EVERYONE'S STORY

Last and this month.

For the rest of November and December, Barbara and China sang in the school choir the Christmas songs that they'll sing for the holidays. Patthew, Matthew and Ryan are remained as The Three Stooges, and they show up to hear the girls sing in some rehearsals.

Thursday, November 15th. That afternoon during lunch.

Last month, Matthew's ex-teammates and basketball peers decided to help him speed date with available girls, besides the cheerleaders, to help him get over Brittani Stalls. Matthew turned them down, thanked them for the help, and told them, "I decide to not date anyone for a while. Until I heal, I'll go back to the market." Lucky for him, they understood.

Since Saturday, December 8th.

For this month, Patthew and Robyn became stronger and official on their twelfth date, and decided to celebrate their future anniversaries, every year.

Friday, December 14th. That afternoon.

Barbara stood up to Patricia when she had enough with Patricia's sociopathic tendencies against her and that was when everyone in A6 (Day A, period 6) found out her baggage.

"Goldilocks, I have had it with you! Why don't you act like this to your messed-up poppa at home, instead!?" This shocked everyone in the gym, including Coach Walter. "Oh, wait! You can't. Because you are as powerless at home but feel so much more powerful when you are NOT around him!" Barbara sternly exposed Patricia in her face and Patricia gulped in fear, causing most to snicker. "You are weak, Goldilocks, just like Patrick."

There was a silent moment in the whole gym.

"You go, girl! Show her!" Alicia happily shouted.

"Yes, honay!" Moboa happily shouted and applauded.

Everyone, besides the other two cheerleaders, loudly and proudly cheered for Barbara, against Patricia. Coach Walter proudly cried and applauded Barbara for standing up for herself.

Patricia glared at Barbara and then smacked her, before stumping off and crying. The crowd went quiet in shock, proving that Barbara was telling the truth.

Because of this, Patricia decided to watch her back.

Monday, December 17th. That morning.

Barbara even stopped being cool with Terrell, once he wanted to be buddy with her. A fake person reminds her of Teresa from daycare, which still traumatizes her.

Thursday, December 20th

This evening.

Tonight is the Winter Concert. The band, the school choir, and the orchestra will be performing Christmas Carols for the holidays in the auditorium. A lot of families show up before 6:30, when the concert starts. The first group performing are behind the curtains.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Palm Trees Senior High's Winter Concert's Fourteenth Anniversary!" Ms. Clark happily announces, and everyone gives her a standing ovation. "Like always in all three of our private schools since 1998, we have the most brilliant and amazing talented music star artists in our Music program! Please welcome Palm Trees Senior High's marching band and singer, Caryn Manners!"

Everyone cheers the band on as the curtains reveal the band. There are Patthew, China, Ryan and the rest of the school band in their band suits. Mrs. Brooks is standing in front of them with her music book and stick. They play "Twelve Days of Christmas", "Seasons of Love" and "Jingle Bells" while Caryn Manners sings each song along.
