Sky's First Christmas

Chapter 3

Chapter 3 - December 16th

Christmas was coming closer and closer. It was the final day of term so I took in my secret Santa for Hannah. She loved her present. Darcey was my secret Santa. She got me a perfume. It smelled wonderful. The girls were talking about a place called "winter wonderland". I had no idea what it was. It sounded fun.

"What's winter wonderland?"

"It's an ice skating rink with a fair and it's really fun." Said Tilly.

"Are you all going?" I questioned.

"I'm going with my family, so is Tilly and Darcey. Alice is going with some club she goes to."

"I want to go."

"Why don't you ask your Mum? I'm sure the teenagers you hang out with would like to go as well." Darcey suggested.

"That's a good idea. I think I will."

I asked Clyde and Rani on the way home if they were interested.

"I love ice skating, I'll go with you." Rani told me.

"I'm not the best at ice skating but I'll come as well." Clyde added.

I wondered if Mum would let us go. Clyde and Rani came straight over to mine. Mum was in a really good mood when we got in.

"Mum, can we got to winter wonderland please?"

"Of course you can. I'll take you all in a few days!"

I'd never seen her in this good of a mood before.

"Thanks Mum."

"It's ok!"

Mum went out the kitchen.

"Clyde, Rani, why is Mum acting like this?"

"I don't know." Rani responded.

"Maybe it's aliens?" Clyde suggested.

"Maybe but I don't think so."

Mum came back in with my usual afternoon snack. I ate it. She told us why she was in such a good mood.

"So... guess what!"

"What?" Rani said.

"Luke's coming over for Christmas!"

"That's amazing!" Clyde said.

"I can't wait to see him. He's going to come over on December 20th. We'll take him to this winter wonderland place as a treat."

"I bet he'll love that." Rani said.

"Oh I know he will." Said Mum.

I stayed silent. I didn't really know Luke. I really wanted to meet him.

December 20th - Sky meets Luke.

Sky's POV

I woke up at 8:25. I got dressed then went downstairs. Mum was up, making a cup of tea. She was in an even better mood than she was when she first found out that Luke was coming to stay. She decided to buy us a breakfast because she didn't want to risk burning the kitchen down. Especially since Luke was coming over. We had a bacon and sausage breakfast roll. It was really nice. Clyde and Rani came over at about 12. We were all waiting for Luke. Mum stared getting worried that something had happened. She was probably being paranoid. At 12:15, a yellow car pulled up outside the house. It was Luke. Mum's face lit up. She ran to the door to greet Luke. Clyde and Rani followed after. I stayed in the living room. They all came in and Rani took Luke's bags to the guest room. She came down in time for Luke to meet me. He came into the room. It was really Luke. My brother.
