Mitchie came into school that morning to discover a small blue package on her desk.
She lightly ripped it open wondering what was contained in the white box.
She gasped a bit finding a glittering snowflake.
She picked it up and laughed a bit seeing whoever gave it to her left the price tag on.
She smiled tearing off the small target sticker that had 4.99 printed on it.
And she pretended like she didnt see that.
She snaked the thin chain around her neck letting it softly fall on her chest.
She played with the snowflake.
Smiling.
–
Shane smiled watching her play with the snowflake.
It had taken his whole weeks worth of allowance.
But it had been worth it.
Her smile was so big.
Brilliant.
Shiny.
He loved it.
He just wished that she had read the small note he wrote in sharpie on the back of the snowflake.
He sighed a bit knowing she would never see it.
But that was okay with him.
For now of course.
–
Her mom stared at the snowflake as Mitchie bounded up to her.
"Mitchie who gave that to you?"
"I dont know."
Her eyes widened a bit.
"Oh well..."
She pouted at her mom.
"Let me keep it. Please. I love it."
She sighed knowing fighting Mitchie would be futile.
"Okay Mitchie."
Mitchie smiled at her brightly.
"Thank you."
She sighed.
What had she just done.
She ahd let her daughter take a gift from a stranger.
She had no idea how this would end.
She just hoped it wouldnt end terribly.

Shanes mom wasnt happy with him.
"Shane you were supposed to save up your allowance so that you could buy that art kit you wanted."
He stared at the ground.
"Im sorry mommy."
she sighed.
He had gone behind her back.
With her ex.
To get a necklace.
"Wheres the necklace Shane. We are returning it."
He softly muttered something she couldnt hear.
"What Shane?"
"I dont have it."
"What do you mean!"
"I gave it to a girl."
His mom groaned.
"Why Shane. Why?"
"It was the same girl I asked you to make the cookie for."
"No more of spending your money when you want something important to you. Okay?"
He didnt give her the answer she wanted.
"It wasnt wasting money because I wanted to buy that."
And he left his mom dumbstruck behind him.
