IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Ugh, I can buy a perfect gift for a girl, but why is it so hard to find a guy a gift?" Elyon exclaimed.

Tuesday, week one. When everyone woke up that morning and looked out their window, everything was covered in white. It had snowed during the night and everything was covered with a thin sheet of snow and snow was still falling. Despite the snow, everyone was out shopping to get gifts for the Secret Santa thing. The girls went with the girls and the guys went with the guys.

"I know, but I didn't get it so hard; everyone knows that Martin has always wanted that wireless controller for his game", Will stated.

"Hey Will, are you gonna get Matt something?", Cornelia asked with a grin.

"Oh…yeah, I am", Will blushed.

"Aw! This is gonna be so cute! I love the holidays", Hay Lin sighed.

The girls passed by the electronic store, which is where they said good-bye to Will.

"Did anyone get Will here?" Irma asked.

"I did; I sorta have an idea on what to get her. What do you guys think of the frog from Hello Kittie? It's so adorable. I was thinking of getting her a stuffed frog of that one", Hay Lin smiled.

"Oh yeah! I love that frog. I think Will is gonna love it cause she's in love with frogs", Taranee agreed.

"You girls got it easy; I don't know what to get Caleb" Cornelia complained.

"Skateboard" they all said in unison.

"Skateboard?" Cornelia asked with a puzzled look.

"Yeah, Caleb loves skateboards! He's been complaining to us how much he's been wanting one for some time now", Elyon said.

"Hm, never would've thought. Thanks", Cornelia smiled.

"No problem, Corny", Irma said.

Cornelia crossed her arms and glared playfully at her.

"Sorry…'Cornelia'", Irma smiled nervously.

Cornelia nodded and laughed with the girls.

"Ok, Cornelia, this is where you stop. Here's the skateboard shop. Good luck", Elyon winked.

"Uh…thanks. So we meet at the ice cream store?" Cornelia assured herself.

"Yuppers. See ya!" Hay Lin waved hyperly and walked away with the rest of the remaining girls.

Cornelia grabbed hold of her jacket and went inside the skateboard shop.

On the other side of the shopping area…

Caleb, Alex, and Matt were the only ones left shopping. The rest were in the stores buying stuff for the Secret Santa.

"Hmmm…what should I get Will? It has to be really special", Matt asked the two boys.

"How am I supposed to know? I don't know what girls like; that's why I'm having trouble getting Cornelia a present", Caleb stuffed his hands in his pockets.

"Matt, you get Will a stuffed animal; probably one with a heart on it or something. And Caleb, you get Cornelia any kind of jewlery; preferably earings. She collects them", Alex grinned.

The two boys stared at Alex surprised.

"Dude…how do you know Cornelia collects earings?" Caleb asked, a little freaked out.

"Come on, she's hot. How would I not know? And also the fact that Elyon told me", Alex grinned wider.

Caleb glared at him unconciously. Alex and Matt gasped and smiled wide at him. Caleb realized that he was glaring and quickly looked down.

"I sense some jealously. You think she's hot don't you!" Alex pointed at Caleb as he and Matt laughed their heads off.

"I never said that! I was glaring cause I know you like Elyon", Caleb quickly said.

"I know, I was kidding. I was just wondering what your reaction would be cause we know you like her. But whatever, now go buy her something, dude", Alex pushed Caleb to a random shop and he walked away with Matt.

Caleb blushed, realizing what he just did. He shook his head and looked up, looking for a jewlery shop. Instead of finding a jewlery shop, he saw the skateboard shop. He decided to go check out the skateboards from the window. He looked at the window at a skateboard and the price.

"Aw man! Forty bucks? They used to be like twenty! Ugh…I guess I'll wait till I get a summer job or something…", Caleb pouted sadly and stuffed his hands in his pockets again.

He bowed his head to the snow and started to walk away from the shop. As he walked past the door to the shop, someone opened the door and accidently bumped into him; causing the two to fall on the cold snow.

"Oww! Why don't you-Caleb?" Cornelia stood up and brushed the snow off her pants. "No wonder, hmph!" Cornelia walked away angrily. He can forget the skateboard.

Caleb turned his head to see her walking away. He looked at the door to the skateboard shop. Why was she coming out from here? Hm…That was odd, Caleb thought. He was about to get up when something shiny on the ground where Cornelia fell caught his eye. He got up and brushed the snow off of him. He grabbed the shiny object and looked at it closely.

"A snowflake charm…must be Corneli-" Caleb lost his voice. He dropped the snow-flake charm.

"I'm moving tomorrow, Caleb"

Caleb stood there in complete shock, his hand still outstretched and his mouth opened.

"I know, that's why I'm giving you my lucky charm. It's a promise that we'll see each other again"

"It…it can't be", Caleb breathed. He slowly brought his arm to his side and looked at the charm he dropped.

"Ok, I promise I'll never forget you"

Caleb picked it up again.

"I'll never forget you either…"

"I gave this to her…", Caleb started to walk around town, staring at the charm. Anyone could have bought it, it's just a coincidence…but Cornelia did tell me she moved away…she can't be!

Later in the Penthouse…

Caleb bought a pair of earings for Cornelia that thought suited her sort of person and went back to the penthouse. Everyone was in the living room looking extremely gloomy. Not only did he notice that, but also that there was one person missing.

"Hey guys…where's Cornelia?" Caleb asked

"Upstairs…" Taranee sighed.

"What happened?" Caleb asked, standing where the group was sitting.

"I don't know…she keeps crying that something is lost", Elyon sighed with Taranee.

"She'll probably feel better in the morning", Caleb shrugged.

Irma immediatley stood up and glared angrily at him. Caleb stared suprisingly. Irma walked up to him and had fists by her sides.

"You are the most SELFISH BOY IN THIS WHOLE WORLD! I KNOW YOU DON'T GET ALONG WITH HER, BUT CAN YOU BE ANY MORE RUDE! I HOPE SHE DOESN'T FORGIVE YOU, CAUSE I'M NOT!", Irma yelled in his face and stormed upstairs with Hay Lin and Elyon.

Caleb stared in shock at nothing in particular.

"Dude, that was really harsh", Eric stared at Caleb in disbelief.

"Well she's always mean to me"

Everyone groaned at him and went back upstairs to their rooms.

The Next morning…

Everyone, except Cornelia, was downstairs in the theater they had in the house. They were gonna order breakfast there and watch a movie (Elyon had butlers and stuff).

"What movie, guys? I have a lot of movies", Elyon asked.

"How about…" Hay Lin started to think.

"Please, not a chick flick", Matt pleaded as the guys nodded.

"Fine, I'll put out all the 'anti chick flicks' for you", Elyon rolled her eyes playfully and started to take out DVD's.

"Hey Elyon, is Cornelia still depressed?" Martin asked.

"Yeah, I'm getting very worried. I've tried to talk to her, but she just looks at me and cries into her pillow. She cried herself to sleep last night and she didn't even eat dinner", Elyon sighed sadly.

After hearing this, Caleb began to feel very guilty. "Hey, I forgot something upstairs, I'll be right back", he lied and went upstairs.

"He didn't forget anything did he?" Hay Lin smiled.

"Nope", Eric smirked.

…

Caleb walked up to the door that said 'Cornelia and Elyon'.

"Ok, breathe…", Caleb mumbled to himself. He knocked on the door, "Hey Cornelia? Are you still sad? Or are you mad about yesterday?"

There was no response. Caleb got curious so he put his ear on the door, only to hear sobs from the blonde. His heart began sinking lower than it was.

He took a deep breathe and did what had to be done. "Cornelia?" he opened the door to see the fragile girl sobbing on her pillow.

He closed the door behind him and sat down next to her lying body.

"Hey Cornelia, tell me what's wrong. You're making me feel guilty…", Caleb put a hand on her shoulder.

She sobbed louder and wrapped her arms around his shoulders and cried in his chest. Caleb was shocked at her reaction and started to blush.

"H-He hates me now, I-I know he d-does", Cornelia said between sobs, "And y-you probably h-hate me too"

Caleb really didn't know what to say. "I don't hate you, Cornelia. And I bet that guy doesn't hate you either".

"You're lying to make me feel better!…I lost it and he's going to be mad at me!" Cornelia cried more, making Caleb's shirt damp.

Caleb put his arms around her. He was really stupid when it came to girls and their 'feelings'.

"Hey Cornelia, what exactly did you lose?"

"M-My lucky charm"

"Is that it? Don't worry, I bet you have lots of other lucky stuff. If not, I'll go with you and go buy a new one"

Cornelia looked up at Caleb. Her teareful stare turned into an angry glare.

"Huh?" Caleb gave her a puzzled look.

"You jerk!" she pushed him off the bed and began crying in her hands again.

"What was that for?" Caleb asked, sitting up.

"Just leave me alone!"

Caleb felt a small stab in his heart.

"You liar! I know I'm just a replacement for that girl"

It's just like what happened with Amy when she left him. Caleb sighed, "I-I'm sorry Cornelia…"

"Please…just go away"

Caleb got up and was about to reach for the door when he remembered what he had in his pocket.

"Hey, I think I know what you're looking for", he got the snow-flake charm from his pockets and put it in her hands.

"I-It's my lucky charm!"

"Yeah, I just remembered I found it when you fell…well, I guess I'll go now…" Caleb said, putting his hand on the doorknob.

"Wait!" Cornelia called out.

"Yeah?" Caleb turned around and was hugged by the blonde one. His cheeks turned pink.

"Thank you for finding it. I don't know what I would've done without it", Cornelia looked up at the flustered boy and smiled. "Hey, don't think of it that way!" she said letting go of him as she put her hands on her hips.

"Thinking of what? Oh, never mind. Come on, the others are waiting for us in the theater for breakfast while watching a movie", Caleb said.

"Others?"

"Yeah, I kinda ditched them saying I forgot something back in my room so I could see what was wrong with you," Caleb smiled warmly to the confused girl.

"You know, Caleb, you're actually really nice"

"Yeah, I know I am", Caleb said sarcastically.

"Don't push it", she punched his arm playfully.

"Oh yeah, who is that guy that you were crying about? The one that you said that was probably gonna get mad at you? If you don't mind me asking", Caleb asked.

"Someone really special to me" Cornelia smiled warmly.

When Caleb saw Cornelia smile, he noticed something different about it. It seemed more radiant and beautiful than the rest. Caleb knew the smile was only meant for that special person to her. It made him feel left out and kind of sad for some reason.

"Well, we better get going or else they might think something happened to us!" Caleb laughed.

"Yeah", Cornelia agreed.

Caleb wasn't such a bad guy. In fact, Cornelia actually liked his company when he wasn't a jerk. Cornelia took Caleb's hand and held it before he opened the door, smiling at him. He didn't mind at all though, he actually felt comfortable with her. He smiled back at her.

When Caleb turned the doorknob, everyone (meaning the whole group) came falling to the ground on top of each other with groans. Cornelia and Caleb quickly let go of each other's hands and glared suspiciously at them.

"What the hell were you doing?" Caleb asked, a suspicious glare still plastered on his face.

"Um…well we…", Matt looked around to find an answer.

"See…we um…came with Elyon to grab something she forgot, right Elyon?", Alex nudged the straw-color haired girl.

"Y-Yeah. I forgot to get my…bracelet! You know how I love to wear it", Elyon laughed nervously with the others.

"And why did all of you come?" Cornelia asked, raising her eyebrow.

"Because…we're about to pick the movie and order breakfast…and we came to get you two…r-right guys?" Martin asked the others.

"Right!" they all said in unison.

"You guys are lousy liars. Forget it, let's just go and pick a movie and eat. I'm starving, and I'm in the mood for a cinnoman roll", Cornelia put her hands on her stomach.

"Yay! Cornelia's back to normal!" they all cried and went to hug her.

Cornelia smiled. She felt a lot better, knowing her friends cared for her. She knew she had a place in their group and that she wasn't just a newcommer. She was one of them. Everyone ran down to the theater to get ready for breakfast.

"Hey Caleb, come here", Alex gestured. He was in the back. Caleb stopped walking for him to catch up.

"What's up?" Caleb asked.

"You're some kind of chick magnet, dude. I swear, Cornelia was like a water works and then you see her for 2 minutes and she comes out smiling like she ate a bunch of chocolate! What'd you do?" Alex winked.

"Shut up!" Caleb exclaimed, a blush creeping on his cheeks.

"Fine, I'll get out of your love life, but you gotta tell me your secret. Then I can get Elyon to fall for me", Alex grinned.

Caleb blushed even more and then nodded.

After breakfast…

Cornelia told her friends that she'd be back in a few minutes. She was going to shopping for something really quick and she didn't want anyone to go along with her. They all raised their eyebrows at her, but they agreed.

See, Cornelia thought that any old skateboard was not enough. She felt so grateful to Caleb for returning her lucky charm. So she decided to make him something original with the skateboard.

"Um…excuse me, sir", Cornelia got the attention of the store clerk.

"Yes, how may I help you, miss?" the man asked.

"Yes, um, I saw that you had a 'design your own skateboard' deal", Cornelia smiled.

"Oh yes, of course, miss. All you have to do is give me a design and we'll have it ready by tomorrow"

"Uh-huh. I already have it prepared", Cornelia took out a folded piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to him.

The man unfolded the paper and smiled. "Did you do this yourself?"

Cornelia nodded.

"Wow, it's very interesting. Alright, all you need now is pay 60 dollars and we'll do the job", the man said.

"Sixty? As in 6 and a 0?" Cornelia asked.

The man nodded, not surprised at all.

"It's worth it. Oh, and can you guys engrave something on it?" Cornelia asked, taking out her wallet.

"Yes we can, for an additional 10 dollars", the man said.

"Yeah, ok", Cornelia payed him seventy dollars.

"What would you like us to engrave on it? Go ahead and write it on this piece of paper", the man gave her a sticky note and a pen.

Cornelia wrote something down and handed him the note.

"For a boyfriend?" the man asked with a smile as he put the sticky note on the design.

"NO! Oh no, of course not. Just a really good friend", Cornelia replied.

"Haha, alright. May I please have your name so I can have it ready for you tomorrow?"

"Cornelia Hale"

"Alright, thank you", the man said.

Cornelia smiled and walked out. Even though it was a lot of money, she still felt satisfied. On the skateboard would be engraved:

Hope you like it,

Cornelia

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

If you're wondering what the design looks like, it has Caleb's name a little slanted in cool black letter with a grey outline and in the background is…a really cool design. Lol, I can't make it any better. I'll update in…I think 1-3 weeks. I'm sorry, I'll miss you all! Bye!
