Chapter 12 - Christmas

20XX, December XX; Home

It's been a long time, huh? So, just now, I decided to write when there's an occassion only or if I have more time since club is still busy.

This will be another short entry while I'm still in my room after getting a shower. Dad will be calling me later so I have to write fast.

Good news first. We won the city wide soccer tournament. Remember, I'm an assistant manager. So Yay!

Not really. I can't think of any good news. Well, dad said he was getting me a phone. Maybe today. Is that good news or bad for me since dad will have a way to call me anytime?

Well, today is Christmas. Another Yay! Eli was so excited since the gifts were already under the tree. It was hard for me to get a gift for him with my little allowance but I still got him more crayons since his were already really used now.

So, for tonight's dinner, dad invited the 'babysitter'. Yup, I managed to put off the meeting between us for months and now I have no choice.

I reasoned my club activities again the last times since it was the tournament time. It was mostly true but there were also times when I just spend the time in the library.

It's not like dad would know but I can't do that again if he's going to give me a phone. He'll probably have me pass the phone to the teacher.

Anyway, later, I'll meet her so good luck to me. I'll see if I can write again before I fell asleep.

Oh, and Mom was still the same, crying in their room but looks like dad doesn't care about her anymore.

Later time, after the Christmas dinner

I met the 'babysitter' like what I wrote earlier. Her name is Chelsea. Beautiful like my brother said. She made a good mac'n cheese and looks like my brother really liked her.

I got new clothes as gifts from both dad and Chelsea and dad said the gifts were chosen by her. I guess the phone he said before will be in the future.

That's it. Good night!
