The Gift That Was Passed On

Summary

I sent a huge box of gifts to my crush.

The next day, I saw his unboxing video. It had ten thousand likes.

My heart swelled with anticipation.

But then I realized… he was opening a gift from the freshman girl he was mentoring.

My smile froze.

The message I was about to send—“Just sent a little something your way, the main event is coming later!”—was still sitting in my drafts.

Just then, my crush’s roommate sent me a private message.

“Hey, Mike gave me the jacket you sent him. Are you sure it’s okay for me to keep it?”
