{This is going to be a lighthearted story, so I'm reviving dead eggs.}

"Ey, Pendejo!" Bobby wails as he opens his present. "¿Quién me dio jabón?" {Who gave me soap?}

A group of girls giggled in the back, suggesting one of them did it.

"Tomar una ducha. Hueles mal." {Take a shower. You smell bad.} Tilín taunted him from the seat behind him.

"Okay, quiet." Mr. Quackity snapped his fingers to get everyone's attention. "I'll pick another name." He reached into a jar and pulled Leo's name. "Ah, okay. Es el turno de Leo." {It's Leo's turn.} He found the gift on the table with Leo's name and handed it to her. "Ábrelo, es pesado." {Open it, it's heavy.}

Leo shook the box and admired the gold foiled exterior of it. It looked high quality. Whoever picked Leo's name to get her a gift, knew she liked luxuries.

"Es mejor que el jabón." {It's better than soap.} Bobby said as Leo opened the box and pulled out a beautiful glass cube. Inside the cube was a preserved spotted mushroom. Leo was stunned, they didn't know what to think. This gift was definitely over the budget. And it was just the sort of weird thing they liked.

"A mushroom, great..." Dapper looked over, his wings flapping out of boredom. "When will it be my turn?"

"Be patient." Mr. Quackity nodded at Dapper. "That's a very nice gift, Leo. Someone knows you like mushrooms."

Leo shrugged. It wasn't hard to know. She had mushroom keychains on her backpack. She was wearing a sweater with a mushroom on it.
Leo looked around, hoping her secret Santa would give themself away.

No one looked suspicious. Leo waited, knowing that at lunch they would all reveal amongst themselves who bought for who.

"Flippa, did you give me this." Leo asked while holding up the mushroom cube.

Flippa shook her head. "no, no. It wasn't me."

"Oh..." Leo had already asked everyone she usually hung out with. "Who did you get for?"

"I got Bobby." Flippa let out a little evil laugh.

"Oh..." Leo sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Hey um...there's no bad feelings between us, right?"

Flippa shrugged. "No, why?"

"You know, because your dad Mariana is gone again. I notice you are in English mode." Leo chewed on their lip anxiously.

"Why would that be your fault?" Flippa gave her a suspicious look.

"My dad...our dads are seeing each other."

"Oh, don't feel bad." Flippa rubbed Leo's shoulder, stopping when they shrugged the hand away. "It's not your fault that your dad is a whore. Just like it's not my fault that my dad Slime can't satisfy my dad Mariana."

"Uh huh..." Leo cleared her throat. "Well, that's good to know then. So, do you know who picked my name for the secret Santa?"

Flippa scrunched up her face. "You still have no idea? Who did you ask?"

"Well...everyone? But I haven't seen Tilín yet. Was it Tilín?"

Flippa shook her head. "No, I'm sorry. Tilín got Sunny."

Leo made a disgusted face. "Blegh, poor Tilín. I bet Sunny threw her gift away already."

Flippa shrugged. "I don't know..." She perked up as Tilín came over and sat at the table. Then she eyed Leo. Flippa and Tilín like to sit alone away from the rest of the group. Because they are really close and like to lovingly talk shit about people.
