Bella's POV
"I am freezing." I said as I rubbed my glove covered hands together.
Edward put his arm around me and pulled me close to his side. Sitting on metal bleachers in the beginning of December was a dumb idea. But, it was something we did every Friday night, to cheer on my step-brother Seth.
Seth is Sue's son, and since Charlie has been raising him like he was his own since Seth was about two, his son also. Seth has always been the lovable, cute little kid that everybody wanted to take home. Since he started playing football, became captain, and bulked up over doubling his size, he's now the lovable, cute kid every girl wanted to take home.
Seth has been flattered by all of the attention by the girls, but he has his sights set on bigger things. Seth makes excellent grades and has been working his but off at the lone store in town, saving up to put towards college. He is hoping that he can get a football scholarship, and any money he saves he wants to put with his scholarship.
Charlie and Sue have fallen on hard times financially, like the rest of the town. And Seth wants to help, knowing they are stressed on how they are going to pay for college.
"Seth is pumped for this game." Sue said as she sat down next to me. It wasn't surprising that Seth was pumped; he was pumped for every game. Football was his first and only love.
"There have been rumors there is a scout checking out the game tonight." Charlie said.
"That would be great." Edward said. "Seth is sure to be picked up."
Seth was in top form as the game went on. He was definitely out to impress tonight.
"We are going on a hot chocolate run, who wants some?" Rose asked. We all raised our hands. We were all freezing; we would have drunk lava if it meant getting warm.
It was half time while Rose and Emmett went on their hot chocolate run. While the cheerleaders were dancing and praising the football team I noticed Seth was talking to a man off to the side.
I pointed it out to Sue, "Who's that?" I asked. She crinkled her eyebrows and shrugged her shoulders.
We watched on as the man handed Seth an envelope and then walked away.
"Maybe it was the scout." Jasper said.
"Oh, I hope." Sue said. "Lord knows we could use a scholarship."
Emmett and Rose came back up to our seats each carrying drink holders full of cups.
"You are never going to believe what I saw." Emmett said.
Rose rolled her eyes and said, "Not this again, Emmett."
"I swear I just saw elves." Emmett said. "Rose thinks I'm crazy, but I swear I really did."
We were all in agreement with Rose, Emmett was crazy.
We watched as Seth opened the envelope and looked at the papers he pulled out. A huge smile spread across his face and then he scanned the crowed. After spotting us he run up the stairs of the bleachers and stopped in front of us.
"Was that guy talking to you the scout?" Charlie asked.
"Oh, no, there was no scout." Seth said disappointment clear in his voice.
"Who was that guy?" Sue asked.
"I actually have no idea." Seth said looking behind him trying to find the guy that had been talking to him. "He said some person asked him to find me and give this to me." Seth explained and then held up the letter with a huge smile.
"What is that?"
"It's my acceptance letter to that football camp." Seth explained excitedly.
The football camp was a dream of Seth's. It was a month long camp during the summer where you trained along side professional football players. Going to that camp gave you a better chance of being drafted by an Ivy League school. It was also very expensive.
"Oh, sweetie." Sue said sadly. "I know you had your heart set on that camp, but we just can't afford it."
"I know that mom, that's why I didn't even apply for it. Which is why an acceptance letter is weird. But, look. Amount due, zero. Paid in full."
"Oh, my God." Sue exclaimed grabbing the letter from Seth to inspect it for herself. "Did you do this?" She asked Charlie while smiling ear to ear.
"I wish I could have, but I didn't." Charlie answered.
"Look at the envelope." I said.
Seth turned the envelope over to show everybody. On the front of the envelope was a red ribbon. Santa's signature mark.
"Congratulations." Charlie said. "You've received Santa's first miracle."
A/N: I hope you enjoyed Santa's first miracle. We are starting small…we will get bigger.
Leave a review and see you tomorrow for the next miracle.
