Christmas

It's finally christmas break! Mrs. Camecry is on break too so all the scholarship kids in the group decided to stay. No I'm not part of their group but I hangout with them sometimes.

Since Camecry was gone mr. Waltson was in charge, so basically it was a mad house. No rules no cares. Because the funny thing about Waltson is he can't be fired. Because, if he is the whole school would leave. The whole school loves him.

Karen didn't stay but I didn't really care. She was mad at me still. Whatever I didn't need her.

"What is your problem with me." I ask Juliana. "What do you mean?" She asks. "You always look at me like I have some communicable disease." I say. "You just seem too rich. And I don't like girls like that." She says. "What if I could show you I'm not one of those people." I ask. "Well just a glance at your bedroom. Jess, Jessi, and Alice have normal bed sheets. Yours are Gucci. Alice's heating hair irons look like they've been used for years, yours look like they've been used once or twice at most." She says. I sigh. "Look I can't change it but I really want to be your friend. Will you please forgive me?" I beg.

"I'll forgive you, but you're not my friend." She says. Ouch. Her and Reneigh still hate me. Why? I try to be nice to both of them but I guess my white rich girl aura still shines through. That's what Alice told me.

"What's an airis?" I had asked. "Not airis, aura. And it's just well, the sense you throw off, like tomboyish, shy, rude, stuff like that." She answered. "Well whatever, I don't care if they like me or not." But I secretly did. "Yes you do." she responds. "No!" I retort. "Well the current aura you're throwing off says so." She responds. "How can you read my mind?" I question. "Well I can just read your aura, you're very timid about what you're saying right now. You also didn't look at me when you said you didn't care, and last you were kind of blushing." She responds. This girl is blowing my mind.

"So how often do you do this?" I wonder aloud. "You're treating me like I'm some alien or something, all I'm really doing is reading facial expressions. It's not 'mythical' just looking at you when you speak, and paying attention. Not many people pay attention to eachother anymore. Especially since I'm scholarship and they're full paying." She says. This kid is deep! "Hmm interesting." I try to throw her off guard. She simply rolls her eyes and gets the spray bottle.

Her and I have the two bottom bunks. Which she has used extra blankets to make a curtain. She is kind of secretive. Jess and jessi are still sleeping. It's christmas morning and we wanted to wait for them until we opened our presents. Jess brought a small tree from home and we all got presents for eachother. Our parents also sent us gifts that mr. Waltson wouldn't give us till Christmas Eve.

After returning with the spray bottle she shot jess and jessi with it. Jess was about to kill her when I shouted. "Wake up its christmas!" She sighs, and stops hitting alice in the head with the spray bottle. Jessi sighs and shakes her head.

"Well how should we do this?" I ask. "Why don't we open the gifts we gave to eachother first, starting with you Rechelle." Jessi says.

I don't argue (it's pointless trying to argue with Jessi) and open my gift from her. It was a pair of huge earrings, they were like spike balls. She sits there smiling. "Thought something cheap would make you laugh." She says. And I do. After I do put them in though, and they look really pretty.

"Open mine next." Jess says. It's a necklace with the same spike ball. "They match." She smirks. I laugh again and put it on. They look really good, maybe I don't need really expensive jewelry to look good.

Alice is just looking down at us smiling her phone in hand, ready to take a picture. So I open her gift. It's a tube of my favorite lipstick. "But this is so expensive!" I exclaim. "I knew you've changed at least a little." She retorts. "What?" I ask. "Well if I'd given you this when you came in in October you wouldve said 'is this all you cheapskate?' And handed it back to me. Now you ask why I got you it. And the reason is you were running out of yours." She smiles. I hug her.

"Jess next!" I volunteer. "Okay." she looks scared. She opens the one from Jessi. It was a curling iron. Jessi smirks. "Now you have to do your hair in the mornings more than just combing or blow drying it." "Fine." Jess says.

"Alice was a straightening iron really necessary?" She asks. Alice just grins at her.

She finally opens mine. "A pug calendar? Thank you so much!" She says. "Well you like pugs and we needed a calendar so I thought, why not?" I respond. She smiles which I receive as a thank you.

"Jessi your turn." Alice states. "Okay." She says. She opens Alice's first. "A journal really?" She asks. "You know how you're always so deep, I figured you'd like a journal to put all the deep thoughts in." Alice responds.

"Thanks jess, since you stole my other one." Jessi states. Jess had gotten Jessi a headband which apparently she had lost last summer just to bug her. Jess smirks.

"Thanks rechi." Jessi simply states on mine. I had gotten her a set of fancy pens. "Well you need a fancy way to write you're deep thoughts." I say she smiles laughing.

"Ok Alice now you have to." I say. "Fine rechi." she says. I had gotten her a new dress. It was retro with buttons all the way down the front, it was floral. "I love it." She says. I'm suprised. She never says the word love about any clothes or objects, just people. "Really you sure?" I question. She hugs me. She had never really told me she loved me. I took it as she loved me, not the item.

"Now open mine." Jessi says. It's a bow. "You always want to do my hair so I got something for yours." She smiles and hugs jessi.

She opens Jess' and just kind of sits there. It's a new spray bottle. She just stares at it then walks to the bathroom. She walks out again with a full bottle. She immediately sprays jess with a smirk on her face. Jess just glares not wanting to stand up. she then sets down the bottle and hugs Jess.

▪️▫️▪️▫️▪️

We spend the whole day chatting and laughing. Jess' parents had got her a portable oven and supplies to cook. She had always loved baking.

Jessi's parents had gotten her a summer pass to a national park in Wyoming where she lived. She always loved four-wheeling and snowmobiling.

Alice had received her first guitar. She was happy but didn't know exactly how to play it. She decided jenifer would help her learn.

Mine had gotten me a new phone that I didn't really want. I already had an iPhone and a good laptop, I didn't need another one.

I went to sleep that night on Alice's bed. She just scooted me over, to lazy to wake me up or carry me to the other bed so we just awkwardly fit into the bed together, almost falling off. This had been the best Christmas ever.
