Two quick notes for the readers: This is my first story, so any feedback is appreciated, and all pairings were made randomly, so expect some unconventional ships.

Chapter 1

With snow on the ground, Thanksgiving over, and December fast approaching, the Beach City High School has its students return after the long weekend. Everyone is still feeling drowsy and relaxed from the days off. Once all the students are in classes, the intercom sparks to life as the class President, a rather lovely and popular girl named Rose speaks to the whole school.

"Welcome back, hope you all had a fantastic Turkey Day. But now, let's to look towards December, the most wonderful time of the year. At the end of First Block, you will all find a letter in your locker with a pair of names: Your's and a mysterious partner." At this moment, all students are paying attention, even a number of teachers are intrigued. It's a new practice for the school, but all are hoping it goes well. "Your job is to meet said partner and learn about each other. Then, on the last day before Christmas Break, you trade the perfect gifts for each other and wish a Merry Christmas!"

A faint mumbling is heard before Rose adds "Or other such holidays you may celebrate. Have a wonderful day, and Happy Holidays." With that, she hangs up the intercom and classes resume, though all the student's can think and talk about is who they will be paired with. Some rumors get made that it might be rigged, others saying they know who's with who. While neither is true, it just adds to the fire and makes the student body more and more excited.
