Paige POV

"Oh don't be a baby," I say with a laugh as I gently applied a bag of ice to Seth's upper chest, "It's just ice, Sethy."

"It's freaking cold." He said as he shivered some and grabbed one of my blankets that was on my bed.

"Well I'm guessing it would be cold since it's frozen water." I say to him.

He shook his head but smiled at me, "Thank you for helping me."

"No problem," I say to him, "Why did you even sign up for Powerlifting anyways?"

"Cause I told Brock I would do it this year with him." Seth said while picking up a bag of ice and applying it to his lower back, "He said that its just the first day and the soreness won't last always."

"Just because you join," I say to him, "Doesn't mean you have to bench your weight the first day Seth."

"Well," he said to me, "Tamina said that if I wanted to even compete at the first match, then I have to bench my weight by the first week. I might as well just have got that over with today. Coach Bennett was impressed."

"And now your all sore." I say to him, "Your gonna feel even more sore tomorrow you know. And your legs are pretty swollen too. Stop trying to impress people so much."

"I'm not." He said with a laugh, "I just kinda did it."

"Well just don't get hurt," I say to him, "Promise me that."

"I promise I won't get hurt." He said then placed a kiss on my for head.

"So who's all on the team?" I ask him.

"Me, Brock, Shamus, Mark, Show," he said to me, "Dolph is coming in tomorrow, and Tamina."

I laugh, "I swear she never does girly sports like Volleyball."

"She really loves lifting though." Seth said to me with a laugh, "She's just another one of the guys when she's in there."

"We gotta girly her up." I say with a laugh, "If she ever wants to get a man."

"Well she flirts constantly with-" he started but stopped and shook his head, "Nevermind."

"Who?" I shout at him and push his shoulder.

"Ouch." He mumbled and held his shoulder.

"Oops." I say to him as I place the bag on his shoulder now, "Sorry... But tell me!"

He laughed slightly, "I'm not saying. Cause I don't know for sure. I don't even know if the two of them know that their doing it."

"Do I know this person?" I ask him.

"I'm not telling Paige." He said to me.

"Come on." I whine as I lay back on my bed, "Please?"

"Nope." He said to me with a laugh.

"Fine." I say while taking my phone out my pocket and type a message to Naomi, "I have my ways of finding out."

Paige: do me a favor and pry Mina intolerant she confessed who she likes.

"Are you texting her?" Seth asked me with a laugh.

I shake my head as Naomi texted me back.

Namoi: Teamin up with the Boss for this one 👌🏽✨😈

I laugh at the thought of Naomi and Sasha bugging Tamina until she told them. But knowing her, she'd never tell.

"Stop investigating other people's love life's and worry about ours." He said while pulling me closer to him as he laid down on my bed.

"I'm not worried about ours." I say as I give him a quick kiss, "Ours is perfect and worry free."

"Just how I like it." He said with a laugh.

I smile as I lay my head on his chest. I don't know why I was stupid enough to push him away all those years. He made me happy, he made me feel save, he made me feel like I was a freakin princess.

"So," he said, "You excited?"

"For what?" I ask him.

"About getting some time off in a couple of weeks?" He asked me.

"Well duh." I say with a laugh, "Anything that gets me away from that hellhole for a while is a good thing. I'm ready."

"Can you believe that Second Semester is about to start?" He asked me, "This year is going by quicker than we thought. Graduation is gonna be here before we know it."

"Don't even remind me." I mumble, "I mean, I'm excited about graduating, but you leaving is gonna kill me... Have you even decided where you want to go."

He shook his head, "And I don't want to think about it yet. I just wanna take my time with you and the others. I don't know where I'm gonna go, or what I'm even going to do."

"Whatever it is," I say while giving him a quick kiss on the cheek, "You're gonna be amazing at it."

He smiled, "So are you ready to go back and visit your home country?"

"Uh..." I say to him, "Not really..."

"Why?" He asked me.

"I just..." I say while trying to find the right words, "Don't feel like going, that's all."

"Why not?" He asked me, "It's gonna be fun. All the people you use to hang out with are gonna be there."

"They may not even remember me." I say. The truth was, I didn't have too many friends back there anyways. Maybe one or two and they were like three years older than me, so I doubt they'll be in Norwich.

"I thought you'd be excited." Seth said to me, bringing my out of my thoughts.

'How could I be excited...' I think to myself, then shake my head, trying to remove the memories from my head.

"Maybe I'll get excited as we get closer to the date?" I suggest the lie. There was no way I'd get excited about this. If anything, I'd only get more nervous.

"So," I quickly change the subject, "When you saw Brock today, was he alright. And have you talked to Neville?"

He sighed, "Brock seemed ok... But you know, he doesn't really show emotion. Neville didn't feel like talking too much... How's Renee?"

"A mess." I say with a sigh, "Dean texted me earlier and said that they made her take the night off at work because she was so out of it."

Seth shook his head, "I can't believe Brie said that."

"I can't believe that we were all cool with her for a while." I mumble. It takes me a long time to trust, and I'm still mad at myself for letting my gaurd down with her.

"If she doesn't calm it down," he said to me, "Then I swear, it's only going to be a matter of time before her and Naomi have it out."

"I'm actually scared that Nams might hurt her..." I mumble. I've seen Naomi fight before... Well, she doesn't suck, like she's far from that.

"Well maybe if someone knocked some sense into her," Seth said, "This wouldn't happen."

I shrugged as he held me closer to him. I smiled as his hands wandered over my legs.

"Mr.Rollins?" I ask with a laugh, "What are you doing?"

"Well Mrs.Rollins," he said with a small laugh, "I'm thinking."

"About what?" I ask him.

"The past," he said, "The present, the future."

"What do you see when you think about them?" I ask him.

"The past," he said to me, "I see the hard times we've come out of."

"What about the present?" I ask him.

He shrugged, "The present is always cloudy to me, it's always hard to tell. It always gives hints and tips about the future though."

"What does it say about the future?" I ask him as he put a blanket over the both of us.

"That we still have a lot to go through..." He said while bringing me closer, "I don't know it all... But this is just a small part or something big."

"Good or Bad?" I ask him.

"I don't know." He said, "But if your right by me, then it must be good."

I smile slightly as I wrap my arms around humans lay my head on his chest.

"I hope it is." I mumble into his chest as I closed and he wrapped a arm around my waist and held me close.

"Sleep beautiful." He whispered to me as I felt myself slipping into the peaceful conscious I always feel when I sleep with him.

'Got your mind on your body
And your body on my mind'

I laughed as I watched Kevin sing off key to Cool for the Summer by Demi Lavato while he placed some files in a box. 

"Less singing and more working Kevin." Mrs.Adams said as she turned the radio down some.

"Hey," Kevin said, "I work better when I listen to music."

"You sing any louder and Canada will hear you." Mrs.Adams said with a laugh.

"See," I say, "This is why I love office Aid. We do a little bit of work, still have some fun, get a free 100."

Mrs.Adams smiled, "I have to say. I enjoy this group of seniors as my office aids. I'm gonna miss you guys when you graduate."

"We're gonna miss you too Mrs.A." Kevin said, "And all that candy that you give us all the time."

Mrs.Adams laughed, "So what are you two planning on doing after graduation as far as careers go?"

I shrug, "I really don't know yet."

"Well," Kevin said, "In the words of Chris Brown, 'All I wanna do is drink and f-'"

"Kevin!" I shout with a laugh, "Language!"

He raised his hands in defense, "I'm just sayin, that's all I wanna do."

"You kids will find something to do." Mrs.Adams said to us, "I promise. You're gonna find something that you enjoy doing and your never gonna wanna stop... You've been working on your community service hours right?"

"I'm done with mine." I say to her. I used up all of mine by working at the hospital. You can't use your time at your workplace, but I don't technically work there. Mum pays me, not the hospital. I find loopholes easily.

"Does beating up Luke Harper count as community service?" Kevin asked and I couldn't help but laugh.

"No Kevin." Mr.Kelton said as he exited his office.

"Then I have not completed any community service." Kevin said.

"Well you still have a semester to get it done." Mr.Kelton said with a laugh.

"Probably not gonna get them done." Kevin said.

"Then you can't get your diploma." Mr.Kelton said to him.

"Oh I'm gonna get my diploma." Kevin said, "Do you really want me to repeat my senior year? Do you really want another year with me?"

"Good point." Mr.Kelton said and I laughed, "Still at least attempt your hours Kevin."

"No promises," Kevin said.

"I'm about to go to a meeting downtown," Mr.Kelton said, "I need Mrs.Adams to come with me. You kids can handle the front office for the rest of the period, right?"

I nod, "Yeah, no problem. It's not the first time."

"Good," Mr.Kelton said, "Ms.Dodson is in the back of you need any help."

We both nod and wave to the both of them as they exit the the office. Our job wasn't that hard. Just separate files, go get students out of class if their parents check them out, check students in if their late. It's not hard.

"Was there any secret Santa gifts today?" Kevin asked as he thumped a armament on the Christmas tree.

I nod, "I gotta go put the small ones in the right lockers before this period ends."

He nods, "You know what we should do before we do that?"

I raise a eyebrow, "What?"

He held up a finger and went over to Mrs.Adams drawer and pulled out a six cord.

"What on earth are you about to do?" I ask with a laugh as he plugged his phone into the small speaker and a song started to play.

"We should hit the Quan." Kevin said as the song played admit immediately started laughing.

"I'm not doing that." I say with a laugh as the song continues to play, "I don't even know how to do it."

"It's easy," he said, "Just watch me."

He began to walk around and swinging his arms in circles and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Kevin." I heard a voice say and I turn to the door and see Sasha standing there with a look of disapproval and I couldn't help but laugh harder.

"What?" Kevin asked as he continued.

"What the hell are you doing?" She asked him.

"I'm hitting the Quan." Kevin said to her.

"You hitting somethin," Sasha said, "But it ain't the Quan."

"I'm doing it right!" Kevin protested.

"You aren't." She said to him.

"Then you get over here and do it." Kevin said.

Sasha shrugged, "Fine then."

Sasha began to do what Kevin had did, but only it seemed better.

"This is how you hit the Quan." Sasha said to him as he joined in with her and I laughed harder.

"Your guys are ridiculous." I say as I calm down from laughing."

"Oh!" Sasha shouted, "Before the school years ends, we need to play drop dance over the speaker at lunch or something."

"Or Flawless." Kevin suggested.

"I woke up like this!" Sasha and I shouted while laughing.

"We gotta choose a clean class song." Sasha said, "Nothing sad and whack."

"We gotta have good class quotes too." Kevin said.

"How about 'The Kings and Queens of 2016?'" Sasha suggested.

"Nah." I say, "How about 'The Classiest Class?'"

"Nah," Kevin, "How about, 'I don't fuck with you?'"

"It has to be rated G Kevin." Sasha said with a laugh.

"Then how about, 'We stopped caring, about a week ago?'" Kevin suggested then stared tweaking which caused me to go into a fit of laughter again.

"Fuck with us and then we tweakin hoe!" Sasha shouted and joined Kevin.

"I don't think there going to let us use that!" I shout in between laughs.

"Ok ok ok." Sasha said while calming down, "Let's be serious. What would be a good quote?"

"How about, '47 more years until we're seniors again?'" Kevin suggested.

I laughed, "That one was cute, but no. What about, 'Class of 2016, we've swerved, we've twerked now we gotta kind work?'"

"That was pretty good," Sasha said, "Oh! I just got one! Like I got it. Ok, how about, 'Step Aside as we rock the scene, we're the class of 2016?'"

"Your a genius!" Kevin said while giving her I high five.

"Correction," Sasha said, "I'm a motherfuckin boss."

Kevin raised his hands in defense, "My bad boss girl."

"That's Miss Boss Girl to you." Sasha said and we all laughed.

"Oh this is my shit!" Sasha said as, Flex played off of Kevin's phone, "Kevin be listen to this thug music."

"I'm am a thug, thank you." Kevin said while flipping his imaginary hair and we laughed again.

"Sure you are Kevin." I say while catching my breath.

"Um," we all heard a voice say from the door and we all turned to see Summer standing there.

"Look like it's time for me to go back to class." Sasha mumbled before walking out the room while Kevin unhooked his phone.

"What do you need Summer?" I asked her. I noticed that the baby bump was way more than noticeable now.

"I need to check in." She said while switching several text book on her arms, "I just got here from the doctor."

"Do you have a note?" I ask her as I walk over to Mrs.Adams desk and logged in.

"Um," she said while trying to juggle the books, "Yeah."

I watched as she tried to grab the note out of one of the books but ended up dropping all of the books on the floor.

"Here," Kevin said while walking over to her before she could bend down and pick the books up. He stacked them all up and picked them up.

"I can carry them." She said to him.

He shook his head, "I'll take them to your class. You don't need to be carrying heavy things anyway."

Summer sighed but handed be the note and then directed Kevin to her third period class.

I sighed as I signed Summer into the school roll system for today and putting her excuse note in Mrs.Adams tray so she could look at it later.

'Well now I'm bored,' I thought to myself as I spun around in Mrs.Adams chair. Then I thought of the presents that needed to be delivered to the lockers.

I go to the supply closet and pull out a garbage bag full of the small little boxes.

I start separating them by graduating classes so it'll be easier when I go and deliver them to the lockers.

I continue to separate the boxes, finding some of my friends names, but I stopped when I came across mine.

'Me?' I think to myself. I hadn't even thought about my secret Santa. In fact, I really didn't expect to get anything.

'Can open it?' I think to myself as I inspect the small box in my hand. Well, it was my gift. I don't see why not.

I undo the small bow that held the box together and took the lid off of the box, revealing a picture of me, my mum and my dad when I was younger.

I raise a eyebrow as I inspected the picture more. I saw that there was drawings on on dad's face.

"What?" I mumbled aloud as I looked at the picture some more. I had seen this picture before, but it got ripped when my room got destroyed. This one was perfectly put together.

Was this supposed to be funny or a joke or something? Cause it really wasn't... I mean it's just a picture, so what?

I held the picture up to the light and saw that some words were on the back of it. I turned it over and saw a small message.

My Dear Paige, you should have known that you'd have to face me again. I look forward to seeing you in Norwich love. It's been such a long time. I wonder if you're still as beautiful as we always have been? When your here, we will definitely have some catching up to do ;)
Until then,
Sincerely, your real Secret Santa.

I felt my breathing quicken faster and faster with every word I read.

'No,' I think to myself, 'This is a joke, somebody is playing a joke on me.'

I dropped the picture and it fell to the floor as I ran a hand through my hair.

For years I've been trying and trying to treat this situation like a bad dream. Like this voice was just a nightmare...

But this wasn't a dream, or a nightmare... This was reality. This was my reality... And it was catching up to me, weather I wanted it to or not...
