One week...one more week I cannot believe it is nearly Christmas

Hope you enjoy this chapter xx

School was over and everyone was in Mal and Evies dorm ready to hand out and receive their secret Santa's.

"Okay so who wants to open theirs first?" Lonnie asked as they sat in a circle on the ground.

"Can I go first?" Carlos asked nervously, everyone nodded and he grabbed the gift with his name on.

Opening the paper carefully, his eyes opened wide as he saw what he got.

"Awesome," Carlos said in glee.

"What is it?" Jay asked as he looked over at the gift.

"It's a tracker you can put in things that you want to find easily, I am so gonna put this on Dudes collar," Carlos said smiling. "Who got this for me?"

"I did, I know how much you love Dude and I know that Dude likes to wonder off sometimes, so this way you will always find him," Chad said.

"Thanks Chad," Carlos said.

"Okay I'm next," Audrey said as she took hers from the pile. "Wow, it's gorgeous, I think I know who this flies from,"

"Who?" Lonnie asked curiously.

"Evie," Audrey said smiling.

"Yeah, I made everyone else nice Christmas jumpers and although you wanted an ugly one, I wanted to make you a nice one," Evie said shyly.

"Thank you, I love it," Audrey said putting the jumper on. The jumper was red with white snowflakes around the collar and a Christmas design around the chest.

"Okay I'm next," Doug said opening his present.

Doug opened his present tearing the paper in half.

"Oooh, The History Of Magic and it's Attribute's," Doug said reading the book title, Doug had wanted this book for ages but every time he had gone to buy it, it had been sold out. "Thank you whoever's got this for me, thank you, who got this for me so I can give you a hug?"

"I did, I knew how much you wanted it, and I saw it and here we are...oh love you to Doug," Jane said as Doug gave her a hug, se hugged him back chuckling slightly.

"Mal you wannabe go next?" Chad asked as he moved some wrapping paper to the side.

"Sure," Mal said as she picked up her present, staring at it for a few moments before tearing at the first corner. Once the paper was gone she was greeted with a snow globe with a beautiful dragon on the inside and the base had carvings of castles and dragons around the side.

"It's beautiful," Mal said after a moment of staring at it. "I love it, who...who?" Mal tried to ask but couldn't get the words out.

"I did," Audrey said, thankful that Mal liked it.

"Thank you," Mal said giving her a hug which was returned.

"Benny boo, you're up," Evie said handing him his present.

Ben opened his present, slowly as everyone stared at him in anticipation, once opened Ben put the paper aside and looked at what he had got.

"No way, a bobble head me," Ben said laughing.

"And better looking," Mal joked.

"Who got this for me?" Ben asked as he laughed.

"Yours truly," Jay said as he laughed.

"Thanks man," Ben said as he and Jay high fived.

"Jane you're up next," Mal said as she passed Jane her present.

Jane tore of the wrapping paper tossing it aside as she stared wide eyed at her gift.

"This is soo cool," Jane said as she held up her present which was an avacado cushion.

"Awe, that is so cute," Evie said as she saw what Jane got.

"Look at its little face," Lonnie said.

"Thank you to whoever got this for me," Jane said, noticing Ben holding his hand up. "Ben?"

"Guilty, I know you like avocado's and when I saw it in the store, I knew it was the perfect gift for you," Ben said, happy that Jane liked it.

"I'm next," Chad said eagerly as he took his present from the pile tearing the wrapping paper off in record speed.

"Chad come on," Audrey said laughing at how slow Chad was opening his present.

"Sorry I couldn't resist," Chad said as he started to open his present at a faster speed.

"What is it?" Carlos asked as Chad threw his paper to the side.

"Socks, with my face on them," Chad said with no expression. "Who got these for me?"

"I...I did," Lonnie said, wondering if Chad liked them or not.

"Where did you find these?" Chad said his voice wobbling slightly. "Because these are awesome," He said as he burst out laughing.

"I saw them in Royals of Royals, I thought you didn't like them for a second," Lonnie said, releasing a breath she didn't know she was holding as Chad hugged her.

"Sorry, I wanted to see what your reaction would be it was hard to keep a straight face, thank you," Chad said as he released Lonnie from the hug and sat back down.

"Jay my man, you're up," Ben said, giving Jay his present.

"Okay," Jay said as he began to tear at the paper. "Oooh a box," Jay said as he opened the box up.

"What's inside?" Evie asked.

"A Shrek mug," Jay said happily. "I love this so much, I love Shrek so much, thank you thank you," Jay said.

"Glad you like it," Doug said.

"Thank youuu," Jay said as he gave Doug a hug.

"You're welcome man," Doug said.

"Lonnie," Jay said as he handed her gift to her till holding his mug.

"Okay," Lonnie said, as she started to unwrap her present.

"Top trumps?" Carlos said in a questioning tone.

"Yeah, top trumps are a card game you can play with two or more people, they come in themes like sports teams, movies and TV shows and they have a list of categories that is different depending on the pack and the person with the highest score on their card of the chosen category gets everyone else's and the last person with the cards wins," Lonnie said.

"Cool, so what pack did you get?" Mal asked.

"Marvel," Lonnie said happily. "Thank you, who got me this?"

"I did," Carlos said quietly.

"Thanks," Lonnie said as she gave him a hug.

"Now Evie you're next," Ben said as he handed the final gift to her.

"Thanks," Evie said as she started to tear the paper off. Once the paper was off Evie pushed it aside as she admired her gift. "It's beautiful," Evie said as she held up the necklace with a simple blue drop in the middle.

"Wow, that's gorgeous," Audrey said.

"Who...?" Evie asked as she smiled.

"I did," Mal said, Evie turned to her smiling and gave her a hug.

"Thanks, Mal who would have thought you had an eye for Jewlery," Evie joked. "But really thank you,"

Once all the paper was tidied away and everyone had got themselves a hot chocolate, Jay using his new mug, they all sat down to play top trumps.

I hope you liked it...wanted to end it with them playing top trumps that game made up the bus journey to swim practice when I was at school seriously like played it across several seats and if someone else brought a pack we played it on the way back...any way i do not own marvel top trumps or any pack anymore so i couldn't really delve into the game as much as i wanted because i don't know what the categories would be and the scores so I left it to be imagined.

I owned a bratz pack it smelt like chocolate for some reason from the day I brought it, I love how top trumps is still going.
