"I wanna go home." Rai groaned while her head laid on Jah's shoulder in their free period, which they spent in the library.
Over the past few months, Zah'rai and Jah had begun to grow closer until they reached the stage where they called each other best friends, and the entire school could easily tell how close they were. It was to the point where they were either together or on the phone. There was no time spent apart.
"You want yo basket?" He asked her to make her feel better.
The two, over facetime, decided to make gift baskets for each other and trade them at school.
"Ouuu yeah! Let's trade then now!" She smiled at the idea.
"Aight, do mines first." He pushed the woven basket towards her which she could already see was full of things she loved.
She started at the back where she pulled out a pink stanley x love shack fancy water bottle, and a few face masks. "You spent wayyy to much money sir."
"I'm straight." He waved her off, urging her to finish going through the basket.
She gasped, seeing the pink hibiscus body scrub, a giraffe jellycat, and a pack of raspberry tru fu. Along the bottom of the basket were different lip glosses.
"You like it?" He asked nervously, hoping he got it right.
"Yess! It's so cute. Thank you, Jahni!" She wrapped her arms around him in a hug.
The boy let himself breathe out, finally satisfied with knowing his the girl was happy.
"Noww. Open mines." She plopped the black basket in front of him.
The basket contained a black blanket, a two pair of black and white football gloves, a red and black controller cover, a blue Gatorade, a lemonade and his favorite snacks.
