gotten closer. And, for the first time in a couple weeks, it seriously felt like I had nothing to worry about.

Well, that is, I felt like that until I was reminded of the angel. He had just walked over to his usual seat by the window, which made me let out a faint sigh.

He was always so quiet, so much that he always seemed to be in the background of everything. And as I've said before, I don't know how I felt about that, considering how abnormal, and crazy this entire situation was.

"Quiet!"

But, for the moment, it didn't matter.

When I got home, I did realise that there was another thing I had to worry about that I hadn't considered. Midterms are usually around the 3rd to the 10th of January, which meant they were almost immediately after the break.

Considering this, I would normally have to study a lot during the break to prepare. But, with Aera asking me to the beach, my problem is pretty evident.

As I hung up my backpack in the hallway, I prayed that I could come to some kind of compromise with my mom.

"Mom?"

"I'm here."

I walked into the kitchen to see her sitting there, with her phone in hand as she smiled.
