"In honor of this week being the last week before Christmas break, you all will be doing Secret Santa before you go." Chase's teacher announced, Chase almost immediately perking up at that.
Chase shared this period with his crush, Saraia, so he was hoping that this would finally be his chance to even interact with her. "See Che? Now yo chance to finally spark up a convo wit yo girl." Steven hit his arm.
Though that was until he realized; secret santa was all randomized when done correctly, so who's to say he's going to get Saraia? But Chase had an idea.
He usually helped this specific teacher around the class with the things she needed since it was a basic elective class, so he could simply ask her if he could do the names for her.
Despite Steven telling Chase on numerous occasions to go talk to the girl, he could never gather the courage to do so.
"Bro she literally sittin over there alone quiet as fuck, the worst she could say is no." Steven said, growing irritated with his shy friend's antics.
"She look so peaceful bruh, what if I weird her out or sum and she never wanna talk to me again?" Chase said. Steven pinched the bridge of his nose.
"You overthinkin it bruh! Just go say sum." Steven said. "It ain't that easy Tana, damn!"
That was at the beginning of the semester. Chase never made an effort to talk to her again and just hoped she never started talking to someone other than him.
Chase got up from his seat, making his way to the front and stopping at his teacher's desk. "I can do the names for you." He told her.
Seeing this as a sweet gesture, she of course let him do so; handing Chase a bowl, a sheet of printer paper, scissors and the class roster for the names.
He took it back to his desk, Steven shaking his head at how Chase was smiling. "You finna fuck some shit up, huh?" Steven asked as Chase immediately started writing Saraia's name on the paper. "Hell yeah, and she finna get everything she want off that list and more." Chase said—confidently.
Near the end of the period, everyone had fished other people's names out of the bowl and everyone made their Christmas lists, so now it was time for everyone to grab the list of the person they had.
Though Chase originally didn't want to participate, he thought of the chances of Saraia choosing him, so he just put something random on the list since he was already financially stable.
When Chase received Saraia's list, he smirked at how cute her handwriting was and the little doodles she had off to the side on her paper. Nevertheless, he looked over the paper while waiting on the bell to ring.
Saraia's Wishlist
• covergirl yummy lipgloss
• snoopy plushie (really anything snoopy)
• chocolate
• a 30 oz pink stanley cup and some ribbon back shortie boots from ugg!! Jkjk (i wear a size 7 tho)
Chase only smiled, knowing he was about to get the last two things on the list as well. It made him feel good knowing he was the one with her name because he knew anybody else would've just given her something super simple.

After school, Chase was in the pick-up line before seeing his brother's car finally pull up in front of him, getting inside once he stopped the car. "Aye, you can take me to the store real quick?" Chase asked a disheveled Namil. It seemed like he'd just woken up or was high.. or had just woken up after being high.
