Drabble #38: New Year's Eve

11:34, read the clock. I sighed. Thick flakes fell from the winter sky and a cold breeze swirled, causing the trees to howl. I sat alone, in my room. I sighed. 'It's New Year's Eve Patricia, you should be doing something fun...' My mind wanders. But unfortunately, I was spending it alone. Well, semi-alone. I could be downstairs, along with everyone else. But I decided to stay up here.

I grabbed my iPhone, and began listening to music. In my opinion, New Years wasn't that big of a deal to me. We just celebrate the new month. Happens 12 times a year, don't know why it's so important. I suddenly feel one of my earbuds rip out of my ear. "Hey!" I scowl. I looks up. "Oh, it's you."

"Yeah, it's me. What are you doing?" My blonde-haired boyfriend asks. I roll my eyes.

"What does it look like I'm doing? Eating a hippo?" I ring. He laughs.

"No, Yacker. I just wanted to know why you're being a loner and staying up here away from everyone." He teases. I scoff. "Seriously, why?"

"I don't know." I shrug. "New Years is boring. So I might as well stay up here."

"Alright, c'mon, we're going downstairs." He says, grabbing my wrist. I groan.

"Do I-"

"Yep." He answers. I throw my head back, but agreeably follow him. I glance at the time: 11:48. I bite my lip.

"What are we doing?" I whisper.

"Right now? Not much."

"You make no sense, I hope you know that." I remind him. He chuckles. He hands me a piece of chocolate that I eventually begin to nibble on. I eventually give up and let the sweet taste melt in my mouth.

"Hey you guys! The countdowns starting!" Mara calls, as we all gather in the common room.

"60...59...58...57...56..." Everyone begins to chant.

"I am so not wasting my breathe on this". I mutter. Eddie pops a smile.

"10...9...8..." I roll my eyes. "4...3...2...1... HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Everyone screams, and balloons begin to pop, and confetti behind to fly.

"You know what happens at midnight, right?" Eddie asks. I give him a confused look. He smirks, then carefully brings his lips to mine. I smile into the kiss, as glitter floats down over us. We pull apart, and he whispers: "Happy New Year."
