Charli Savage was an odd girl; even the easiest things excited her. And since it was the week before Christmas, she was exploding with excitement. To express this joy, she decided to volunteer at a local homeless shelter, and then go Christmas caroling. Caroling however, is no fun when you’re alone, so to solve this issue, she decided to bother her dear friend, Devin Kong.

“Let’s see…16…17…ah here we are. 1839 Mango Street.” She grinned.

Charli skipped over to his door, and knocked. Within seconds a very tired looking Devin appeared. Charli frowned. “You look as if you just woke up.”

Devin chuckled, “That’s because five minutes ago, I was asleep. Anyway Charli why are you up so early? It’s Winter break. “

Charli shook her head, “Just because it’s Winter break doesn't mean I should sleep in. Now get dressed, there’s a homeless shelter that needs our assistance.” Devin blinked, “Fine.”

Michelle Casey was always slightly out of control. With her being the president, and founder of the Ashily Stalker Club, she was almost always working to find more reasons why Emily should date Ashton, instead of Derek. And somewhere during that process she dragged two friends along, Taylor and Quinn. They were so devoted to that club, in fact, they might have loved Ashily as much as she did.

Emily Bailey was her best friend. Well, best friend on friendship hiatus. They had a fight…again. The holidays usually bring people together in unexpected ways, but it seemed as if it were driving Michelle and Emily apart.

Emily picked up the phone and dialed Taylor.

“Tay, you’re having a party today, right?” Emily questioned.

“Yep. I was thinking about around two-ish. Why?”

“Well…I was wondering if you were going to invite Michelle…I’m still mad at her.” Emily pouted.

Taylor stuttered, “U-uh…well, I already invited her. “

“Oh.”

“Hey you’re still coming right?”

“Yeah I guess.

They arrived at the homeless shelter by 11:00 am. Charli was grinning ear to ear. The holidays have always excited her. Without warning, she burst through the door eagerly wanting to help people. Devin however lagged behind. This upset her quite a lot.

“I thought he would have been excited to volunteer with me…” she muttered under her breath.

She shook her head, and decided to focus on the task at hand: helping the homeless.

“Yes, here you are sir. Would you like for me to sing you a Christmas song before you eat?” Charli grinned.

The man shook his head, “This meal is good enough. “

Charli sighed, “Oh, okay. It’s time for me to time out anyway. I hope you enjoy your meal!”

Charli nods and takes off her apron; she turns her head to check on Devin, expecting him to be asleep. However, she was pleasantly surprised. He was fixing a little boy’s toy. She smiles and walks over.

“Well this is been an unproductive day. I didn't even get to sing any Christmas carols.” Charli frowns.

She shrugs, “Oh well, I guess no one likes Christmas carols anymore. You can go home if you want.” She pouts and starts to walk to the door. Devin get’s up and runs after her.

“You can sing me a Christmas carol.”

Charli grins.
