Ox... Freddy ... POV

I followed them, no, that's a very harsh word: follow. I sort of, hmm, trailed them. I was in the train car right behind them. That woman was Katie! Boy has she changed! A LOT! Not that I like her or anything, I guess. I'm still really confused, just about me. Now, after seeing Katie I think I might be Bi now. GEEZ! Why is everything so confusing? I hate this life.

"Marta? Where have you been? I've been worried sick!" Mrs. Hale called to Marta from the kitchen as Marta burst in, "You're never home. I'm sad, and scared that I'm losing you. Ever since you met that Chad guy, you're never- MARTA! COME HERE!" Mrs. Hale yelled at Marta. Marta grumbled under her breath. She threw off her jacket and pulled down her very large sweater.

"Marta, is there something wrong? It's Christmas tonight. Are you staying home?"

"I don't think so..."

Marta, your Dad's coming into town, he wants to see you. I mean, he REALLY wants to see you. That's why he's coming."

"I'll stop by and say hi, that'll satisfy him alright." Marta laughed sarcastically.

"Marta, you know how much this means--- what the hell are you wearing? That's a huge sweater. Is that mine?"

"No, of course not. I'm going." Marta hurried off into her room and slammed the door.

"I dunno, something with Summer I guess."

"How bout, let's hang out in the dorm?"

"Sure, I guess."

"kay."

"Night"

"Ditto"

Xo... Katie ... POV

The more I think of him, the worse it gets. Every time I look at him, it's like fire burning deep down inside me, something that I just want to let loose. It's horrible. I do think he's catching on though. I'll ask him tonight, cuze it's Christmas! My favorite! Summer's calling me, she always needs something!

..end..

There was almost no moon on December 25th. Katie, Zack, and Summer sat on the coach in front of the fireplace in the dorm's common area. They all clutched a mug of steaming hot cocoa.

"It's snowing!" said Zack, getting up.

"Really?" Summer exclaimed and lept up to be besides Zack. Katie scowled under her breath.

"Merry Christmas," Katie whispered, apparently to no one but herself... But Summer heard.

"Merry Christmas to you too!" Summer squealed.

Katie got up.

"Summer, I really think you should go back to your dorm, I think they're missing you." Katie said, as serious as possible.

Summer didn't say anything, she smiled at Zack and was out the door.

"What'da do that for?" Zack asked.

"Zack?"

"What?" Zack said, annoyed.

"I love you! I'm yours, take me!"

"I'm sorry?" Zack responded, dumbfounded.

"Just hold me, and don't let go," Katie whispered into his ear and hugged Zack.

"Katie? I've always been madly in love with you!" Zack laughed.

"Don't talk, just touch." Katie whispered into his ear.

They kissed, they kissed with such furor that they were soon running into things, but totally oblivious. It was getting pretty steamy when Katie slammed the door shut with her foot.

xX... OK, OK, I know. Don't harass me about it. ...xX
