CHAPTER ONE
December 24th… 4:00pm
8 hours to Christmas…
All of us were given the holidays off work with pay, and nobody believed it when it happened but, we all had the exact same thing planned for Christmas.
Our family's had all rented all the cabins in the mountains for a wonderful Christmas holiday. This meant that we would all be spending Christmas together.
We were even allowed to bring our dates along with us, and all of them accepted gracefully. We all had a feeling this was going to be the best Christmas ever.
All we had to do now was wait for our family's to come and pick us up, but to pass the time. We, The Band of Seven, and all our dates were hanging out at the skating rink where Jonsey was working and got a staff discount for Skating hours.
"Oh yeah, skate that ice baby." He said over the rink's Pa system.
Nikki kept on trying to persuade Jonsey to join her. "Come on Jonesy, I've gotten better, Really." She said.
Jonsey eventually gave into her, laced up his skates and headed onto the rink, leaving his station completely unmanned.
Jude, and Star skated arm in arm up the rink. Serena was playfully playing tag with Wyatt. "Come on Wyatt, a skating turtle can catch me." She teased.
"We'll see about that." said Wyatt as he skated on trying to catch his girlfriend.
Amelie however was the most graceful on the ice, a lot of boys from the mall drooled over the sight of her as she pirouetted on the ice.
Too bad for them she was already taken by me, Mykan. I wasn't as good as Amelie was on the ice, but at least I could still skate with her side-bye-side.
Caitlin and Jen, since they didn't have dates jut had fun together. "I am so psyched about our Christmas together in the mountains." Caitlin said.
"I know…" said Jen. "It'll be so nice to get away from work for a while and not hear Coach Halder shout out-"
"MASTERSON!"
The sudden sound of Coach's voice made Jen jump, causing her to slip and fall. "Ooh… that smarts." She moaned while rubbing her butt. "Coach what did I do wrong now? I'm not even at the Penalty Box."
"Nothing really." Coach said a little more calmly. "I just wanted to tell you I'm headed off now and I wanted to wish you like all my employees a Happy Holiday."
Jen suddenly felt stupid. "Uh… okay."
"So… Happy Holiday's, Masterson. Don't take up any wooden-igloos." Coach said and he left."
"That sure felt weird." said Jen.
There weren't many people left on the rink which gave us much more room to skate and show off, after all, we had plenty of time to wait until our rides came
