One of their friends is very confident and strides up to a certain girl, amongst a crowd of others and the rest of the boys just follow along. She can’t say many words and is fascinated by shiny things, so Christmas is a great time for her. She loves her old purple shoes and won’t wear her boots or anything else. He loves his little sister and helps his mum in any way he can with her.

He has been working so hard in a Christmas tree stall, to help support his mum and their family. He is persuaded to go by his friends, who won’t let him refuse and come to pick him up, and his mum who wants him to join his pals and have a bit of fun. It’s being held to raise money for Cancer research on behalf of a teacher who is fighting cancer at the time.

His friends have come to his house as normal and are trying to persuade him to go to the Christmas dance at their high school. Aiden’s mum is a single parent to him and his ten year old sister Krystal who has a mental age well below her age from birth, having lost her husband to a sudden death when Aiden was ten. A sweet Christmas tale of young love between sixteen year old Rylee, an only child from a well off family, and seventeen year old Aiden, from the poorer side of town.
