writing Where Are You Christmas? [PG]

[Haruhi-chan 487]

This is a story I've been writing. I've only down the first chapter because I want to try and get more ideas for it. I really hope you like it though. Please be nice to me by the way. ;w; I'm not very good at being criticized. ><

 

Also, I apologize if this is the wrong place for it. It's not a fanfiction, so I had no idea where else I was supposed to put it. D:

 

 

It was just after Thanksgiving. I hated that Azuka was watching me while mom was at work for the day. The snow fell lightly outside our house, but I didn't smile. I couldn't when I knew we weren't having a Christmas this year. What kind of a family doesn't have a Maine Christmas?

If only dad hadn't gotten killed the week before Thanksgiving. Mom wouldn't be taking all her pain out on the holidays. It wasn't there fault, so she had no reason to make such a big deal out of it whatsoever. I just wish he was still here because he could always change her mind no matter what.

I sat there watching the snow fall down, covering everything in heavy blankets. My body rocked slowly back and forth as I let out a deep sigh. I wasn't really in the mood to go outside and play in it. I just didn't have the Christmas spirit like I used to, and I hated it since I loved this time of year the most.

"Fiona, let's go play in the snow," Azuka said with a soft smile.

Azuka was the kid of mom's family friend. Although, he wasn't a kid anymore than he wanted to be. We both had a very child-like personality and also grew up together. I didn't know why I hated him either, but I just did.

"I don't want to play now," I told him, refusing his eye contact too. "Can't you see I'm just not in the mood today?" I said while crossing my arms and pouting.

"If you don't, then I'll just have to ask your sister," he teased me to get me jealous. "I'm sure she would love to go outside and play," he chuckled until I let out a huge sigh.

"Fine. I'll go outside with you," I finally gave into his constant demands.

I started to get ready to play outside, making sure I had on my warm white winter coat, my niece gloves with a matching hat, my beige boots and my white ski pants. I followed him outside and began growling at him. Azuka had thrown a snowball at me that I hadn't even been prepared for.

"Have some fun," he chuckled at me again.

I rolled up a ball of snow and attempted to return fire. Azuka ducked his head, causing my snowball to hit the bare lilac tree behind him. I tried for a second time, only for him to dodge it again. It frustrated me, and made me stamp my feet in anger. I couldn't believe he wasn't even playing fairly.

"You're just too slow," he said with a light snicker.

"I think you're just being a jerk," I told him while crossing my arms and pouting. "You could at least give me a fighting chance at this," I glanced away from him.

"It wouldn't be fun for either of us if I went easy on you," he shrugged when I caught him off guard thar time. "Oh, is that how you want to play?" he laughed after getting hit in the chest.

I couldn't help snickering once I finally got him. I guess I just felt proud of my feat until he threw a snowball back at me. I tried to get my revenge on him by returning fire, but he wouldn't let me do that. I started screaming at him in frustration and got his attention. I attacked him with one more snowball with his guard down again.

"You're having fun with this," he chuckled as he brushed himself off.

I ran off, expecting him to chase after me with another. Instead, he started to build a snowman and got my interest. I helped him build it while finding things to use for eyes, a mouth and a nose as well. We ended up going with a carrot nose, two rock eyes and a rock mouth. The only thing he needed was a hat and scarf.

"Hm. It's not our best work," I shrugged, only for him to laugh.

"Poor snowman," he continued to chuckle softly. "Don't you think you're being hard on him?" he asked me when I just shrugged again.

"What do you want to do now?" I fiddled with my fingers and refused his eye contact.

"Depends on what you want to do," he said to me and had no clue himself. "I guess we could head inside for some hot chocolate for the day," he nodded, but I had other ideas instead.

I threw one last snowball at him with a huge grin. This made him smirk as he tried to return fire to me, only for me to run. Azuka chased after me and ended up hitting me in the back with a snowball. I couldn't help laughing as we threw snowballs at the other, causing so much laughter.

We went inside to share hot cocoa with my little sister Olivia. I started to think about not having a Christmas this year, which got me upset again. I don't think Azuka realized I was depressed at the moment. I was always really good at hiding my emotions without fail.

"You should have been out there," Azuka told Olivia as I scowled angrily at him. "What? You don't want her to have fun too?" he tilted his head in confusion.

I didn't answer that because I had no idea what made me jealous. I was supposed to be hating him, yet I got jealous at the same time. It didn't make any sense to me at all, even if Olivia teased me about liking him. None of that was even true as far as I knew, and I wanted to keep it that way too.

"Are you jealous?" he teased and smirked at me, causing my cheeks to burn.

"No," I scowled while looking away. "Why would I be jealous of someone like you?" I crossed my arms as I continued to pout.

"I'm only teasing you," he chuckled at me, not noticing the slight blush in my cheeks either.

I had to admit, Azuka had his good moments. It still didn't mean I liked him that much. I would never like him as much as he wished. I couldn't bare the idea of going out with someone like him no matter what Olivia said.

 

 

I'm not very confident about my writing as I should be. ._. However, if people like it enough here, then I might consider posting more of it. :3 Also, I know it's really early to think about Christmas. That's why I've only written the first chapter.
