It was Christmas vacation. My sister Ashley, Lily, Angela, Rachel, Topanga, Sierra, Kerri, Isabella, Claire, june, Stacey, linda, ian, lorelei, Mr. Feeny and myself were all sitting in the living room of our snowy house that cold winter day waiting for my mom and Eric, Cory, Hannah and josh, Angela's dad Mr. Moore, Leo, Shawn, Shawn's brother Jack and Charlotte to get back from Christmas tree shopping. Mom and Eric came home carrying a giant Christmas tree. Mr Moore, Shawn, Cory, Jack and Leo helped get the tree in the front door. Ashley went up to our room to change. Hannah and Josh bounded into the living room ahead of the green top of the tree.
"We got a Christmas tree!" Hannah said.
"And they're letting all the snow in!" Charlotte cried.
Which they were now that the door was opened.
"I know I saw," I said.
"Alrite everyone stand back," Mom said.
Mr. Feeny, Angela, Rachel, Topanga, Lily, Sierra, Kerri and I stood all the way by the dining room. Eric, Shawn, Cory, Jack, Leo and Mr. Moore helped carry the tree in and put it on the stand between the front door and the stairs. Cory then closed the door. Mom, Eric, Hannah, Josh, Hannah, Mr. Moore, Leo, Shawn, Jack and Charlotte took off their coats, hats, gloves and scarves. They stuffed their hats and gloves into the pockets of their coats and put their coats and scarves on the tall, dark wood coat stand by the front door.
"Hi Amy hi Mr. Matthews," Topanga said.
Mom went to hug Topanga.
Topanga hadn't yet seen my mom that day.
"Hi Topanga. It's so nice to see you.
Isabella, mom's girlfriend, greeted Cory; "hi Cory."
"Hi Isabella."
"Amy, Isabella, hello," Mr. Feeny said.
"Hi George," Mom said.
"We have cookies and hot chocolate waiting in the kitchen," Angela said.
She and Topanga had made it earlier.
Mom looked at her; "oh that would be lovely Angela."
Angela and Topanga exited through the kitchen.
Mom and Eric sat down on the couch while Hannah sat on the chair that Angela had been sitting in previously and Josh sat in the chair Mr. Moore had been sitting in previously. The rest of us stood.
"How was New York?" Mom asked Cory.
He and Topanga lived there.
"Ok. Really busy at this time of year though."
"Yeah I would imagine."
Angela brought in a small tray of mugs with hot chocolate in them from the kitchen, with Topanga behind her carrying a tray of cookies. They set the trays down on the low, dark wood coffee table in front of the couch.
"I have some news for you all," mom said.
"So I heard," I said.
Id heard this earlier.
Mom turned to look up the stairs.
"Ashley honey come downstairs your mom has news!" Isabella called.
"Ok!" Ashley called back.
A few minutes later she bounded down the stairs and into the living room. She placed herself primly on the floor. Topanga, Angela, Jack, Rachel, Kerri, Lily, Sierra, Charlotte, Shawn, Cory, Leo and I were also sitting on the floor. Topanga and Cory were sitting together, as were Shawn and Lily, Jack and Rachel and Leo and I. Mr. Feeny and Mr. Moore were all standing.
"Well, now that we're all here," mom said; "I can finally tell you my news."
We looked at him expectantly.
"A few days ago, I went house hunting because I decided that this house is too small for 7 people to live in, myself included. And, I know that a lot of you want your own rooms."
"Well, I found a new house, some distance away. Amy and I looked it over and we liked it."
"But who's going to live here?" Ashley asked.
She meant the house we were living in now.
"Topanga and Cory can, when they visit. After all, Cory did grow up here."
"Ashley, you'll be able to practice your ballet there and you won't have to change ballet schools. No one else will have to change schools, either. Morgan, we have plenty of guest bedrooms so your friends can stay over. Eric, you finally get to have your own room," Mom told us.
We were all very excited by this news.
Shawn and angela looked at each other:
"um wow hi. What are you doing here?" he ased surprised.
"I came to visit. I don't think I should be w/ hakeem."
"you came all the way from over there?"
"yeah."
"wow."
I wasn't sure who hakeem was or where 'over there' was. I knew that shawn had come back from somewhere awhile ago.
