I thought Christmas Day for me would be all about the family, and nothing else.

But then again, maybe not

We were surprised when my cousins from my dad’s side came to our gate announcing that they would be spending the holidays at my grandma’s house. Wow, what a blast!

So we went to grandmas house to join them. After several minutes, while I was sitting near my grandma’s window, there was someone peeking in the house. My mom asked the person who he was looking for and the guy said that he was looking for me. I peeked at the window and to my surprise, it was Ryan. Hewas a classmate of mine back in grade school who had a huge crush on me ever since we were little.

I went out the door and my sister told me to let the person in, but I didn’t let him in just yet because I was suspicious that he may have had too much to drink, and I was right. When I came out, I asked, what are you doing here? Was he there to talk about the get together? He immediately came forward and was reeking of alcohol, and I instantly knew that I should send him home. My aunt and mom came out and asked Ryan to leave because he already drunk and was really making me a bit stressed out. My mom motioned me to go inside the house, which I did. Thankfully Ryan did not cause a ruckus, I wonder if he’ll have a major hangover tomorrow. Thank goodness for quick moms and aunts.

Hours later, my aunt asked me and my cousin to buy ice for the alcohol, and my cousin told me that he would drive and I hopped in the car. When we came to the gasoline station, I saw Polo, my ex with a girl, probably his girlfriend or something. By the way, I looked way prettier and hotter than the girl he was with. I told my cousin to act cool because I was a bit stressed out again, because an ex is there. At first I was not sure because it was a bit dark, but when I saw his shirt, I knew that it was him because it was his favorite shirt. And I must admit, he looked good, but then again, an ex will always be an ex.

I must admit I was stiff and pretended not to notice that my ex was there. I really don’t know if he noticed me, and if he did, it was probably because I was with my cousin who happens to be really a big guy who is also mestizo by the way being half French and all, and probably assumed that my cousin is my current squeeze. Why is this happening to me? Is this the Christmas past???

Oh well, at least I am now at home exchanging messages with JC.

What a Merry Christmas to me and to you all,

Jackie
