Lame Choices

Chapter 23

CHAPTER 23

Suddenly, the music stopped and the players rushed to find their seats.

Ervin Mess lost because he is so slow and he don't really care at all.

Klodia stumbled with her high heels which made her spit the strawberry flavored gum she's chewing. She stepped on gum which made her stick on the ground. "Oh... wait. Im stuck! So unfair!" She screeched.

Reinhardt sat on the chair with full force that it broke into pieces but he just laughed at himself.

Jose also lost because he wasn't able to sit on a chair.

Now, there's only 6 players left. Namely, Eljin, Pamela, Millennie, Hurvy, Dain, and Alab.

"Sit on the floor!" Hurvy pushed Dain.

"Yeah... sit!" Alab pushed him, too.

The three of them, were pushing and pulling each other, showing off for Eljin.

The music suddenly stopped just as Klodia was able to get off the gum from her heels off the floor.

Klodia lost her balance who crashed on Dain, who crashed on Hurvy, who crashed on Alab, who crashed on Eljin.

Now its between Pamela and Millennie.

Pamela danced confidently, thinking that she will win because for her Millenie is only a half inch taller than a dwarf.

"I woooon!!!" Pamela screamed as she sat down on a chair.

"No! You didn't!" Millennie squeaked in pain. "You're sitting on me!"

"Oh sorry!" Pamela got up. Millennie was so tiny that Pamela wasn't able to see her.

"That means... I won!" Millennie threw her hands up in the air.

"Congratulations, Millennie! Now, let's move on to our gift giving." Ms. Veinns said.

"Okay, let's start with me." Ms. Veinns said. "Who's codename is Ariana Grande? I got you a bag."

"Oh that's me!" Klodia screamed and lost control. She threw her hands up and let it go. She forgot about everything and ran towards Ms. Veinns and grabbed her gift. "Thank you! Thank you!"

She screamed and spit her gum accidentally.

Klodia gave her gift to Jose McRichy, who gave his gift to Reinhardt, who gave his gift to Ervin...

.. and now it's Carlo's turn, "Umm.. So I a... ummm."

I remember the first day I saw him when he was introducing himself to the whole class.

I am the Secret Santa of.." Carlo unfolded the strip of paper with a codename on it. "What's this? Tong RicJe less than sign 3."

"That's a heart!" I screamed to correct him as he rolled his eyes.

I stood up and grabbed the gift from him but it slipped from his hands and fell.

Crash!!!

Oh no!

It's fragile!

Everyone did not say a word. All eyes were laid on the two of us. I slowly took the gift and opened it.

It's a snowglobe.

A very cute one with an Eiffel Tower in it. But now, it fell into pieces. Everything is now broken. The only thing that left is the Eiffel Tower. I looked at Carlo who looked startled.

I picked the Eiffel Tower as everyone looked at me and said, "I will just make this a pendant to my necklace." I told them and smiled nervously as I pick up the broken pieces by myself.

Now it's my turn, "I'm your secret santa, 'Katniss Everdeen'."

"That's me! That's me!" Charles Garfield enunciated clearly.

"It's you? I thought you're a girl!" I told him. "Sorry." I whispered and gave him the gift.

He opened it and screamed, "A PINK SPARKLY BRACELET? Thanks a lot, Eljin!" He yelled at me sarcastically.

"I thought you were a girl!" I explained as he groaned.

"I am the secret santa of..." Charles began. "Ummm... 'Flow'?"

"That would probably be me." Angelica G. stood up. "That's the inverted word for Wolf."

Charles looked at her from head to toe, gave her the gift and simply walked away.

"Wolf. Huh! It suits you." he mumbled.

After the secret santa, Ms. Veinns announced the winners of the games.

"Third place... the Red Team! Second... the Purple Team!" She announced. "And the winner is... the Black Team!"
