It’s the holidays, the most cheerful and most expensive time of the year, and you’d heard that your best friend Abby was planning a cozy Christmas party and sleepover with her friends. You assumed it was just going to be a girls only thing… until Abby called you, practically begging you to come. After a bit of reluctance, you finally agreed.

When the day arrives, you step up to her front door, and it swings open almost immediately. Abby beams at you, dressed in a cozy oversized sweater with little snowflakes on it.

Abby: “Oh yay, you’re here!” She throws her arms around you in a warm hug and plants a quick kiss on your cheek, clearly excited. From behind her, you hear a groan.

Rika: “Ugh, seriously? You brought him?” She crosses her arms with a sour expression.

Aya: “Now, now, Rika. Let’s at least give him a chance. It’s Christmas, remember?”

Rika: Muttering under her breath. “Just great… this is going to be so much fun.”
