Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 143
“I’ll have to talk to you a bit later but right now, those
cookies are calling me!” she quickly ran off to the
kitchen.
Jeremiah let out a sigh of relief. “That lady can talk for
years.”
I laughed. “I know the type.”
~~~
I put my gift under the Christmas tree and
approached Jeremiah, who said he’d meet me by the
stairs. I walked over to them as a blonde girl raced
down them, almost tripping and falling. I had a
feeling that was Meredith.
Jeremiah seemed as if he was in a trance. He was
staring at the girl and she seemed to take notice,
blushing and giggling. I wanted to puke. It was
embarrassing to see. “Savannah should be coming
downstairs shortly,” she told me. I felt my heart start
to beat quicker. Finally, the girl I’ve been waiting for,
not in that context. I’ve actually been waiting for her
to come downstairs for a while now.
I watched as she came down the stairs. She was
wearing a sparkly red dress that fit her nicely, better
than anything she’s worn to school, that’s for sure. It
splits into two and wraps around her neck. It suits
Christmas but it’ll definitely make her stand out, in a
good way. It reached her mid-thigh and revealed the
rest of her legs. She was wearing black flats, too.
Her hair was done nicely and she had a small
amount of make up on. She had a gift bag in her
hands and she didn’t seem to notice me as I leaned
against the wall across from Jeremiah and Mere, who
were in her line of vision. She rolled her eyes as she
came down the stairs completely. She walked over
to the Christmas tree and placed her gift under it
before she turned around, her gaze catching mine.
I’m sure I looked like a deer in the headlights as I
stared at her.
I walked towards her, grinning widely. “Savannah,
hey.”
She waved at me, a small smile on her face. “Hi,
Jonah.”
“You look pretty,” I replied as she turned her gaze to
the floor and her face turned a light shade of red.
How cute.
“Thanks, you look pretty, too,” she complimented. I
furrowed my eyebrows as I smiled at her. “I meant
nice, you look nice.”
“You clean up nice,” I nudged her, earning a glare
from her. She punched my shoulder pretty hard and
I held back a cringe at the pain. I stared at her,
slightly shocked before I laughed. “You hit like a girl!”
She punched me harder and I winced even more.
“I’d like to retract my statement. Anyway, what’d
you get for Christmas?”
She shrugged. “I got some more clothes, a pair of
shoes, a new headset, hair stuff, a new backpack,
and some other stuff. What’d you get?”
“I got a new pair of shoes, a few new memory
cards, more membership for XBOX 360, a new
headset, and a few new games,” I shrugged
casually, leaving out the part about the ugly sweater.
I noticed how her eyes widened slightly.
“What games?” she asked me, attempting to be
casual.
I shrugged. “A few games, sports games, really,” I
told her and she nodded. A relieved look took over
her face.
“Any games you wanted that you didn’t get?” she
questioned me and I nodded my head.
“The new STF game but I’ll get it eventually,” I
shrugged again and she nodded her head, a small
smile finding its way onto her face.
“I have it,” she bragged and I glared at her.
“Christmas gift from Ms. Antoinette; it’s one of the
many perks of working at a video game store.”
