I let Carmen wind a crimson scarf around my neck, her green eyes coruscating in the faint light that the lamp gives off. Outside, snow flurries can be seen, each flake made of beautiful crystals. I turn away from the window and land my gaze on Carmen. Because, I have to admit, she does look nice.

"Stop fidgeting." She tells me, rolling her eyes and leaning closer to fasten the wool around my neck. "It won't stay on if you do." I'm tempted to continue jiggling around, but instead I still long enough for her to finish her task. "There." The hickory-haired girl smiles, a rosy tint visible on her face. "You look stunning."

I tug at the scarf. It doesn't fall down, which impresses me enough to try and ignore the pain of dressing officially for once. For this entire holiday, I have been decked out in tracksuits, which doesn't exactly fit me as a very dressy kind of person. This is Carmen's way of telling me that we still need to live life like ordinary people. Which we are, of course. Partially.

"How do you know?" I twist around, the white skirts of the outfit falling down. "I could look terrible in red. You never know." She slips her hand in mine, leaning against my shoulder in an almost bored fashion. It looks kind of humorous, actually, once you take into account that she is taller than me. "I'm your girlfriend, Ro- Jennifer, I mean. I know that you look amazing." She pauses for effect. "Plus, I happen to be amazing at fashion."

"Oh yeah, of course." I chuckle, her warmth welcome.
