All is here

I finally come to the bus stop close to the mall.

Looking around, I could see many cars outside.

I had hoped that there would be fewer people now. Seeing what is happening, I will need to buy food.

Thinking about this, I strolled to the mall. Looking around, I could see that for sure. I will stay in the long queue.

My phone started ringing.

Hearing it, I answered and said, "Yes."

"Oh, Jack, where are you?" Paula voices.

"Mall."

"Oh, buying something?" she asked.

"Yes. I need to buy a few things. Seeing what is happening here, I don't know if I will not be late for the class party."

"Oh, RICH is empty. You can come here. Lucy, do not pinch me," Paula's voice comes, and she hangs out.

Hearing it, I looked around, and when I shook my head, I came out. While seeing JJ driving around, I waved to him.

He probably saw this, and when he came closer, I sat as a passenger and said, "Too many people."

"I told you to buy it earlier."

"Oh, come on. You know a place where I can buy paper to wrap gifts?" I asked.

"No. Sorry," JJ said. Hearing it, I said, "So time, to go to RICH. I hope they will not kick me out of it."

"Oh, you were," he asked. Hearing it, I nodded and said, "Right. Here is my mask. I will wear it and go there. So, can you give me a lift there?"

"I will even park in a VIP place. Which is there?"

"Ok," I said while looking outside. I kept doing it JJ started driving there. While seeing it, I came out after he parked and walked inside.

There are much fewer people here than I expected. Seeing it, I smiled while fixing my mask and started walking around.

While I was there, I walked to buy a paper. Seeing some, I took two rolls. While having it with me, I smiled and came out.

Seeing it, I kept walking around, and after walking into the shop, I bought some meat.

I might need it. No idea how long I will be at home. Therefore, I might cook something during Christmas. Knowing that I bought what I required and walked out.

As I kept walking, I could feel someone grabbing my hand. Feeling it, I turned, and while seeing Joanna, she asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Shopping. I will go now. See you in two days."

"What had happened to your forehead?" she asked. Hearing it, I looked around and said, "Ask Sophia. We cannot talk here. I will go."

"Ok," she said. Hearing it, I nodded, and while walking away, I could see Paula walking out of the shop.

Seeing her, she smiled. After her, Lucy and Emily came out. Seeing them Paula said, "Oh, shopping."

"Yes."

"Paula, let's go. We still need to buy a few more things," Emily said. Hearing her words, I looked into her eyes. Seeing her look, I said, "See you later."

"Yes," Paula said, and she walked after Emily and Lucy. Seeing them walking away, I smiled and strolled back to the car. While there, I packed all in, and after taking my mask off, I could see Joanna coming out.

Seeing her looking around, JJ started his lights.

"So she called you."

"Yes," he said. Hearing it, I shook my head. Seeing it, she came inside, and while looking at me, she said, "Tell me what happened."

"Sophia deals with it. Do not worry. All will be ok soon," I said. Hearing me, she looked at my wound and said, "It looks bad."

"Only look. It is much better. So you know at what hour I should come on the twenty-fifth."

"Oh nine."

"Ok. So we will see then," I said. Hearing me, Joanna nodded, and when she smiled, she said, "yes. See you then. I hope all will be ok."

"All depends not on me."

"I know," she said. Hearing it, I nodded, and when she came out, I moved a little down and could see JJ driving away. Seeing it, I took the phone and looked as if Paula, texted me.

Seeing nothing here, I shook my head, and after we came to our destination, I smiled and took it all out.

Looking at JJ, I said, "So see you in two hours."

"Ok. I will be here. Now it's time to buy something to eat," he said. Hearing it, I nodded, and when he took the phone, I grabbed it all and walked inside.

After taking the meat out, I started cutting it, and while having it all here, I packed it into bags.

While having everything prepared, I put it into the fridge. Good, that I have some other things here so I can make some food. While knowing it, I smiled and checked the bread.

While seeing that I do not have a lot, I will buy two tomorrow. Just to have.

While knowing it, I smiled and walked to wash my hands. When I had done this, I looked all around and grabbed the paper.

While having it, I smiled, and after taking Paula's gift, I checked if it was all there and started wrapping it.

While I kept doing it, I had done it at one point. Seeing that it is perfect, I put it into my backpack.

While having it, I put my backpack on the side and walked to have a quick shower.

Time to prepare before all. While knowing it, I changed, and after lying in bed, I started TV and let time pass.

I have some time before going so I can watch some cartoons. While eating lunch, which I made today.

Time passed like crazy.

Seeing that I need to go out now, I changed, and after grabbing everything, I came out.

There I will eat so I touched nothing from lunch.

Knowing it, I smiled, and after coming to the car, I looked at JJ, and I could smell many things there. As I looked at him, he said, "So we can go."

"Yes," I said. Hearing me, JJ nodded, and when I smiled, we started our ride.

I keep looking outside. As JJ kept listening to the podcast once again, I said, "You keep listening to them a lot."

"Oh yes. They have a lot of episodes in front of me."

"Good to know. After all that, I will probably go to the flat," I said.

"Ok. I will probably be in the same place. As I suppose you will have to ride there."

"Probably. I will see," I said. Hearing me, JJ nodded and focused on driving. Seeing it, I smiled and kept looking outside. While doing it, we had come closer.

Seeing it, I came out and started my walk to the building where all. Will be happening.

Seeing it, I come in, and while I keep following what Paula had told me, I come to my destination.

Seeing a few people here, I looked around, and when I found a good place far away from everyone, I sat there. Seeing it, I smiled, and while seeing Paula coming closer, she looked at me and said, "You come earlier."

"Oh, life."

"I hope everything will go well. After this, we are going to a flat," Paula said. Hearing it, I nodded. Seeing her look, she smiled and said, "I need to go do my work."

"Ok," I said. When Paula smiled, I looked at her walking away. Seeing it, I could see more and more classmates showing up.

Seeing them look at me makes me feel good that I choose a place here.

While they kept coming, Kean looked at me. Seeing his look, he walked to the other side of the room.

Seeing it, I looked at my phone and kept reading. While I kept doing it, everyone came, and while seeing it, we started eating. I could see that they started exchanging gifts. Paula received a lot.

Seeing it, I started becoming a little jealous. Seeing Paula smile, I hope she will like what I bought for her.

Hoping that she will like it, I checked if I packed it. When the gift exchange ended, of course, I received none.

Most Paula, and it, started going down. Seeing it, I smiled, and not long after, food had come.

Seeing it, I looked at what was there, and while seeing that someone was in front of me, I started eating.

Talk's music and alcohol.

All is here.

I keep being like always. Do not care about anything that is happening here. Just let it all pass.

Thinking about this, we had come to where more and more people started becoming drunk.

They keep drinking non-stop. Seeing it, I shook my head. As I kept eating, I had done it at one point.

I keep observing Paula. Almost everyone is close to her. Seeing it, I shook my head. As she kept trying to be calm, I could see that who started being drunk and falling asleep, someone started taking them away.

Good, that is happening. Seeing it, I keep observing Paula.

Time passed.

Who knows when almost three hours passed from starting it all?

As fewer people had left, I could see that they started going away.

Most of them were drunk. Seeing it, I looked at Paula. Seeing my look, she nodded.

Therefore, we will end it all soon. Knowing it, I nodded, and while only four of us left, Paula walked away. Seeing it, Emily and Lucy come closer. Seeing their look, Emily said, "If you hurt her, I will kill you."

"I will help," Lucy added. Hearing it, I nodded. Seeing my look, they nodded, and when Paula came, she smiled, and when she came closer, she said, "Let's go."

"Ok," I said. Hearing me, Paula nodded, and we walked out. I hope nobody from our classroom will see us together.
