“Happy New Year!” Caley was greeted with the exclamations of her friends, “Are you glad to be back here? I sure am not.”
The New Year had come and gone, and Caley was back in school – New Year, blank slate, and a fresh start, exactly what she wanted.
Caley chatted with her friends for a few minutes, catching up on what they had done over their break. The first bell rang, indicating that she had only five minutes to being late. Not an auspicious start… Hurriedly going to her locker, Caley keyed in her combination and rummaged through her stuff to find the books she needed. Suddenly, she felt a tap on her left shoulder. Looking around, Caley did a 360° and found John standing to her right, smiling at her. She raised her eyebrows.
“Hey, how was your break? I have something for you.”
Caley looked inquisitively at John. “What is it?”
“A slightly delayed Christmas present.”
