It was the end of the school day and I raced outside the double doors to beat her to her car. I know she usually waits for Kelly and Robyn after class, then goes to her locker.
So that gives me enough time to rush to my car and wait for her at hers. By my luck, we didn't park too far from each other.
I grabbed the balloons and few gift bags out of my backseat. Besides me grabbing something for Onika, I grabbed something for Robyn and Kelly as well.
They were doing this galentines exchange and they've asked me to participate.
Before I decided to pursue onika, I had no idea I'll end up liking her friends as much as I do. They are some of the most realist and genuine people I've met. I like them more than my friends.

"I had to come out to my car to grab your gifts.. I texted you."
"I'm sorry I didn't even look at my phone. Here's your gifts." She beamed. I took the fair sized teddy bear, gifts and balloons from Onika. The bear was pink, a favorite color that we coincidentally share, and I peeked inside and saw quite a few perfumes. That alone excites me more.
"Here's yours. Be careful, there's some items made of glass in there." I carefully passed each of them their bags and balloons as they did mine, Onika having the most gifts of course. Onika began to look through the bag and her reaction let me know I did the right thing. I basically just got her exactly what she wanted. She wanted
