  "Pick a name Taylor-Ann"

I took a deep breath as my hand rummaged around in the bowl. Ms.Mason had decided to do a Secret Santa and made everyone participate.

She probably thought that 'someone' wouldn't get a present.

I cautiously drew my hand from the bowl. My hand quivered while I unfolded the paper.

I let go of the breath I had been holding when I read the name.

  "Oh thank God," I said

  "Who is it?" Troy asked

  "My lips are sealed"

  "Is it Arabella?"

  "Nope,"

  "Is it Troy?" Arabella asked

  "No"

  "Is it Chloe?"

I shook my head

  "Is it Jane?" Chloe asked

  "Nada"

  "Is it me?" Keith asked

  "Blech, no" and the class laughed

  "Alright class, the whole point is that it's supposed to be a secret. That's why it's called 'Secret' Santa" Ms. Mason said

I took my seat and smiled. The name on the paper made me quite happy.
