16 Plans

Three days went in a flash.They had their exams during the three days.Sandriya helped Jonathan study, as he had missed a lot of classes earlier.Finally,their exams were over and their Christmas Holidays were about to start from the next day.Everyone was so excited."Okay class.Happy holidays and don't forget to finish your assignments"the teacher said and with that everyone started to pack their bags.Jonathan went to Sandriya "Hey Shorty.Can you help me with the assignment?You really helped me a lot in preparing for the exam " he asked.

She glared at him."Well.If you need help with something, learn to be more polite"she said and walked towards the exit.

"Ok.ok.Can you please help me with the assignment?"he asked changing his voice like a kid who wants candy.

"Now.Thats more like it.We can start after Christmas."she said as the four continued to walk out.

"Why not today?"he questioned.

"Because I have to go to work.But if you are that desperate to learn you can ask Cathy to help you.She is really good with reports"she said pointing to Cathy who was walking a little ahead with Elena.

"No.Its fine.I can wait."he said disappointed

"Okay".

The two walked in silence for a while.

"What are you planning to do for Christmas?"she inquired.

"Hmm...I don't have anything planned.How about you?"he asked back.

"Nothing much."she answered.

After thinking something for a moment,She walked fast calling out to Cathy and Elena who were already at the school gate "Hey Cathy,Elena.Wait up"she called out.The two turned and looked at her.

"Do you girls have anything planned for Christmas?"she asked.

"No.why?Is there something you wanna do?"Elena asked

"Great.Then how about we celebrate Christmas together this year.We can all meet in one place,have food together and have some fun.What do you say?"Sandriya said excitedly.

"How about my place?"Jonathan,who had just caught up to her, suggested"There won't be anyone to disturb us at my place.So what do you say?"he asked.Sandriya looked at Cathy and Elena asking for their opinion.

"Its fine with us"they said in one voice.

"Ok.Its settled then.We can meet on Christmas day.Everyone bring something to eat.So we can taste a variety of food.Okay?"She asked overwhelming with excitement.

"Okay."everyone agreed.

"As you girls don't know where my house is yet ,we can gather at the entrance of our school and I will take you to my house.Is that fine?"Jonathan asked.

"Okay"Cathy answered.

"As we are friends now,lets consider it a celebration of our friendship"she said turning to Jonathan.

He was really happy to hear that.

"Sure shorty."he said patting her head gently.

"Why did i even say that?" she facepalmed herself and started walking fast.

"Ok ok i am sorry"he said running behind her to calm her.

"They look cute together.Don't you think?"

"Yeah.They sure do"

Cathy and Elena couldn't help but comment and smile at Sandriya and Jonathan,who had already gone into a distance.They also started walking in the direction of their homes.

After dropping her at the cafe where Sandriya worked,Jonathan was on his way back to his new apartment.Just then a black car rushed past him just inches away from hitting him.Loosing his balance he fell to the ground.But the car didn't even stop.It just drove away.He stood up and brushed the dirt of his shirt.Luckily he was not severly wounded except for a small bruise on his arm.He then continued on his way home.His house was at the 10th level of the apartment.It was not big compared to his huge mansion.It had a hall,a small kitchen,a dinning area and a bed room.It had a balcony and one could clearly see the beach from there and chill breeze always filled the place as it was close to the ocean.The house was well organized and tidy.

He then went to have a shower.Once he was done, he went to the kitchen and made himself a cup of tea and sat on the couch.He then pulled out his mobile and made a call.

"Steve.I need you to make arrangements for a Christmas feast for 4 people here in my apartment.Also buy the best cake.Do you understand?"he informed as he dried his hair with his other hand.

"Yes Master"Steve answered.

"Is it for someone special?"Steve couldn't help but ask ,because he knew very well that Jonathan was never interested in festivities from the time his parents went abroad for business.

"Yeah.Its for my friends.We have planned to hold a celebration"he replied.The very thought of having friends made his heart fill with happiness.He listed a few food orders before disconnecting the call...
