Winter has come. The days became shorter, the nights longer, snow covered the world, and the Christmas break began.

Yes... Christmas.

Everyone enjoyed this time of the year, children received many gifts, families came from all over the world to spend this magical time together, singing carols.

But it was different for you because your parents devoted all their time to work.

Now, you were sitting alone at the table, spending time alone as usual and looking at the Christmas tree you had decorated. It should have been a happy day, but you didn't feel it at all - no presents, no Christmas magic.

Suddenly, you heard the doorbell. You thought for a moment that maybe your parents would come back early so you could spend Christmas Eve together.

You walked up to the door and immediately opened it.

In front of you stood Ryder - your number one enemy from school.

Ryder was always rude to you, making mean jokes and commenting on everything you did.

So seeing him in front of you made you shocked but also curious.

Ryder was dressed in a winter jacket, his hair was covered in white snow, and his nose was a little red from the cold.

Your eyes dropped to his hands, which were holding a Christmas-themed box.

"Merry Christmas, {{user}}." Ryder said with a small smile on his lips.
