June's POV
November
Really, I can't wait for Christmas anymore. Paa would be back in two weeks and I can't wait for my goodies. What? Don't blame me, who doesn't love presents.
Status Update.
Luka and Luen have been doing great. They are so into each other that at times I have to eat a lot of dog food. Thier PDA can at times make me cringe but I love them together. So cute!! Xander and I have really become close. He rarely calls me a nerd and that was after the school basketball match. Yeah, we attended and the boys were amazing and it seems they were delighted to see us there. Who knew sports was fun, I wonder how I never gave it a thought but I'm glad I attended this once.
School, we are currently preparing to write mid term paper and school will soon be over for the term. Christmas is on its way and I have my bucket list up already. Right now, in my room, sitting on the bed legs crossed in an indian style watching a marvel series. I'm a big fan of marvel like I can't explain my love for it. My favourite is endgame which I am watching currently.
Bzzzt Bzzzt…
I suddenly got interrupted by my phone buzzing on the light stand.Turning towards the table and reaching out to get the phone, I swiped the answer button
"Hi babe, what's up?" I asked casually while chewing my popcorn.
"Guess what?" Luen shrieked from the other end of the line making me pull it away from my ear lest I turn deaf.
"What is it, your mum's gold fish died?" I asked still focusing on the movie which I've watched hundreds of times. Like this never gets old. I could already imagine her "seriously,excuse me!" expression which I am sure was on her face when I heard her say,
"In as much as I would like to smack you right now, I wish that was true. How could you love your gold fish more than your daughter?" she said whining. Here we go again, drama queen
"Maybe because the fish isn't as close to annoying as the daughter." I could feel her roll her eyes at my word.
" Why'd you call." I asked nonchalantly remembering that she had something to say. Getting back to her hyper excited mode,
"Thor: love and thunder is premiering tomorrow." she squealed.
I've been waiting for this season to be released in the cinema and hearing her say this got me suddenly interested in her reason for calling.
"Really? Seriously?" I said excitedly while grabbing my laptop to confirm.
"Would I be joking? I bought tickets for us. It's by 1pm, I know you've been waiting for its release so I got the ticket the moment I heard it was out."
"Awwn, what will I do without you? You're the best." I said with a wide smile on my face.
"Nothing fun." she said cheekily
"You…" I called furiously before laughing. Well she's got a point there.
"Yes me. I love you too. See you there, bye."
"Hey! Don't hang up on me." I said but she already aborted the call. Chuckling,
"Crazy girl."
I continued watching the movie as it was getting to its peak of excitement.
Next day,
"Maa." I called coming down the stairs while fixing my wrist watch.
"Huh." mum answered absentmindedly. I could hear her voice from the kitchen so I made my way towards the kitchen.
"How do I look?" I asked spinning for her to check me out.
"You are looking extremely beautiful dear. Are you sure you aren't going on a date?" she asked wriggling her brows upwards.
"Maa, stop it. I'm going for a movie with Luen." I said smiling while picking up my bag.
"Okay, okay! I'll be going with Alee to shop for some groceries then we'll go visit your aunt Maggie's." she said telling me her plan for the day.
"Okay, say hi to aunt Maggie for me; I might drop by later besides I'll follow Luen home first so we'll meet there."
"Okay sweetie, bye."
"Bye maa." I said while stepping out the door. I hailed a cab and headed for the cinema. On getting there, I met Luen, Luka and Xander. I should have expected that.We checked in our ticket before we went in and had the best time of our lives. In the cinema, we had a funny awkward experience when Xander accidently took a sip from my drink. We looked awkward at the moment of realization before we both laughed. We watched in silence commenting on the movie once in a while. Love and thunder is so cool and interesting, it's the best. After that, we went for bowling which I wasn't very good at. I tried to knock out some pins but gosh, I am horrible at this. I could see the others playing and tried to imitate their movements but that didn't play out well.
"Need a hand there?" I heard Xander ask.
" Well,yeah I guess I'll need a hand because I am horrible at this." I said.
"I'll teach you then. First, you have to straighten your hand and wrist, your bowling arm has to be at a distance while bowling. Pull your right foot behind your left...." I could here him explaining behind me while demonstrating. My heart was beating a thousands times faster than usual at the closeness. I wonder if he could hear it with the way it was beating.
"Do you understand the process now?" he asked.
"Yes I guess." I said drifting away from my thoughts.
"How about you try it now to see if you've got it."
"Okay." I said taking position. I followed all the steps he taught me and I was able to knock out most of the pins.
" Whoa! I hit it, did you see that?" I said excitedly.
"Yeah, you're getting the hang of it" Xander said as we both high fived. We played a few more rounds before leaving for the park . We went for some rides, had ice cream and relatively enough amount of fun. After a long day, we went home. I followed Luen, home met mum, Alee and aunt Maggie (Luen's mum) also having fun and watching the TV. We joined in the fun and it soon turned into a family game night. We ended up sending the night at Lu's home.

The mid term test have just been concluded and we are on a one week break meaning that school will soon be closed for the term and I'm about to have the best Christmas of my life. I feel that way, but you know what, all Christmas are the best. Celebrating Christ makes it super special and being with your loved ones that period makes it cooler. Besides Merry Christmas in advance.
