Well this was just wrong. Naya was supposed to be on a beach right now, not wearing her Christmas jammies for a sleepover in the Great Hall. Under different circumstances, she might see the fun in this activity, Right now though, nope. Not feeling it. Naya wanted to be home, eating her mom’s awesome cooking and enjoying her family. Alas, it was not to be and for that reason, she was extremely bummed. The only positive note was that she got to spend time with Cole.

Cole. As Naya approached him, she saw the look on his face. She had never seen him look so sad. “Hey!”, she said, trying to sound upbeat. “I bet these cookies aren’t as good as yours” Naya managed a smile. Then she said seriously, “Are you ok?” He certainly didn’t seem to be. Naya tried to take Cole’s mind and her mind off of things. “Come on. Maybe we can find something to do. Do you want to decorate one of the trees?” Maybe if they kept busy, they wouldn’t have as much time to think about home.
