Chapter 275: Snowball Fight

Nina

It started snowing heavily that morning before we had even finished training the recruits for the day. In fact, it snowed so heavily that there were already two feet of snow on the ground by noon. Because of the deep snow and cold weather, the dean wound up canceling classes for the remainder of the day, and I decided to just go home to study for the rest of the afternoon and the evening since finals were only a couple of days away.

For the rest of the day, I spent my time studying with Lori and Jessica, who made hot cocoa and started putting up Christmas decorations. Normally we would have gone home for the holidays, but the dean made an exception that semester and was allowing students to stay in their dorms at no extra cost between the fall and spring semesters. Therefore, Lori, Jessica and I were going to be staying in our dorms for Christmas, and I was excited to spend the holiday with my best friends.

“Those stupid Crescents may have tried to take everything, but they won’t take Christmas from us,” Jessica said as she hung up a garland in the window. “I won’t let them.”

Lori and I both smiled. “That’s what I love about you,” Lori said, handing Jessica a pushpin for her garland. “You’re always so optimistic.”

Jessica bent down and gave Lori a kiss on the lips. I quickly looked away, but it secretly made me happy to see my two best friends still in a happy relationship together. It did feel as though things were going to work out for everyone in the end.

The three of us studied and decorated for a while longer before I decided to head to my room to study alone.
