It was study hall and Fiona Coyne sat diligently at her desk as she reviewed some of her coursework. She would switch her gaze between her textbook and her notes to be certain that she had down the most important notes, considering her teacher would sometimes leave out vital information in an attempt to get the students to actually read the chapters and not just focus on the broken down PowerPoint presentations. Typically Fiona would spend her study halls with her girlfriend, Imogen Moreno, however, a couple classes prior to study hall, Fiona had sent a text message to Imogen explaining to her that she'd have to go into one of the teacher's classrooms to actually be able to focus during that time.
Fiona quickly grew bored as she realized her teacher gave all of the students a break this week and put up every significant detail into the presentations. She sighed out of relief, but also frustration because as she lifted her gaze to peer at the clock she realized there was still about twenty minutes left of the study period and she figured by now Imogen would have been bouncing around the halls, taking photos outdoors or in the art rooms creating something unique. Fiona sighed once more and rested her elbow on the desk, turning her hand upward and gently rested her chin on her hand. She slowly shut her eyes, her last look of the classroom consisting of only a few more students sitting spaced out whom also were studying quietly, and attempted to drift off to sleep.
Only a couple minutes into her nap, which to her felt like two hours had passed, Fiona snapped awake after feeling some nudges, her arm sliding off the desk (nearly making her face plant onto the wooden surface) and a weight fall onto her lap. Fiona groggily opened her eyes as she searched what disturbed her rest, only to see a bubbly Imogen smiling and giggling, sitting on her lap. Fiona was taken aback when Imogen began speaking considering she wasn't prepared for all her peppy, high-pitched voice.
"Greetings sleepyhead Coyne!" Imogen beamed, letting her fingers run through her girlfriend's curls. She leaned forward slightly, placing a soft kiss onto Fiona's forehead. "Happy almost four month anniversary!"
At Imogen's last sentence, Fiona's eyes inflated to the size of saucers. She shook away the nerves for a moment to flash her signature smile and nodded along. "Yeah, happy almost anniversary babe!" Crap. Time has gone by so fast and although Fiona herself was counting down the days until their anniversary, she still hadn't found the perfect gift to give Imogen.
Imogen perked up, bouncing in Fiona's lap, her smile plastered onto her face. "I can't wait for tomorrow! I'm just so excited to give you my gift. It's not too extravagant and I didn't put lots of money into it but it came from the heart. I hope you love it as much as I do, I almost kept the darned thing for myself!"
Fiona continued smiling and nodding along as Imogen spoke, nearly passing out at the thought of only really having the rest of the day to find the perfect gift. "I'm sure I'll love it Imogen." Fiona shifted her gaze around the room to get any inspiration of what to give the most amazing person she's dated yet, only to come out empty.
Just then Fiona came out of her trance as Imogen poked her nose to get her attention. "Are you okay, Fifi? You seem a little off." Nearly choking on the fact that she was running out of time, Fiona was able to cough out a sentence. "Yeah, I'm fantastic."
Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Saved by the bell. Study hall was over and Imogen floated up from Fiona's lap, holding out her hand to her girlfriend. "Let's go, soul mate. We've got a date with destiny. Aka, our next class together." Keeping the static smile on her face, Fiona hesitated to stand up. She grabbed her purse and slid it onto her shoulder, fumbling her fingers with Imogen when she couldn't quite grab onto it as smoothly and naturally as they've come to master. With no more words exchanged, the pair made their way to their next class leaving Fiona a nervous wreck and Imogen perplexed about the curly-haired beauty's strange behavior.
