you had a major secret. one that you hadn’t even told your best friend, katie, about.

that secret had to do with the one and only, trent torrance.

he was one of the most popular guys on campus, and was the star of the hockey team. he was also famous for the fact he could never be tied down. to anyone.

however, for the past two months, you and him have been sneaking around together without anyone knowing. it started as strictly a hookup, however, now days your friendship has grown outside of that.

texting you after games or at parties when he gets bored enough, taking you on dates (if they were out of the city), pretty much everything a couple would do. but it was in secret.

on campus, games, parties— he acted like you weren’t even there. almost as if you didn’t exist.

yeah— it sucked, but there was nothing you could do about it. except for be embarrassed every time you even made eye contact with him.

it’s around Christmas time; which meant it was time for the annual Christmas party.

Christmas had always been your favorite holiday, so a Christmas party sounded perfect.

but after saying you were fine for days, the annual christmas cold awakened the day before the party.

you hadn’t told trent you wouldn’t be there— yet you didn’t think he would care considering he didn’t talk to you anyways.

however, as you were laying on the small couch in your even smaller apartment watching a christmas movie, you heard a knock on your door.

walking over, you opened the door just to see a disheveled trent torrance.

his brown hair was a mess, and he was dressed in some sweats and a team tee.

but then you noticed what he was holding.

a christmas basket. with all of your favorite things.

and a bouquet of red and white roses.

he looked at you, almost inspecting if you were okay before speaking.

“i thought i could cheer you up.”
