It's Valentine's day, and I dread going to school. I bought candy grams for the whole class, and they're being handed out today. I hope they don't bully me for giving candy grams to the whole class, especially for giving one to Prague.

Kayla, you did something out of heart. It's okay.

I get out of bed, groaning, as I do everyday. I quickly get ready and get out of the house without eating breakfast. I never eat breakfast. 

When I get to school, it seems like a normal day, but to me, it's not. Prague is gonna receive a candy gram, from me, with a huge heart on it. Technically, I didn't add the heart, considering it was one of the templates for the candy gram.

"So Kayla, how many candy grams did you buy?" That came from Misa.

"Me? Uh...enough for the whole class, I think." I replied.

"You bought some for the whole class?" She asked, shocked.

"Yeah, I feel bad for people who might not get any." I replied earnestly. 

"I only got you guys a bunch of candy grams." She informed me.

"Oh, really? Thanks Misa."

"No problem."

I went to my locker and shoved my stuff in there, not caring about anything fragile. I only hoped I could get through the day and not get bullied for giving candy grams. I sighed and made my way to class.

The class was fretting over not getting the candy grams by the end of the day, considering there were only a few minutes left in the day. The whole class was downstairs in the library, so we all ended up running up the stairs to see if the candy grams were there.

Who cares if they're there or not?

I ran into the classroom, panting. The two grade eights distributing the candy grams were there, looking confused at our sudden arrival. I walked to my seat and sat down, nervous. 

There is literally nothing to be nervous about, Kayla.

The grade eights started handing out the candy grams while everybody was filing in, commenting on how our class probably had the most candy grams. The bin was pretty much overflowing with candy to prove their point. 

"OOOOOOOH, PRAGUE YOU GOT A CANDY GRAM FROM KAYLAAAA!" I winced, noting the amused tone coming from the stupid bully of the class. 

"Yeah, she gave one to the whole class," Prague's reply came out smooth and dismissive. "It's not a big deal." He stuck the lollipop in his mouth, and he looked...kind of cute doing it.

What are you thinking?

I slumped in my seat, relieved.

Later at home, I got a message from Prague.

Kayla: Yw

Kayla: Ur the only one who acc thanked me

Prague: Yw
