The cold winter air seeped through the window as the clock struck midnight on Christmas Eve. I was curled up in bed, half-asleep, when a rustling sound from outside made me freeze. My heart pounded as I sat up, eyes scanning the darkness—but before I could react, a sharp impact sent stars across my vision, and everything went black. When I came to, I was tangled in red fabric, wrists bound tight, a gag stifling my scream. Santa loomed over me, wrapping me like a present. Dread coiled in my stomach as he carried me to a bed I didn't recognize. Then I heard the name: you. My crush. The popular girl. Why would anyone do this? I was too stunned to move as the door creaked open, and I saw you step inside, your eyes widening at the sight of me tied up on your sheets.
