"Jonah! Are you getting ready for the last day of school before winter break?!" Mom called from downstairs.
I sighed as I signed off of Your8-bitWorld.com. Your8-bitWorld.com is a website where you can create your own mini 8-bit character and own a mini 8-bit house. The website has a lot of hangout places where you and your friends can hang out and chat. I've been a member of the website since I was a freshman in high school. Now, i'm a Sophomore and I still go on the website. I used to go on the website everyday and talk to people about my problems and ask for advice. My friends on there never really judge me and they are VERY understanding. Lately, I haven't been going on the website a lot because I never really had a bad day. Ever since the whole 'coming out' and Justin fiasco, I haven't really had any problems. Now, it's nearly Christmas and I know that nothing is going to ruin my Christmas holiday. Especially since I have my two best friends, Jaime and Cyr. I've known Jaime since middle school and she was the first person I came out to. Cyr used to be the new kid in school that I had a huge crush on. Now we've been dating for about four months. He's the most perfect boy in the world and I can't ask for a perfect boyfriend.
"Jonah! Cyr is here!" Mom called.
Speaking of boyfriends...
"I'm coming!" I shouted then hopped out of my chair and grabbed my Star Wars messenger bag. Then I pulled my black Star Wars hoodie over my head. Since it's December, it's practically freezing out. The perfect weather for cuddling. I grabbed my phone then left my bedroom. I walked up to the front of the house to see Cyr waiting for me. I smiled and greeted him.
"Hey, you. Are you ready to face the last day of school?"
I smirked. "I wish it was the last day of school before summer."
"Same here but we'll still be able to enjoy two weeks off~" Cyr said then kissed me.
"Alright, i'm off!" I called out.
"Hold on! Don't forget your lunch." My mom handed me my Star Wars lunchbox.
"Thanks. Bye, mom." I kissed her goodbye then left the house with Cyr.
Me and Cyr walked over to the bus stop, holding hands.
"Can you believe that it's been four months since we started dating?" Cyr asked.
"I know. It's insane. But it just means we're a strong couple."
Cyr nodded. "Definitely."
We both stood at the bus stop and waited for the bus. I was anxious to see Jaime on the last day.
"You, Jaime and me should make plans over the break to hang out."
I nodded. "Totally. But what?"
Cyr shrugged. "I dunno. Something fun like go figure skating or something."
I giggled. "That would be fun."
The yellow bus eventually pulled up and we both got on. Me and Cyr sat down in our usual seat.
"Jeez. It's cold." I said, shuddering.
"Then come here." Cyr wrapped his arm around me and pulled me close to him. I grinned and snuggled closer to him, resting my head on his shoulder.

We finally made it to school and it didn't take me long to find Jaime.
"LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!" She shouted.
"YEAH!" I cheered.
"We need to plan something to do! How about we all hang out after school?" Jaime asked.
I shrugged. "I don't see why not. What about you, Cyr?"
"Sounds good." He nodded.
"Alright, crew. Let's make it through this last day!"
***
The last day of school went by with a breeze and I couldn't wait to hang out with my friends. Though, once school ended, mom called me on my cell and said there was a surprise waiting for me at home. I wasn't sure what it was but it made me super curious. The bus dropped everybody off at our stop and I started to walk home with Cyr.
"Mom has a surprise for me at home. I can call you and Jaime when i'm ready. Sounds good?"
Cyr nodded. "Yep. Later, babe." He kissed me before continuing to his house.
I made my way up to the front of my house and opened the door up. I stepped inside and looked around the house.
"Jonah, we're in here!"
We? My dad isn't home so who is she talking about?
I walked over to the living room to see my mom sitting down on the couch then I looked over to the other side of the living room to see...
"CODY!?" I shouted.
"Hey, Jonah." Cody greeted with a wave.
In case you guys didn't know, Cody is one of the friends I know from Your8-bitWorld.com. I wouldn't say we had a 'thing' but I started to develop feelings for Cody way before I started to date Cyr and then when Cyr came along, I pretty much forgotten my feelings about Cody and now here he is, sitting in my living room. Cody has short brown hair and brown eyes. On a scale 1-1o on the cute meter, I would say he's an eight and Cyr is definitely a ten so Cody is pretty much up there.
"How...what...how?!" I said.
"I haven't told you this but I know Cody's mom. We were friends before she moved to Oregon and had Cody. It's crazy how you two ended up friends huh? Me and his mom thought it'll be nice if you and Cody can hang out over winter break." Mom explained.
I licked my lips, nervously.
"Excited to see me?" Cody teased with a grin.
I slowly nodded. "Of course!"
Cody stood up and walked over to me then pulled me into a hug. He was warm and smelt amazing. I quickly pulled back from Cody and smiled at him.
"Why don't you two catch up?" Mom said then got up and walked out of the living room.
"So...what do you want to do?" Cody asked.
I shrugged. "I had plans with my friends so.."
"Oh cool. Can I meet them?"
I nodded. "Sure. Let me call them."
I grabbed out my cell and called Jaime first.
"Hello?"
"Jaime, guess who came to visit?" I said.
"Who?"
"Cody. Remember Cody from Your8-bitWorld.com?"
"Holy shit! He's here!?"
"Yep. He wants to meet you and Cyr."
"Uh oh."
"I know. Let's meet at the park okay?"
"Sure. Want me to call Cyr?"
"Yes, please. See you soon." I hung up then sighed.
I turned to Cody and smiled. "Let's go!"
