Oh crap I haven't updated forever. I am SO sorry again! With karate, choir, piano, swimming, dance, battle (something else), and not to mention school sometimes I don't have time. I'll stop jabbering now, onward!
Chapter 5: The Gift
Christmas time drew near, and something came over me. It seemed like I had to do something for Jimmy. Well, I had thought about it before, but not like this, well yeah maybe like this. I wanted to give him a gift of some kind. He was smart enough to figure out if it was me or not. It had to be some everyday object, but maybe a little nicer. I tossed and turned all of the night before the day before winter break. I thought of it. I quietly turned on the light and set to work.
I got to school the next day before everybody else. I quickly pulled the perfect, yellow pen out of my backpack and set it on his desk, and then I rushed to my seat. I started brain gym innocently as students started flooding in. Maybe I watched Jimmy a little too closely as he sat down at his desk. I wanted to see his face when he picked up the pen and read the note. Then I thought "Maybe this is just some stupid game. Maybe he's just trying to get the better of me. Maybe- oh stop it Cindy. Why would he do that in fourth grade? If he even got the courage to say something he wouldn't say just because." I calmed myself and focused on school.
Then gym came. Boring as usual. A game of tag. I walked around the perimeter of the floor with Libby.
"So?" Libby asked me. What did that mean? "So, why'd you give it to him?" Now I knew what she meant.
"I don't know. I guess Christmas is just getting the better of me," I replied.
"Well he considers it a token of love," Libby said through giggles.
"Does he know I gave it to him?" I asked. Libby just stared and jerked her head in the direction of behind us. Jimmy was standing right there. We ran.
Okay I have finally updated! If you don't know, brain gym is some activity or game we used to do in the morning, like Rush Hour or Blink. REVIEW!
