Countdown to Christmas

Marcus's POV,


It was now only 10 days till Christmas. Caspar and Joe still weren't friends. Caspar was in South Africa for Christmas with his parents, and I bet you he won't come back. I feel kinda bad. We'd all ignored him at school. Caspar's vulnerable, he was probably getting paid to be with them or something? Who am I kidding, this kid fully left us for his channel. My head is torn. I kinda miss him...


Niomi stayed over last night, she was cuddled up next to me. We were both still virgins and didn't plan on losing that any time soon. Her little frame was nestled in between my arms. I got up and had a shower.


When I walked back in to my room Nims was fully ready for school, her makeup was perfect, she didn't wear much anyways. She was wearing a cropped t-shirt, faded jeans and vans.


"I'll make some breakfast then?" She said giggling. I was only in a towel. She looked at me and walked out of the room awkwardly.


I got changed into some black jeans, a white top and my blue coat. I put on my converse and walked downstairs.


Niomi handed me a bowl of porridge with some almonds, strawberries and banana in. She had the same. We sat down and ate our food. Food always tasted better when Niomi had made it. Even my mum agreed. She was practically forcing us to sign our marriage certificate right now.


She'd never been like that was my other 2 serious relationships. Whenever I'd bring a girl round her immediate reaction was; too slutty, too tall, too nerdy, too dumb, too fat, too skinny. I guess Niomi was perfect.


"Finished?" She said offering to wash up. I nodded and picked up my school bag. I grabbed my car keys, phone and Niomi's khaki trench coat.


Niomi's POV


The first few lessons went by really slowly. It was the last day of term before Christmas break, I couldn't wait for Christmas with Marcus. Our families were having a joint celebration. He was perfect.


I sat down at our usual lunch table with Tanya and Zoe.


"So how's your relationship with Jimbob then?" I asked Tanya. We hadn't spoken in what felt like ages! She smiled and laughed


"It's great, he cares so much!" She was so happy. "He's getting me a surprise gift for Christmas, I can't wait!" It seemed like Christmas couldn't come any quicker.


Louise joined us half way through lunch with her new boyfriend Matt. Everyone was so happy. Even Joe had perked up, he'd met a girl and they were always flirting. It was so nice to see everyone happy.


We met the boys outside. We were all crowded round a bench under shelter. It was lightly snowing.


Me and Marcus got up and chased each other around the field. Soon enough everyone was running around throwing tiny little balls of snow at each other. The snow wasn't heavy enough to settle properly so we did our best.


I went round Zoe and Joe's after school to study with Tanya, Louise and Zoe. Joe new girlfriend was there. Her name was Gabby or something? She was pretty and really nice. We all waved at her but she didn't stay long, her and Joe went upstairs. We had our GSCEs in a few months and I really wanted to get into university.


I arrived home after countless hours of studying. Being with the girls made it much more bearable. I got into my elephant onsie and made my self a cup of hot coco before skypeing Marcus for a bit. I was slowly falling asleep so I ended the call.


Marcus was the best thing to happen to me. Ever.


I felt like my life couldn't get any better.
