Jackie: AKA Santa Claus
"Hi Mrs. Stokes." One of Jackie's former students told her in the hallway.
"Hi Sam, how are you?" Jackie asked.
"Good." He said but Jackie could tell he didn't really mean it.
"What's wrong bud?" She asked.
"We put up our Christmas tree this weekend." He told her.
"Well what's wrong with that?" She asked.
"There are no presents under it." He said sadly.
That broke Jackie's heart, Jackie knew that he was being raised by a single mother, and although she always had money for the things he needed she knew they didn't have money for many extra fun things.
"I bet there will be soon." She told him.
"Maybe." He said.
She smiled at him.
"I better go to lunch Mrs. Stokes, see you later."
"Bye buddy, enjoy your lunch." She said.
He gave her one last hug before he disappeared down the hallway.
There would in fact be presents under his tree if Jackie had anything to say about it, the only problem was Jackie wasn't sure what a boy that age would like and Houston was too young to offer her ideas for boys Sam's age but Jackie knew someone who could give her some ideas.
After school was out for the day Jackie got out her cell phone and dialed the number she wanted.
