*Fast forward to thanksgiving *

*Tolops pov*
Me and Sal were in my car on our way to my parents place for the thanksgiving get together. She had made a huge plate of what she called hang and coleslop sandwiches, which translates as ham and coleslaw sandwiches. The traffic back in the town and city was jammed pack but once we got onto a country road it calmed down. Sal threw up out of the window, twice but she had some seven up and strepsils and she felt better. Now shes reading Wattpad fanfiction and complaining about it. Two hours later at around four pm, we arrived at my parents place. Wow! Your old place really is beautiful! Which room was yours? Was it the box room at the side? She gabbles. There's a huge smile on her face. I take our bags out of the back because we're planning on staying here until Christmas. She takes the plates. We walk up to the front door. I put down the bags and knock. It opens almost immediately. My father opened it. Happy Thanksgiving, Tolop. And, you are? He says, looking at Sal. Your sons girlfriend she replies and walks inside. I follow. You'll like her i whisper to my Dad. I go upstairs and put our bags in the spare room. I decide to have a shower. I go to the bathroom. I open the door. My younger sister, Dixie is doing her eyeliner. Her face is already caked with it. She finishes one eye and starts on the other. While we're young. I need to shower i tell her. She doesn't answer. Your eyeliner isn't on fleek your hair isn't gorg and your figure isn't to die for i tell her again. She's thirteen and I'm nineteen. Shes the youngest out of me, my older brother and herself. The older brother is twenty five. She goes out and takes out her phone and takes a selfie. I close and lock the door. I grab a towel and turn on the shower and undress. Ten minutes in, the hot water gets cold. Dixie tampered with the water system. I get out ten minutes later. I dry and dress myself and go downstairs. Everyone from the crew was there. I heard chat going in the sitting room. I go in. Sal and mu grandma are talking. My grandma looks at me. Do you wank in the shower? You took a long time up there she asks. Sal laughs. No I dont, thats Gunner, who happens to be older than me i reply. I'll check on the tea, so sal says and she gets up.

I went with Zaragamba to get to Tolops parents place. We didn't bring anything as we weren't staying. We arrived there first. His mother opened the door. A younger teenager was shouting at her from upstairs. You're not wearing your short leather skirt, its too inappropriate for you. She shouts. Ah Hello Shima, Zaragamba, do come in she smiled. I walked in. The hallway was fairly small but it gave off a nice homely feel. DIXIE COME DOWN HERE AND TALK WITH THE GUEST. I HOPE YOU'RE WEARING JEANS AND A DECENT TOP WITH NO MAKEUP The mother shouted. Two minutes later Dixie appeared. We went into the sitting room. Me and Zaragamba sat down. She got out her phone and came over to us. Can I've a picture? To prove I've meet you she asks. Sure i reply. She takes the selfie and goes to the armchair. She rings someone and starts talking.

We arrived at the house. It was pretty small but at least the family was nice. The youngest came up to me. Have you a girlfriend? She asked. No. Then she walked away. Sal came up to me. How are we? She asked. She had two cups of tea. She gave one to me. Tolop was talking with Dixie. Half an hour later we were called into the kitchen. The food lay there arranged artisicly. The kitchen was small so i had no idea how we were all gonna fit in here. Then I noticed that another table was pressed right against it. As if on cue, everyone scrambled to the table to get a seat. Dixie sat to the right of me and Tolops older brother was the other side. We got our food and we started talking. Gunner starts talking to me. Tolop is talking to Dixie. Zaragamba is talking with Sal. My older brother, Jett, is next to Dolan. We finish after about half an hour.

I offer to take everyones plate. Tolops father helps me. So, is it a tradition to get together at Thanksgiving? I ask, flipping the switch on the kettle. Yes he replied. He goes to the fridge and brings out a massive box. In it, it has tirmasu, pudding, chocolates and fruit cake. Hang on, I'll carry them out I say. I take the fruit cake and pudding and I bring them out. I lay them in the center of the table. Dolans hand reaches towards it. I slap it away and go back. I start bringing out plates. I heard my name being mentioned but I decided to ignore it. Me and his father sit down and we all dig in. I have a piece of everything. I collect the plates after everyone is done and they start leaving. Only me and Tolops family remain. We go to the sitting room. Their Christmas is already up. Ask me any questions I say. Tolop sits next to me. When did you move to Australia? His mother asks. Back in August but I met your beautiful son in September I reply. The room goes quiet. Did you bang? Blurts out Dixie. No. We said we did as a cover up I reply. His father looks at Dixie. Dixie takes out her phone. Shes preggo with twins says Tolop. The parents look at each other. Gunner takes out his headphones. Whos twins? They ask. Mine I say. All eyes are on me and Sal now. Theres an awkward ten second silence. Have you decided on names yet? Gunner asks. I like Hailie for a girl I say. Dixie yawns and gets up. Gonna bed and she walks out the door to the upstairs. Tolop follows. I gotta make sure she isn't doing what she usually does: putting on makeup and spending an hour talking to her boyfriend He laughs. Gunner looks at me. You from a different country? He asks. Ya, Ireland I say. His parents get up and go away. The room is dark. Tolop comes back down. I get up and we both walk up to our room together. We change and sleep peacefully until nine o clock the next day. Gunner tried cleaning the kitchen and failed.
