- December 25th in 1996:
Since days Matt was totally excited, because he was convinced he would get a new Game Boy to christmas. I was sorry for him, because I did exactly know he wouldn't get one until his birthday. In fact he would get one from me.
I didn't have enough money for paying the Game Boy yet. If I had had enough money, I would have already given Matt the Game Boy to christmas. In the past three months I almost worked everyday and I still hadn't enough money.
I looked forward to the evening when we all would get our presents, indeed I knew exactly what I would get: chocolate.
The day passed quickly like every year.
In the evening we were in the Dining hall and were eating satisfied, because there was a big buffet.
After dinner we went out and made a big snowballfight. Everyone participated, even Matt who usually complained about the weather or among other things and hated going out.
Suddenly a boy ran to us in panic. He was smaller than me and then I remembered it was the boy who came to The Wammy's a few weeks ago. He had tears in his eyes. "Th-there is a housebreaker!"He screamed. "what?" Roger asked shocked. "Th-there" The young boy said, pointing at the house. Everybody stared at the house. Suddenly we heard a bell that sounded like a cow bell. We also heard heavy steps coming closer to us. "That's him" The small boy said now more afraid.
Soon we could tell who it was. It was Santa Claus. Right away everybody let out a sigh of relief and relaxed. The smaller children were happy and we knew exactly what came next: Presents.
Immediately every single child ran into the house and spread across the common room. Santa Claus sat in the middle of the room and fwipped. Suddenly fife assistants came into the room dressed like elves with big brown sacks in their hands, where with no doubt were the presents inside.
Matt and me sat on the floor like every other child. But somehow it seemed Matt couldn't sit still, because he was so exited. I sat still and waited patiently for my present.
After about two minutes, an elf came to us, which looked like L. "L?" I asked surprised. The elf didn't answer. He gave us the presents and then went on. I was pretty sure it was L. "Huh? What is that?" Matt asked disappointed, as he realized that his present was too small for a Game Boy. Quickly he unwrapped the present. "Cool! I ever wanted them." He said happy. He got two new games for his Game Boy. But then he noticed he couldn't play them without a Game Boy and was sad again.
Then I unwrapped my present. In it were two chocolate bars. I was pleased as every year and slowly ate the first. I saved the second for anywhen.
In the present were also 8 pounds. I liked that too, because now there was really not much money left. I may had to work for two or three days.
Christmas passed. It passed as fast as it came. So New Year's Eve and a new year came. With that Matt's birthday came too.
- February 1st 1997:
Today I got up extremly early. I sat on my bed and looked at the alarm clock on the nightstand: 6 o'clock. I was a bit surprised, that I woke up that early on my own. The advantage was I had enough time to get the cake and wrap up the present.
Once I was dressed, I opened the door and went to the kitchen. I saw the relative small cake and went towards it. I baked the cake a day ago with the help of Roger. Carefully I took it and went back to our room. To my luck Matt was still sleeping. I opened the drawer of my nightstand and pulled out Matt's present. Then I remembered I totally forgot to wrap it up. I looked through the room, but found nothing with what I could do it. Unfortunately we hadn't any wrapping paper in our room, so I put the Game Boy back into the drawer and went to Roger's office.
He sat at his desk and read something. "Uhm, Roger. Do you have any wrapping paper?" I asked him. "Hm...I go take a look. One minute." He answered and went into a small room. I appreciated it was a store room or so. As he came out again, he carried a long and thin roll in his hand. It was blue wrapping paper. He gave it to me and asked, "Can you wrap it up by yourself?"
"Yes. Thank you very much." I answered and went back. In our room I quickly took a pair of scissors and some Tesafilm and began wrapping up the present. It was the first time so it was very messy, but just the Game Boy counted.
As everything was finished I tried waking up Matt but he didn't react. So I pulled away his blanket and began tickling him. He slowly moved his hands to push mine away until he woke up completely.
He rubbed his eyes and slowly got used to the bright light of the lamp. Sleepily he looked at the alarm clock and frightened. "Are you crazy?! We only have half past six. Why do you wake me up so early?" I ignored his question. I quickly took out his present from the drawer and hold it in front of him. "Happy Birthday, Matt!" I said. Matt sat and slowly and still sleepily took the present. He quickly unwrapped it and his eyes shone, as he saw what it was. In sheer joy he pounced forward, so that he fell against me and we both landed on the floor. "Thank you, Mello. Thank you soooo much." Matt said, or rather shouted, as he hugged me so firmly it was hard to breathe.
Then he let go of me and took the Game Boy out of its packing. After this he saw the cake and asked me,"Did you make it?"
"Yeah, with Roger" I answered. Satisfied Matt took a piece and ate it.
Then he turned on his new Game Boy and played one of the games he got to Christmas. Now he was back to his usual self. He smiled from ear to ear and it made me happy to see him like this.
