My Christmas Wishlist pt 4; “The more the merrier.”


There was a knock at the door and Fedora jumped up again, “I invited some friends, I hope that’s okay.”
Harriette shrugged as Fedora ran to the door. Really it was not okay with Harriette, she was hoping they could hang out with Collin and have fun. She did not like Fedora’s friends, especially Sacia.
Sacia hated Harriette for “kicking her and her friends out of the Populars,” which Harriette never did. They left on their own.
“Hey,” Sacia said, Fedora had just brought her into the living room.
“Hello,” Harriette’s mom said.
“I hope you don’t mind,” Fedora said.
“Of course not,” Harriette’s mom said, “the more the merrier.”

Sacia smiled at her and took a seat on the couch.
“Did you invite anyone else?” Harriette asked.
‘“Yeah, AeGuk,” Fedora said.
“Oh,” Harriette said. Fedora’s boyfriend was also coming, this meant that Harriette would get no time to hang out with Fedora. She had purposely not invited DaeRi so that they could hang out, DaeRi had no idea that they were secret friends.
Finn and Willow were staring at Sacia, but Sacia had not noticed she was too busy staring at the tree with a bitterly. What was wrong with her anyway?
“Hello,” Willow said hesitantly.
“What?” Sacia snapped.
Sacia did not reply, Harriette poked her.
“Willow said hello,” Harriette said.
“Who’s Willow?” Sacia asked.
“Her little sister,” Fedora said.
“Oh, her?” Sacia said staring at Willow.
“Yeah,” Fedora said.
“Hi,” Sacia said to Willow.
Willow smiled shyly, “what’s your name?”
“Sacia,” Sacia said.
“Pretty,” Finn said.
“You’re pretty,” Willow said.
“Thank you,” Sacia said, amused.
“Can I brush your hair?” Willow asked.
Sacia laughed, “you want to brush my hair?”
“Yeah,” Finn said.
“It’s long,” Willow said.
“And straight,” Finn said.
“Um, well...” Sacia said, looking at Fedora who just shrugged. “Okay?”
“Yay,” Willow said, she got up and ran upstairs to get a brush.
Harriette ran her hand through her hair, Finn and Willow had never asked to brush her hair. So what if it was curly, curly hair is fun too.
Harriette noticed Fedora looking at her, she looked like she wanted to tell her something. Harriette sighed and said she needed something to drink and Fedora quickly agreed. They both walked into the kitchen.
“What’s up?” Harriette asked.
“Please be nice to Sacia,” Fedora said.
Harriette crossed her arms, ”what do you mean?”
“Sacia having family problems,” Fedora said, “so be nice to her.”
“Was I not being nice to her?” Harriette asked, could Fedora read her mind?
“You were just in there giving her the evil eye,” Fedora said.
“I did not realise,” Harriette shrugged.
“Just be nice to her,” Fedora said. She opened the fridge and took out a can of coke. “Please?”
“Why would I not be?” Harriette said taking a can of diet coke.
“I don’t know,” Fedora said sarcastically, “because you guys hate each other.”
“Well, why’d you invite her then?” Harriette said.
“I thought it might cheer her up,” Fedora said, taking a peek into the living room, “and by the looks of it, it is.”
Harriette looked over Fedora’s shoulder, Willow was brushing Sacia’s hair and Finn was putting a bunch of clips in it and Sacia was laughing.
“Okay,” Harriette said, she didn’t want Fedora to be mad at her so she did not have a choice. Plus she knew what it felt like to have family problems, Harriette’s dad died last year and one of her brothers were pretty much throwing his life away and sometimes her mom could get stressed about that.
“Thanks,” Fedora said, leaving the kitchen. Harriette hung back and glanced out the window, it looked like Lizzie had just arrived.
