Chapter 1: Winter Break

Institute of Higher Education "Centennial Star".

1:14 p.m.

All the students were counting the seconds that day, some teachers were tempted to let them go hours early so they could go too, if only it had snowed...

Winter vacation began with the dismissal bell.

Some who were sleeping woke up suddenly; others were already at the exit doors, where their parents were waiting for them.

A pair of twins waited outside the doors.

—Jolyne, witch, I told you to wake me up before the bell!—. A girl with dreadlocks and a lot of energy ran out.

—Shut up, I told you I wouldn't do it! —The girl with a lock of dyed green hair immediately responded—. Where are Weather and FF?

—They were both equally asleep, I couldn't wake them up. And don't change the subject.

-I don't-

—How lucky that your class is closer to the door, Jotaro.

-Hmm.

—No smartass comments?

—It wasn't luck.

—Don't talk to him, Ermes, he's in a good mood.

-And so?

—The cherry kissed him goodbye before leaving.

—Aww, cherry pie? Ha, you two never miss a moment.

—Shut up...

—Hey, Guys/Jolyne!—three voices spoke at the same time.

—It's about time you deaf, and you, what are you doing here? —They weren't even in the same class, how did he end up being close to them?

—Jolyne, as I told you before, my parents will have a Christmas party; your invitation

-Hey -Ermes Costello was ignored again.

—Thank you, Anasui, but my parents confirmed to hold the family meeting that I told you about...during the entire vacation. It takes more than two days to go and return.

—Is there no way to make you stay?

—Not this time.

—...Okay, but keep it.

Jolyne agreed smiling.

—I have to go, Jolyne, my sister arrived.

—My family is also waiting for me at home. —Weather Report spoke calmly.

Jolyne looked at him worried.

—Has your brother already been picked up by him?

—Yes, and my sister doesn't stop worrying, although it happens every year...

—He will be back as always after Christmas. —Ermes tried to reassure him.

Everyone looked at each other in agreement.

—Group goodbye hug?—Jolyne asked.

—Group goodbye hug.—The others responded.

Somehow Jotaro was pulled into the hug. Despite continuing to insist that they aren't in the same class, nor are they friends.

Polnareff and Abdul had already hugged him and wished merry Christmas in advance.

Why are Giorno and Josuke taking so long?

—Student Josuke and Haruno!—The voice of a teacher was heard loudly.

Talking about the devil.

The missing cousins appeared at the exit door; they were running towards them without speaking, just smiling satisfied.

Again?

Jolyne and Jotaro joined them in their run, but when they turned around two streets later they started walking.

—I swear, they're going to end up giving Professor Rohan gray hair.

—That's the idea, isn't it, Giorno?

—He looked for it, this time.

—I thought you had already settled differences with him after he helped you catch that serial killer...

—First, we helped him; secondly, we don't do it out of malice, it's more a retribution for all the winter work he just gave us.

—Winter homework is given by all teachers, it's their job, give me a break.

Jotaro spoke sense, but Josuke was already thinking about how to finish his homework as soon as possible to enjoy free time, he will ask Giorno for help.

—Professor Rohan gave more than twice as much homework as the rest...

Giorno defended the point he and Josuke had, as always.

—Anyway, we're here, and we'll talk all vacation, so...See you tomorrow morning, cousins.

—Take care, Jolyne. —Both boys said goodbye.

—Goodbye, Jotaro.

—See you.

...Thus began those winter vacations, which would be the most bizarre of all the previous ones they had....
