3rd person POV:
*In the Art Room*
"We're stuck in here forever?" Amber asked looking at me with sad eyes.
"Until the roads clear out yes." Nina calmly replied hugging her as she sighed... All she wanted is to be home for Christmas.
"Cheer up. We have each other for the holidays!" Mara cheered brightly trying to make people happy.
"Okay..." Joy groaned putting her circle rings together.
"C'mon guys! It is Christmas time! What do you guys usually do for Christmas?" Jason energetically asked them.
"Well... In America, my Gran and I always picked out a real tree and the farmer would bring it in for us. We dressed it up in all these old-fashioned ornaments and those big old rainbow ones that heat up when lite. We always gave each other one present and then spent the rest of the day with a bunch of people from the senior center handing out cookies and caroling." Nina told them smiling remembering their last Christmas. "In addition we watched 25 days of Christmas ABC Family." She inserted.
"Wow! I love watching that! My favorite one is 'Rudolf's Shiny New Year'. The baby is sooo cute." Amber rejoiced to them.
"No Elf is definitely the best! Plus Zoey is soo hot." Jerome exclaimed smirking.
"I like Mean Girls." Joy injected making every silent and turn to her.
"Is that even a Christmas movie?" Fabian questioned looking at her.
"Well they have a Christmas talent show!" She retorted back blushing as his blue eyes gazed into hers for a split second.
"That's my favorite part!" Amber cut in again as always.
"White Christmas is a very good movie..." Patricia spoke out.
"What?" Alfie asked not eve hearing of the movie.
"It's a Christmas classic. Two war veterans own their own TV Musical show and end up meeting these two girls. They decide to go to Vermont for the girls show. A sight to see." Jason joined in backing up Patricia.
"My Gran loves that movie. My favorite song is 'I'll be home for Christmas'. Fabian, Do you still have your guitar?" Nina asked wanting to show them a song from the movie.
"Yeah, I left it in the Drama room. Let's take the decorations there since they are done." Fabian responded picking up his strand of those Christmas rings.
*In the Drama room*
"This looks soo pretty!" Amber squealed as Alfie hung hers up. They all fit around the room. Even mistletoe at the front of the door. Of course, one Alfie made a crappy paper.
"Anything else?" Mara asked pondering over if they left anything.
"Fabian and I will go check." Joy answered.
As they, both walked out in unison they ended up under the mistletoe.
"Fabian's under the mistletoe with Joy Now they have to kiss!" Amber shouted pointing at the couple as joy blushed.
"Uh..." Fabian started to speak but got cut off by Joy who kissed his lips out of know where. They broke off as Fabian stood there shocked.
Nina looked away in disgust and jealousy. It should have been her and Fabian. Why didn't she think of that? He probably liked it. Joy has always liked Fabian. She should be happy for them. If Joy makes Fabian happy, that is all that matters. Right?
"Oooh..." Patricia started as Nina stared at her with fire burning in her eyes.
Joy and Fabian left as Joy awkwardly looked at Fabian,
"Well... that was..." Fabian started to say but got lost.
"Nice." Joy finished for him looking into his eyes.
"Look Joy... You're a really great girl and all... but my heart belongs to someone else." Fabian told her trying to not look in her eyes.
"I know... Nina... But what about what happened before she came... Didn't you..." Joy spoke to him. A few days before Joy disappeared. Joy and Fabian were on a study date. yes a study date. "Fabian...? Is this supposed to be a date? Because it's not a very good one." Joy expressed closing her book. "Well... No? If you want to, we could go on a date. I would really like to study for this French Test coming up." Fabian responded shyly replying. "How bout after the test. Promise?" Joy asked. "Well..." Fabian started to say. "You have 5 minutes then I want to hear a pin drop!" Victor yelled. "You better leave before you get in trouble..." Fabian informed leading her outside. "Think about my offer at least..." Joy whispered pecking his cheek and leaving.
"I know... But I need time to figure of my feelings. I like Nina and I may still like you... But I do not know where my heart belongs. Give me time okay?" He asked hoping she would understand. It was always Joy and Fabian... Everyone thought that. Then Nina came and Joy left. Nina was as an angel sent from heaven above. The perfect girl. Whoever new she existed. And she liked him back. Was it that hard? Everything he wanted was right there? He could never get up the courage to ask out a girl. That's why ne never asked out Joy. Plus he never felt that spark that he felt with Nina. He and Nina were perfectly perfect. But still he can't break Joy's heart. He doesn't know where his heart belongs. He needed to find out soon. Before both girls leave.
"Okay... But I'll be waiting. If you don't figure out soon. You might lose us both." Joy responded leaving him alone in the hallway. Fabian walked in a few seconds after her.
"Fabian can you play 'I'll be home for Christmas' on your guitar? I wanna show them what they are missing." Nina asked sitting on the edge of the drama stage.
"Sure..." Fabian grabbed his case and pulled out the acoustic wooden guitar. Sitting next to Nina, he placed the strap around his shoulder.
I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know, it's a long road back
I promise you
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have some snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree
Christmas eve will find you
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have some snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Finished up the song their eyes met. A longing look they have both desired for a while. Even if it was just a few maar seconds. It felt like forever to them. Fabian didn't want to look away. He wanted it to last a lifetime. Was this the sign he was waiting for? He was drawn to her by some magical force. Closer and closer, they got. Nina felt like no one else was in the room. Now was the chance.
"Eh hem... You were good Nina." Joy intertupted making sure they weren't about to kiss. It looked like it. It was a pain. She was good real good. Perfect actually. She could never have a chance against that. Time for Plan Xterminate. Which was break up the happy couple.
"Nina who knew you could sing?" Amber asked, sitting next to her, and putting an arm around her best friend.
"I didn't know either. Fabian's guitar skills really helped out." Nina boasted.
"Well you were amazing with or without my guitar." Fabian told her grabbing her hand.
"Thanks..." she replied trying not to look at him. This was awkward already it didn't need to be more.
"I really wanna see the movie now. It seems amazing." Mara exclaimed.
"Let's see if it's on the TV!" Amber shouted stealing the remote.

"Oh look Home Alone 2!" Alfie shouted pointing
"No! That movie scares me..." Amber retorted

"Hey isn't that the one movie? Holiday and Handcuffs. Melissa is amazing in that." Patricia injected.
"Plus Mario Lopez is soo hot!" Amber added on.
"I'd like to bake cookies on that guy." Joy joined in staring at the tan guy on the screen.
"I'm way hotter than this guy. No doubt. Anyone want to bake cookies on me. I'm open!" Jerome boasted smirking at the ladies.
"Nah... they might get burnt." Mara replied smirking back.
"That was only..." Jerome says as he counts with his fingers. "7 times! And one was an accident!"
"We are not watching this... It's soo lame..." Mick pointed out groaning.
"Why don't we go make some popcorn Mick? I know the teachers' lounge has some we could use." Mara asked hoping to pull him away from the crowd.
"Sure... Anything but this." Mick stated. Rushing out to her in the hallway. "Thanks... I really don't want watch a movie with a bunch of girls screaming about how hot Mario Loserpez is."
"Jealous?" Mara asked poking him in fun.
"Never. They should be jealous since I'm with such a pretty girl" Mick responded walking down the hallway that leaded to the cafeteria.
"That's why I asked you to join... I have been meaning to talk about us." Mara told him stopping at the teachers' lounge quickly grabbing a few bags.
SWOOSH
"That was odd…" She whispered to herself as she left the lounge. "What were we talking about?"
"We were talking about us. What about us? I thought we decided it was best for us to move on." Mick sighed hoping they would have a second chance.
"Spending time with Jerome made me realize that I missed you. Being around other guys won't do me any go. I just want a second chance to make things right. And if we don't work out maybe it isn't meant to be." Mara cried out to him unleashing all of her emotions to him. She gave him her heart and he could do whatever he pleases with it.
"I'm so sorry Mara. I didn't mean to yell at you and start a fight last time. I swear this time I have learned from my mistakes. I'm a changed man. You will see." He calmly told her picking her up and kissing her on the lips passionately.
"Put me down!" Mara screamed as he kept spinning her around.
"Let's go make that popcorn." Mick whispered putting an arm around her.
