Gr. 7, SPS
On Christmas Eve,
You stay up late
For Santa Claus to come,
You wait.
The stockings are hung
By the fires red glow,
To wait for Ruldolph to come

And fall asleep,
And when you wake up
There are presents to keep.
and if me and Jen still wanted to come
(which we don't if mom and dad aren't
there) that it would be okay with her. I think
I'll just stay around campus but I admit that
I'd rather go swim with Jaws than stay
here. But I guess I'm stuck With studYing."
You mean you going to throw away
weeks of fun and study. Your crazy!"
"Yes I am, unless — you have a better
idea Cheryl?" Now Jessica was grinning
from ear to ear. because she knew Cheryl
would come up with poinething.
• "Well?" said Jessica, "do you have
something in that brilliant head of yours?"
•'"Qf course Ido!" Cheryl replied haughti-
ly. "Scone of uaare going down to Florida. If
you want you can join us!"
• "Reilly I'd love to. you knew you've real- '
ly outdone yourself this time Cheryl."
Later the two girls sat down with some
Qthet girls like Amy Fetch, Kim Field, Lisa
Tumel and a few others. They decided they
Would fly down.. It only cost $300 and each
paid for her own ticbet. When they got to
Florida they would rent a car: If all of them
put in $100 each, the total would be 1800.
I decided I'd ask Jen for the money. That
was one good thing about Jen. She, was
always there when you needed her, especial-
ly for money. And since _I spent all my'
money on clothes and makeup I•barely had
$100.
"Hey!. but when are we going to leave?"
asked Kim.
• We decided we were going to leave the day
after we got off of school..
The next day I went into Jan's room and
asked her if I could borrow some money. (I
had $100 dollars, Christmas present money
and since I hadn't bought the present yet I
was using it to buy myself 1 great big
Christmas present which was going to
Florida of -course).
"What for?" asked Jen.
• Wella bunch of us were planning on going
down to Florida for the winter break." I
answered.
"Hmin, well I guess you could .borrow
$200, because I'll just barely have $300 left
after I buy Christmas Presents. I'm sorry I
•can't give you more. I can't help, but from
wondering but aren't you going home."
"Nope! and either are you, because there
was a change in plans and mom's in.

• Jen went to her dresser opened the third
dresser drawer and came back with $200.
Jess took the money, and went back to her
room to start packing:
Inthe morning all 8 girls were up at the
crack of dawn. Jess was just putting Pins in
her hair, when Cheryl walked in.
• ."Aren't you ready yet, you Should be
finished putting up your hair and
downstairs, come on movelt!" said Cheryl.
"Okay, Fm coming! I'm-coming.-Doret

Jess picked up ..her bags and went

her friends and Jen of course.

what you are doing here?
"Oh, I just thought I'd visit my sister.
How about asking me in."
And without even being asked my sister
barged in, and sat down on my unmade bed.
"Well you sure are making yourself at

this morning.
Jen gave Jessa comforting hug.- "But
what made you come here anyway."
' "Well since you were here nobody was go-
ing to be at home, so I came here, replied
Jen.
"How did you get the money. You said you
couldn't loan me $300 cause you were saving
for Christmas presents."
"You see I was saving money for
Christmas Presents but since you weren't

Christmas together, even though mom &

Present." answered Jen.
