What He Doesn't Know

Chapter 13

"Hermione, come open your presents!" Logan yells through the door.

I finish wrapping the present I got for William, I look at the three presents on my bed. I finished wrapping those presents because they were bought a long time ago. William's present, I got it this morning, on Christmas Eve. I didn't know what to get him, because I know nothing about him anymore. I freaked, and bought him a regular black longsleeve shirt. As I stack up all the presents together, William walks in my room.

"Why didn't you knock?" I ask.

"Because I didn't feel like it."

"What if I was changing?" I gasp.

"Well you weren't," he looks at me. "Unfortunately."

I glare at him and he smiles. I pick up the presents and attempt to carry them all. I walk and drop the two presents at the top. William quickly catches them and winks at me. I roll my eyes and walk out of my room, wait for him to get out, and close the door. We walk downstairs only to be greeted by Greg and Logan, of course, Ashley is here again. I put the presents on the table with the rest, and I get myself a cup of coffee.

"Present time!" Greg cheers.

I freeze. I forgot to get his present from Logan's car. I stand up and walk to the counter, grab Logan's keys and run out. I get the present and run inside, I'm greeted by Ashley, she smiles.

"Listen, about everything that's happened," she starts. "I think you and I should get along. I know I've been a horrible person, but I like you. So, I guess this is me apologizing."

"Oh," I don't know what to say.

I should apologize too, I almost ruined her relationship with Logan.

"Let's go open presents."

I nod and we walk into the dining room, everyone is staring at us. I smile and put the bag on the table.

"Who's first?" Logan asks.

"Just pick out a random one and we'll see whose it is." Greg looks at the clock. "Hurry, it's almost six."

"Alright." Logan takes a deep breath and reaches for one. He takes a small box that sits on top of two others.

"That's for you, and you knew it." Ashley scowls.

They all complain and Greg throws wrapping paper at him. Logan winks at Ashley and throws the paper back at Greg. He slowly unwraps the box and when he finishes, he throws the paper into a bag. I watch as he opens the little box, and his eyes light up. He takes a watch out, and I immediately know who gave it to him. He thanks Ashley with a kiss, and puts the watch on. I wonder how much it cost her to buy him that.

The next present is chosen by William, and it's for me. I take the present, it looks like a CD, but I'm not sure. I unwrap it, and there's a CD, the new album I really want. I look up at Logan, the only one who knew that I really wanted it. He shakes his head and I frown. Who got it for me?

"Wow, who got me this?"

"That would be me," Ashley shyly smiles. "Logan said you wanted it, so I got it for you."

"Oh, thank you." I stand up and hug her for the first time ever. I didn't think she would get me a present, obviously, I got her something because I knew she would be here. I think she maybe does want to be friends.

I take the next present, which is for Logan, of course, it's the one I got him. He takes it from me and smiles. He knows exactly what it is. This past month, Logan has been trying to buy himself a new football, and a new video game. Oddly enough, he couldn't pay for his own things, so this is what I decided to get him. Just the usual things were given to Logan, Greg got him a hat, which he absolutely loved, and William got him a bright yellow shirt. I don't know the inside joke they have with bright yellow shirts, but apparently neither do Greg and Ashley. Greg got a wallet, a gift from Ashley, and a pair of really expensive shoes that both Logan and Will got him. I got Greg some new headphones and socks, obviously I suck at shopping for gifts. Logan got Ashley a beautiful necklace, it had her name, and it obviously cost Logan a lot of money. Logan said he will give me my present later, and nobody else got Ashley a present, except me.
