Paranormal Paradox [Erma PSAU]

Valentines

Upon entering the classroom, Most of the kids were already inside. Ms. Bierly waiting on us to sit down, which wasn't a problem for me. Sylvia lent Amy her jacket before they entered class. "Alright, class. Tomorrow is Valentines day, so if you want to bring valentines gifts for your classmates, remember to bring it with you tomorrow." Ms. Bierly says. Elliot looks up in suprise. He looks over to Amy in confusion, but she gives a nod to confirm this.

Should he go for it and give Erma a valentines? Even if not, he should definitely give Amy one, he knows she'll appreciate it. Maybe Sylvia should get one as well, she is keeping our secret, after all. Elliot glances to his rival, Connor. Knowing he's gonna try something with Erma tomorrow, Elliot needed to go all out to outshine him. He may as well go all out for the others too.

Class went pretty normal, so Elliot's stress had faltered, he was now trying to get valentines gifts. He walks to the mall, since the mall had everything gift wise. "I'll be swooning the girls soon." Elliot says aloud as he walks inside the mall. He thinks about Amy first, since he already has an idea as to what to get her. Now that he thought about it, he actually never celebrated Valentines at all. So he wants to make a good first impression on this holiday.

Elliot starts at the clothing store. So that Amy has something to cover her Soulmark and something comfy to wear. After searching in the store for around 15 minutes, a white hoodie catches his eye. After feeling the fabric, inside and out, he was sure of this being the one, and duplicated it. He stuck it in his magic item box to store it away, cause Elliot doesn't have alot of money, and uses his abilities to get around. He also gets her a card with some heart shaped sweetarts.

Erma was next. He got her some Warrior Unicorn Princess plushies, and comics. He also got her a heart box of chocolates, and a personal card. Elliot wasn't gonna give Erma the WUPer stuff in class. He feels like that was a personal thing, considering her room design. Sylvia was a little harder since he doesn't know much about her, but he's just as determined to gift her something she likes.

If he was to take a guess, it would be something warm as well. Like a scarf, so that's what he should get her. So Erma, Amy, and Sylvia are taken care of. But was there any other girl he knew? Sidney came to mind. Right, so what to get her? He figures he'd give her some gloves, since he did remember one time when Sidney said she didn't really had any gloves that worked for her. I didn't know what she meant by that, so I went to look for some unique gloves. Best I could find were some cool fingerless gloves. Elliot felt like fingerless gloves kinda defeats the point, but something in him told him to grab them, so he did.

"Guess that's everyone. I'm about to blow away the competition!" Elliot declared, warping back to his house to get ready for tomorrow. "Yknow, I shoulda got myself a jacket or something." He stated, but shrugs.

Tomorrow, on the bus...

Tomorrow couldn't have came faster. Elliot was holding in his excitement inside, but Amy could still feel it. "You seem excited today." She says. "Well, it'll be the first time I'm celebrating Valentines day." He responds. Amy, knowing how his past is, gives a saddened smile real quick, but perks back up.

A few hours later

School had been going regularly for awhile, until Ms. Bierly speaks up suddenly. "Ok class, it's time for Valentines gifts. We'll start in alphabetical order. First up is Amy." Amy's attention was caught, causing her to stand up. She starts handing out cards to everyone, but when she gets to Elliot, she hands him a card, with a gift box. She gives him a wink before going back to her seat. Elliot, curious, opens the box. Inside was a black Jacket, which didn't seem to have a zipper or any way to button up. Elliot actually likes the design and thought Amy put into this gift. The other kids 'oohed', which made Amy blush and look away.

Connor was next, which is okay for Elliot, cause it'll just make his gifts look better. Even so, he was being way too blunt and obvious, cause he only got Erma some candy and a card. Elliot was next, and a pang of anxiety hit him. Probably cause he's gotta do this in front of the class. He knew he would have to, but he guessed it really didn't hit him until now.

He started off with giving everyone the sweettarts candy, then the cards to his friends, and now it came to the gifts. First was Amy. He gives her the small box, and she opens it. Inside was a white hoodie with a soft furry inside. Amy gives a sweet smile to me. The feelings of love and joy radiated off of Amy. Elliot moves to the next person before he shows his embarrassment. Sylvia was the next person.

He hands her a white striped purple scarf. Sylvia, not expecting it, takes it with a Smile. "Thank you." She says happily. Elliot smiles back, moving onto Sidney. He hands sidney the fingerless gloves. Sidney seems suprised by the gift, taking them in her hands. "Wow, thanks, Elliot." She says on awe, still looking at the gloves. Elliot sits back down afterwards, leaving Erma a little confused, but brushes it off. During Erma's turn she had given the usual candies and cards, but she handed Connor her literal heart, which scared the shit out of him and the class.

Recess came along, and while all the kids were eating their candy and playing, Elliot comes up to Erma. "Heya Erma. Thought I'd give ya this gift in private. You can thank me later." He says, winking at her. She blushes a bit, taking it with a nod. After walking off to a corner, Elliot breathes heavily, feeling anxious about the gifts he gave out, and quickly tries to rid the feeling before Amy catches it. Easier said than done, it wasn't that easy to dismiss a feeling.

Erma appears through the wall next to Elliot, making him jump. Erma apologized as Elliot catches his breath. "Jeez Erma, ya tryin to scare everyone?" He remarks. Erma shakes her head, showing the gift box Elliot gave her. "Oh, that? Well, whatcha think?" Her embarrassment grows as she asks how he knew. "Oh, right. Well, when me and Felicia were lookin for ya, I checked your room, and kinda saw the hidden collection. I figured ya didn't want other people to know, so that's why I gave it to ya more privately."

After hearing this, Erma's embarrassment grew bigger. She was extremely happy about the gift, yet embarrassed about her secret. In that moment she pulled Elliot through the wall  and kissed him. Elliot was taken by suprise by Erma's sudden move. Erma lets go of Elliot as he's left there blushing and stunned. Erma, now completely red, phases into the ground, leaving Elliot still standing there stunned. "Woah..."
