Merry Christmas Mr.Wajeski !
( part II )
Back
at school everyone had gone crazy, Jimmy and the guyz were running round
like mistletoe trying to kiss every girl in the hall.
"C' mon Zac,What 's the matter ? " grumbled Jimmy. " You're no fun anymore! "
"Get off my case will you !" I answered grumpily. I learn back on my chair in the dinner hall and dreamed of the day when I'd be untied with my angel .
Suddenly a rude, shrill scream brought me back down to my senses like a ton of weights being dropped of the Empire State Building . It was Cherry.
"Nooooo, I don't want meatloaf you silly woman , I'm a vegetarian and I asked for mushroom medley! " The poor cook was so embarrassed and apologised profusely to Cherry.
"Oh , don't worry about it , I'd be better off picking my own mushroom from outside," She snapped. And with that she turned on her heel and called to her friend to follow her, " Come on Lucky, Let's go ." Wow , I couldn't believe my ears, I'd found out my angel's name it was Lucky. If only my Christmas wish would come true, that I'd be lucky too and be granted a date with my dream girl .
I spent the whole day repeating Lucky over and over to myself and devising a plan of how I'd ask her for a date. I 'd decided that I'd catch her at the lockers at the end of the day and if she was still in Cherry's clutches I'd have the guy cause a diversion while i dropped a note into her pocket.The damn perfect Cherry, why they make someone like her to look after all the freshmen (that's newcomer) is beyond me. The day dragged on so slowly and reminded me of what it was like waiting for Santa Claus to arrive when I was little - an eternity. Finally, 3.30 came around and the school bell chimed but was immediately drowned out by everyone thundering down the corridor. Instead I made my way slowly to the lockers, my heart pounding so hard that i thought if i opened my mouth to speak it would pop out and bounce down the corridor and out into the Christmassy night.
"Thank god," I thought as I saw Lucky filling her beg with the contents of her lockers. I guickened my pace but before I arrived who should appear but Mr. Wajeski. I couldn't hear what they were talking about but Mr Waj seemed to have taken a shine too her . Well, at least it wasn't Cherry, I thought . Mr Waj made his way to the water fountain, so it was now or never.
"Erm, um , er, Lucky" I whisphered, " how would you like to ... " But before i could blurt it out Cherry's voice took over, hollering down the corridor as she marched towarded towards us. " Lucky! Lucky! Come over here now ! " she screamed.
"No Cherry ,YOU go to the hall now!" yelled Mr Wajeski. "There are freshers waiting to be taken to the gym!"
Wow! I'd never heard old Waj shout like that ! I composed myself and turn back to Lucky .
"Lucky would you go to the Christmas dance with me? " Lucky looked up and peered over my head in the direction of Mr.Wajeski. I turned aroung and could have sworn I saw Mr Waj nod, but I just dismissed it .
"Yes, I'd love to ! " was the sweet answer that rooled off her tongue. And with that we made arrangement to meet the next night . I was in heaven, ' Wait till I tell the guys' I thought.
I spent hours and hoursthe next day pruning and preening myself, much to the amusement of my mom. i felt sorry for mom. Since dad died she'd been really lonely and Christmas wasn't a time to be on your own. Still, she'd been visiting one of her friend's a lot lately so perhaps she'd go over there tonight after she'd dropped me at Lucky's. I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. What would we talk about ? Would we get on ? Mom pulled out of the driveway and we sat off on our 10 minites journey through the snow. Never before had I felt so much Christmas sprit and had to stop myself from lauching into a special rendition of Jingle Bells.
We reached Lucky's house and I bounded up the path, careful not to slip on the icy crazy - paving, and pressed the bell . Lucky open the door and my , did she look fantastic.
"Wow, you look absolutely gorgeous," I said ,unable to stop myself. Her green eyes were smiling as she yelled back into the warm glow of the house." See you later,Dad !" And with that she took my hand and led me back down the path. " Where's your mom ? Oh sorry , I don't mean to pry," I said, already wanting to know everything about her.
"Oh, that's all right ," she said sweetly, "Mom moved to England and i don't want to go so i came to live with Dad."
My heart nearly melted and i was lost for words so I slipped my arm around her shoulders and she snuggled up close as we made our wayto the dance. I could tell already that I'd be having the best Christmas of my life.
As they turned the corner, Zac's mom ,Davina checked her make - up in the car mirror, climbed out and made her way up the path of Lucky's house and rang the bell. Moments later Mr.Wajeski opened the door and with a generous smile welcomed Davina in .
"Well, that's all worked out rather well hasn't it, darling? " he exclaimed.
"Yes, indeed it has, Bob. Let's just hope they're as happy for us as we are for them." And with that Mr.Wajeski, Lucky's dad , took Davina's hand and led her to the door of the main room over which hung a huge bunch of mistletoe. They both looked up and laughed.
