Wow, Christmas is almost here? Already? November went by quick and December is nearly over. I don't have any plans for the break but my best friend, Terry, and I seem to find something to do. I took my hot chocolate upstairs to my room, where my TV was showing a commercial for soap. "What is entertainment? " Totally ignoring that. Let me just text Terry.

Marc: Hey, I'm bored. :/ 8:57pm

I sat down on my bed, flicking through channels. Adult swim, no. Cartoon Network, no. Nick at Night... No. "There's nothing good oonn..." My phone vibrated.

Terry: Aww, poor bby. 8:59pm

"Well..." Me and Terry have a weird friendship. Sometimes, I'm her son. Sometimes, I'm her dad. Rarely, we're husband and wife. Often times, we're brother and sister.

Marc: Come entertain me peez. c: 9:00pm

She's rather fun, though. My drink was finished when I went back to it for another sip. I just made it though... I shivered. The cold attacked my skin rather viciously if I didn't have a jacket on or something to cover my skin. I stood from my bed, starting to go turn the heat up when my phone vibrated. I didn't bother to check it; instead, I tossed it in the pocket of my pants and went to the thermostat.

"Hey, who left this thing on 68°?" I yelled, putting it back on 75°. Ours is luckily in °F instead of °C. I remembered Terry's text and pulled out my phone. I recently switched from Iphone to Android, the S4 is pretty nice.

Terry: But, I don haz car. :c 9:03pm

Marc: Flyyy :D 9:07pm

I smiled, hitting the send button. I feel like me and Terry could be that cool pair of friends everyone's like "just date already" and we're like nooo... My mom ships us at least: Merry. I hate it. I did get around to asking Terry if she was doing anything, once I made my second cup of cocoa.

Terry: :< 9:09pm

Marc: XD Wyd this Friday, sis? 9:10pm

Terry: Rien 9:11pm

Marc: ._. 9:11pm

Terry: *sighs* French for nothing? 9:13pm

Marc: ....... I knew that, Terry. Just testing your intelligence... 9:13pm

Terry: Lies. 9:14pm

Marc: Hehe. Arcade at 12? 9:16pm

Terry: Am or Pm? 9:17pm

Marc: .______. 9:19pm

Terry: :P see you Friday, marker. 9:20pm

Marc: You know i hate that name, Fairy -_- 9:22pm

Terry: -_- 9:24pm

From there was name-calling and insults. I really hate when she calls me marker. She hates when I call her fairy. We're even.

Friday came quicker than I expected. Two reasons I chose the arcade: Favorite spot, and heat! I walked through the doors, inhaling the weird aroma the arcade always had. I just stood there for a moment, thinking how nice it is to go somewhere with functional heat, outside of the house.

Just as I.lifted my foot over the threshold, a large human-like weight caught my back. Terry. "Markerrr!!!"

"Get off me, Fairy!!" She started to lick me. My cheeks ran hot, enough heat to keep me warm in this blizzard.
