What Life Would Be Like- A Christmas Story

My life couldn't get any worse. You ask why? There's not much I could say, 'cuz no one talks to me (except Zack). I get bullied, called mean names, and I'm beat up. I wonder what life would be like if I wasn't a 5'4" guy with blonde, spikey hair. I couldn't even go anywhere without getting laughed at or bullied. So, I resorted to what Zack had said- going with him as my bodyguard everywhere.

"What's with the bodyguard, loser?"

"Shut up, Jared!" I screamed.

"Don't listen to them, Cloud. That's what we all do. If you don't listen to them, they'll ignore you and you them." Zack said.

"I'll try, Zack." With that, we got to the training rooms and I saw Angeal in the room.

"Hello, Cloud."

"Hi, Angeal. How are you today?"
"I'm fine. You?"

"Same here."

"Okay. Let's get our training started. Please?" Zack asked. When Angeal nodded, we started our training.

As Zack and I got to our room, something punched me in the face.

"Are you okay, Cloud?"

"I'm fine, Zack. Something hit me. I don't know what it was, though. Can you please turn on the lights?" I asked. When Zack did, I couldn't believe my eyes. What I saw in our room was Christmas lights and our friends.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS, CLOUD!" My friends yelled. I just got emotional, so I couldn't say anything.

"*Sniffle*. Thanks, guys. I don't actually know what to say."

"Say Merry Christmas, duh." Genesis retorted.

"Fine, Gen. Merry Christmas to all of you. When did this happen?"
"We did it while you, Zack, and Angeal were training. Both Zack and Angeal knew about it. It was actually Zack's idea to throw you a Christmas party." Sephiroth said.

"Awwwww. Thanks Zack. You too, Angeal."
"You're welcome, Mr. Emotional."
"Zack…" Angeal warned. Zack whimpered and hid behind me. Everyone snickered at him.

"Hey! Don't laugh at me! I don't like being laughed at or scolded." Zack yelled. After the party was over, we all went to bed.
