"Don't tell Lisa about me,though."Duchy said to his parents after they finally let go of him.They both gave him confused looks.He sighed and pushed them away.
"I don't want her to know.As far as I'm concerned,I never met you until the other day.This is my life now.My friends here are my family.I just wanted to know if yout wo were who I thought you were.That's the only reason why I even confronted you today."
Mr. and Mr.s Holfield looked down at the floor and nodded their heads."Hey look,I'm not trying to be rude or anything,but I don't need your hospitality anymore.I can take care of myself."And with that,Duchy walked away from them and back to his room.
~Outside~
Itey smiled as Sunshine made her way towards him.She was going to be leaving in a few hours to go wait for her aunt at the airport.This would be the last time that he would be able to see her in a few days.
She gave him a peck on the cheek,making him smile."So uh,why did you want to talk to me out here?"he asked her as they made their way towards the school's privet park.They sat down on one of the benches as Sunshine took out a small box.
"I got you something...it's not the best thing in the world,but hopefully yuo like it..."She said as she handed him the box.Itey's eyes widened as he slowly tore off the wrapping,but before he actually opened it,he stopped and looked her in the eye.
"I've never gotten a real Christmas present."Sunshine raised her eyebrow and scooted a little closer to him."You haven't?Why?"Itey sighed and set the box down,still un-opened."I grew up in New York with some of the rest of the boys here.None of us have real parents.We're all orphans who sold newspapers on the streets for a living.The only reason why they sent us here was probably to get rid of us..."
Sunshine put her arm around him and said,"But that still doesn't tell me why you've never had a Christmas present.You see,I'm an orphan,too.Well,sort of.My mother died at childbirth and my father dispwned me,so I had to move in with my aunt.We still gave each other Christmas presents,though.Why didn't you?"
Itey sighed and ran his hand through his unbrushed hair."We all lived in this old lodging house and we had to pay two cents a room each night.It may not sound like much,but when all you make is about $5 a day,then those two cents look awfully friendly to spend on food and clothes..."Sunshine pecked him on the cheek,again and said,"You poor thing.Well,if you want,you can come spend Christmas with me and my aunt tomorrow."
Itey's eyes lit up,but quickly became seldom again."I don't want to intrude on yuor holiday,so I'll just stay here with the guys.We all got real jobs now so I had enough money to buy you something,too."He pulled a small box out from his pocket and put it in Sunshine's hand.
She gave him a tight hug before wripping the newspaper wrapping off.She slowly removed the lid and gasped.Her eyes lit up with joy as he smiled and took it out.She held her hand out as he slowly tied the golden braclet around her wrist.
~StarBucks~
Swinger and Snitch took their cups of coffe and went to look for a seat.Swinger's family would be there in about an hour or so,and she was still a little nervous about them meeting Snitch.She had never really introduced them to any of her boyfriends.She had no idea how they would react.Especially her father.
Snitch sighed as he saw that Swinger was in really deep thought.He set his hand ontop of hers,making her come back from her daydream."You ok?"Swinger made a fake smile and nodded,taking another sip from her cup.
Snitch smiled and put his hand back in his pocket."Good,cause I got you a little something."Swinger raised her eyebrow as Snitch pulled out an envelope out from his jacket.This took Swinger rather by suprise,which made her want to open it even more.
He held it up in the air and said,"But you can't open it until tomorrw!Those are the rules!"Swinger frowned and tried to take it from him,making him reach higher above her.The two stopped when they realized that they were creating a scene.
~Big Bear Lake~
Bumlets and Cutie had been going over to the lake every weekend to go iceskating.She had been teaching him as much as she could for the past few weeks now,and he was gradually getting better.They stopped to catch their breaths by a group of trees by the lake.
Cutie sat down and took her skates off."This feels much better.My feet are killing me!"Bumlets laughed and went to remove his,too.As he slipped the second one off,he made a suprised face and picked something really small and shinny off of the ground.
"I wonder what this is?"Cutie raised her eyebrow and held her hand out."Let me see.Maybe I can figer it out."Bumlets grinned and closed his hand over the tiny shiny object."Oh,you don't want to see this.It's so old and dirty."Cutie frowned and tried to take it from him."Oh come on!Let me see!"Bumlets smiled and stuck it into his pocket."You can see it tomorrow."
~At the Ski Lift~
Ershey and Skittery bothed looked over the edge as they raised higher and higher to the top of the mountain.Skittery had finally convinced Ershey to go with him up the mountain,one last time before her brother and BOTH of her parents arrived.This was going to be her first Christmas with her whole family there since her parents devorced.
Skittery was doing his best not to show that he was upset about not being able to spend Christmas with her.She had clearly stated that she wanted to be with her family for the holidays,so she wouldn't be able to see him for a few days.He sighed and thought to himself,'I guess I'll just have to stay with the rest of the guys...That is,if they're not already gone with their girls...'
Ershey smiled as she slid off and waited for Skittery at the edge."Ok,so after this you said that you'd drive me to the airport,remember?"Skittery nodded and gave her a little nudge,pushing her over the edge with a scream.He laughed and followed her down.
