I was attending a special winter holiday course at my cram school.
My marks had fallen in the most recent exam so I had to get it together!
A student’s main concern was studying, so naturally Christmas wasn’t a priority.
Christmas had nothing to do with students.
Naturally.
With that in mind I strode into cram school only to be invited by Umewaka-kun and the others to a 1000 yen random present exchange.
Present exchange?!
Count me in!
This kind of thing really brought back memories.
In my old life my friends and I had gathered together to do a 500 yen random present exchange.
It was extra hard getting presents without knowing who would get it.
If I knew that then I could at least try to get something they’d like.
It was even worse this time because we had both sexes in the pool.
If it was all girls then I could get some cute lip gloss or a nail set, but I didn’t think the boys would appreciate that.
Oh, well maybe Iwamuro-kun might, but…
After agonising over it for a while, in the end I decided on a famous onsen bath salt set.
It wasn’t something you’d have to keep around after using, and if you didn’t like it then your family could.
I wondered if this was the right choice.
It was better than some cute bath bombs at least, since the scent of those might be too sweet for a boy.
During our lunch break on Christmas Eve, we had lunch together in the classroom before singing some songs and exchanging presents.
It was a little embarrassing because there were other people in the classroom, but it was best to be festive for these things, wasn’t it!
I wondered who would get my present.
We sang Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer as we passed the presents along in a circle.
When the song was done I ended up with a green-ribboned present, just about large enough to fit in both hands.
I wonder whose this was.
My present ended up in Sasaki-san’s hands. Ahh, had I known it’d end up with a girl I would have just gone for the bath bombs!
How was she going to react!
“Wah, bath salts. There’s actually quite a bit here. Whose was this?”
“It was mine,” I raised my hand to looks of surprise.
“This is yours!? Wouldn’t have really expected this from you.”
