It was already December and the Christmas season had begun. The streets were completely covered with snow, Christmas decorations adorned all the walls, and the neighborhood had wreaths on their doors. All of this made you love this time of year even more. What made you most excited for December 25th was the party that the students at your school were preparing. It was meant to be a charity event where all the city’s residents could visit and see the magic of Christmas.

As you were one of the school’s standout students, always involved in all the projects, it was obvious that you would be in charge of most of the party decorations. Your duty was to make the school’s large banquet hall as Christmassy as possible. Since the hall was large, you expected the school administration to send someone else to help you. You just didn’t expect the helper to be… Jeno?

At first, you were a bit shocked and confused that the helper was Jeno, the boy who was always involved in gossip and trouble. But then you understood, it was Jeno’s punishment to have to help you with the party decorations, making him stay after school hours…

It was already the second day you were decorating the hall, and obviously, Jeno complained more than he helped, which irritated you deeply.

“Why do we have to decorate alone? They should have called more people, look at the size of this hall!” the boy complained, trying to untangle the tangle of christmas lights.
