An Unfolded Surprise
Chapter One - Secret Santa
After the dewy sunrise, the silent sound in my room lingered through out the house causing complete silence. A gust of wind came rushing in from the window making me pull up the covers a bit more. A sudden ring from the phone startled me and so I rushed out of my bed to answer it. A familiar voice greeted me with a hello.
"Who's this?" I wondered.
"Hey Sor, you awake yet? Oh, this is Matt."
"Oh, hey. Uh, yeah I am. But not fully awake though." I replied with a quiet laugh.
"Alright, so you know that Christmas party that I'm going to host on Saturday right? Well are you coming? All of us are going to meet at the mall to see who we got for the Secret Santa thing. What do you say?"
"Sure, I would love to. From there, I could go shopping for my gift just in case." I giggled.
"Okay Sor, meet you in an hour. See ya." Then he hanged up.
I felt some sort of energy shock run through my veins that made me jump and laugh out loud. I quickly went to the bathroom and took a ten minute shower. From there, I grabbed some clothes and changed. I was a bit shocked when I found five shirts and five pairs of pants still having tags on them in my walking closet. Then I spotted a baby blue butterfly clip with some gem stone sequences which matches the earrings on the top left shelf of my closet. I put those on, grabbed my bag, and left a note on the fridge. I quickly put on my coat and headed to my silver Porsche and from there, drove to the Odaiba Mall. When I finally got there, I was shocked that Matt was waiting for me at the entrance. I quickly shot out of my car and sped walked toward him. He greeted me with a smile and handed me a hat.
"What's this?" I wondered.
"Remember, Secret Santa. Ring a bell much?" He replied.
"Oh, man I feel so dumb."
I reached into the hat and plunked out a couple strips of paper until I only held one resting on my hand. I unfolded the piece of paper and written on it was the name Mimi. Well that's a switch, every time we do Secret Santa, Mimi always picks me. Matt pulled out a piece of paper from the hat and put it in his coat pocket without even taking a look to whom he has gotten.
"So, what do you want to do?" Matt all of the sudden said in bewilderment.
"Oh, I don't know. Let's go to Starbucks (not mine) and get a cup of latte. I guess."
"Sure, I guess it wouldn't hurt."
So the two of us went to Starbucks (not mine) and got ourselves a cup of coffee. Matt was kind enough to pay for my order. He's not like other guys who just say, Oh, I'm sorry babe. I don't have any money on me right now. Can you pay for me? I promise I'll pay you back later. Yeah, that pretty much is a typical guy who cares about himself too much. Just when I was about to sit down on a chair, Mimi rushed into the coffee shop and dropped her hand in the hat to pick out a Secret Santa person. I saw the reaction in her face and I guess she realized that it wasn't me she picked.
"So, who did you get for your Secret Santa?" I questioned.
She leaned over a whispered to me that she got Joe as her Secret Santa.
"Really? You did? Huh, well, that's a first..."
"First what?" She said looking all confused, "Oh, I get it. Ha, yeah... I'm slow."
"Sure you are."
Then all of the sudden Tai comes up and starts this whole loud conversation with Matt.
"You know, we could hear every single word your saying Tai." I told him.
"I know, and what's your point?" He asked.
Whatever was my single word in reply.
I left my seat, but I paused to thank Matt on the coffee. He just nodded his head and went on talking to Tai. I browsed around the mall to see what I could get Mimi. Money? Clothes? Jewelry? For the first time in the history of shopping, I had totally blanked out on what Mimi had interest on. Then I spotted a bag for sale which matched an outfit that would perfectly fit to Mimi's style. I went right in Macy's (not mine) and took a peek on the price of the bag. It wasn't that shocking since the bag was in for sale. I could buy her a blouse and earrings and that could be it. So I went to the Service Center and bought the merchandise for Mimi's gift.
I exited the department store and headed to my car. Suddenly, I spotted Mimi carrying her gift for Joe. You know, the whole Secret Santa thing. Maybe this Christmas will turn out well, if everything works out. Reaching for my car keys in my bag, I recognized that there was something on the roof of my car. I zoomed toward it and picked it up. The tag said - TO SORA FROM YOUR SECRET... - and that's all what it said. I froze holding the box just in front of me. I tore it open and saw a magnificant necklace that had my name on it and right in the middle was my birthstone. A tear came down my cheek and landed on the necklace. I put it on and just wondered who gave it to me. Is it my Secret Santa? Well that can't be since Christmas is in a week from now. Who gave this to me? That's practically the question for today.
"Hey Mimi, you can't believe what happened to me or what I got."
"What? Something from Matt I bet..."
"Possibly, I mean I got a necklace that has my name and birthstone on it. Do you know who it could be?"
"I don't know. Tai? I mean he has a crush on you and probably he gave it to you so it can be a possibility."
"Well, it only said, To Sora from you Secret...""
"Secret what?"
"I don't know. That's all that it said."
"Maybe it's that stalker guy in our French class." Mimi predicted.
"Well, I don't know. Maybe there's something in the back of the necklace." I replied checking the back of the necklace.
"Okay, well is there anything?"
"NO, just the letters ILS - YMI. Do you have any idea who that is or what the hell it means?"
"I have like no idea. Sorry Sor."
"It's okay. I mean neither of us knows what it means. Later."
I hung up the phone thinking on the bed what ILS - YMI could possibly mean. Initials? Meaningful? I bit my lip and then the phone suddenly rung. Some weird familiar saying spoke.
"ILS YMI, Your Secret..."
So like that's it so far. Like it? If you do then review. I'll promise to reply. So like I guess that's it for now. Until next time, yup yup. Review?
