A Christmas Gift
By Stella Wilkinson
HOLLY LOVED THE PINETREE Avenue Christmas party. It was the one day of the year when her road seemed like the best road in all of Baybury, the small town where she lived.
Pinetree Avenue was famous for the Christmas street party. Every year stalls were set up, a small band played while carols were sung, and then there were fireworks. The whole neighbourhood attended and Holly felt thrilled that her house was right in the centre of it.
She and her dad had carried the large wooden kitchen table out onto the front lawn and were now dispensing hot chocolate in paper cups to their cold and cheerful neighbours. Holly had also made a huge batch of gingerbread stars, which were going down a storm.
The whole festive scene was so reminiscent of an old-fashioned Christmas card that Holly got out her phone and began to snap endless photos of the revelry around her. She could probably use them in a school project at some point, or maybe the local paper might like some copies. A really traditional English Christmas took some beating.
Then she saw Caleb Jackson and she couldn’t seem to stop herself from making him the focus of every photo.
Caleb lived opposite her, in one of the grander houses on the other side of the Avenue.
As young children they had been close friends, learning to ride their bikes together, playing in the street every day, and in and out of each other’s houses. But by the time they hit their teens they had gone different ways.
Holly knew she was fairly invisible at school. She had strawberry blond hair that she kept pulled back lest it tend to curl, and an ordinary face. She just didn’t stand out in any way. She always felt utterly nondescript and dull, especially surrounded by some of the fashion-plate girls that were in her year. Girls with bouncy golden, red or glossy chestnut hair, girls with curves and long legs and lots of money to spend on cute outfits. Holly might be sixteen, but somehow she always felt she looked like an awkward kid compared to the really popular girls in her year.
Caleb now hung with a group of rowdy boys that were known as the Wolf Pack at school. You had to be seriously cool
