I sighed breathing in the crisp, cold winter air. All around me my classmates were expressing their joy. It was the start of winter break. How could they not be happy. “Emma!” I heard someone call from behind me. I smiled, recognizing the voice. It was my best friend Sami. “Hey Sami!” I exclaimed turning around to face my best friend. “We’re hanging out over the break, right?” she asked eagerly. “No, why would I wanna hang out with you? I said in a joking tone. Apparently, she couldn’t tell I was joking because a heartbroken look crossed her face and she mumbled under her breath, “I guess I’ll see you later then” she said sadly, walking away toward her bus.

I grabbed her shoulder, turning her around to face me. “I was just kidding silly, we’ll be hanging out everyday!” I said enthusiastically. She sighed with relief. “My house tonight, sevenish?” She asked, a big grin plastered onto her face. “See ya there” I said, running toward my bus before they all left.
