GIFT

Kelsi was in a bad mood.

It was a Monday morning, it was raining, her alarm hadn't gone off, her parents had already left for work, she missed the bus, her homework wasn't finished, and she forgot her gym clothes at home. To top it all off, she had forgotten to grab a hat, which she normally never left the house without.

When she finally got to school, soaking wet, glasses smudged, hair plastered to her face, and her homework a big inky mess, it was needless to say that her mood hadn't improved. She made her way to her locker, opened it, shoved her ruined homework in, and turned to stomp off to the bathroom in a huff, where she would attempt to dry off. However, her dramatic exit was ruined because she bumped into someone with an "Oomph."

It was Ryan, and he was grinning bemusedly down at the bedraggled Kelsi. "What happened to you," he asked. "Did you get run over by the bus?"

"I wish," Kelsi muttered, embarrassed that he saw her looking like this.

"Why?" Ryan asked even more confused than before. Kelsi thought, then decided to skip all the gory details of her horrible day so far.

"Just not having a good day," she finally said. "And I forgot a hat," she added almost as an afterthought.

"Well we can't have that can we?" Ryan said. With a flourish, he whipped the navy blue newsboy hat off his head and plopped it onto Kelsi's head. By some miracle it matched the outfit she was wearing.

"Thanks Ryan," Kelsi said, truly touched by the gesture. He didn't know it but Kelsi was in an incredibly good mood for the rest of the day, even though it wasn't that great of a day for her. At the end of the day, she went to give it back to him but he refused.

"You can keep it," he said. "Just think of it as a late birthday gift."

"My birthday's in March," Kelsi said giggling.

"Okay early birthday gift then," Ryan said. "6 months early."

Later, Kelsi had to say that it was the best gift she ever received.
