I smoothed my shirt down and looked at the clock, 6:37, we'd have to leave soon if we didn't want to be late, but Vic still isn't ready yet... He is such a girl... We're going to a Christmas party at Tony's Uncle and Aunt's house. I'm a bit nervous because we haven't really told people about or relationship yet, but in the same sense I'm excited because I haven't really seen him since break started earlier this week.

"Ready to go loser?" Vic asked, running down the hallway.

I rolled my eyes before standing up and following him out the door.

"Excited?" he asked, as I got in the car.

"Of course," I responded, "I haven't seen Tony in a few days. He's been really busy."

"I know you haven't, that's why I asked," he said, a hint of attitude in his voice. Is he pmsing or something?

Neither of us said anything the rest of the drive, it was only about 5 minutes. When we got there, his driveway was full of expensive looking cars, Vic's fixer-upper looked out of place. Tony said that his was a work party, but his Uncle had allowed him and Austin to invite a few friends so they weren't lonely.

We walked up the driveway and knocked on the front door. After about 30 seconds or so Tony opened the door. I felt a grin creep up to face as I looked at his always smiling face. He stepped outside and shut the door behind him before jumping in my arms.

"I missed you," he whispered.

"I missed you too," I whispered back, wrapping my arms around his waist.

He pulled back and kissed me. I moved my arms from his waist to around his neck, pulling him closer.

Then the door opened. Tony and I both jumped back about 3 feet and tryed to act natural. Austin's laugh filled the cool evening air, "You guys really would've been screwed if it wasn't me..." he said, "You guys aren't really that stealthy."

Vic laughed, while Tony and I both awkwardly scooted closer to each other.

"Come on," Tony said, "Let's go inside."

He shoved Austin back into the house before going in himself. Vic followed, leaving me alone on the porch for a moment before I went inside also.

The inside of their house was very modern looking, it was obvious they had a lot of money and weren't afraid to show. It's not like I haven't been here before, having a long standing friendship with Austin and all. Everything was decorated very smartly for Christmas, lights, garland and a large tree. Nothing was over the top.

"Victor! Michael! Good to see you boys!" Mr. Carlile exclaimed, walking towards us, wine glass in hand.

"Hello Mr. Carlile," Vic said, smoothly, he's always been good talking to adults. Something I've never been able to master.

"I heard that your parents have left you here to spend the holidays in the Bahamma's," he said, "That doesn't seem quite fair."

"It is what it is," Vic said, sighing.

Vic continued making small talk with Mr. Carlile, but I wasn't paying much attention. I was to focused on the bleach blonde bombshell getting awefully flirty with one Tony Turtle. I felt a pit forming in my stomach. Itoldyouitwouldn'tlast. I was taken back by the return of the voice. I felt sick to my stomach. I knew I should look away, but I couldn't.

"Like what you see Michael?" Mr. Carlile said, chuckling, "That's Stephanie, the daughter of a very high-scale client of mine. I origanally invited her so Austin could get in good with her family, but it seems like she chose Tony instead..."

I hated her. She's after my Tony and I hated her. I walked away from Vic and Mr. Carlile and sat down on the couch. I put my head in my hands and tried to breath, it was becoming very difficult.

"Oh look Tony! Misletoe!"
