The Present (5)
John was heading towards school alignment with Rex, as they rambled on about random things.
When they arrived at their classes, Rex headed inside while John went towards Averys class.
John walked into the class, and saw the room was empty other then Averys mother, the teacher. She was doing work on the desk, and looked up and seeing John made her frown.
John walked up to her with a smile, and set down a present on the desk.
"Hello Averys mother, I wanted to give you a present!" He then took out a paper bag "I made you some breakfast too, because I think teachers are unappreciated! Thank you for your hard work for us students!" John said, as he talked like he was leading a revolution.
The mother still looked indifferent, but the frown was replaced by a casual cold face. "Don't call me Averys mom. Just call me Ms Taneko."
John was excited that he had gotten Averys last name as well as the mother opening up to him, and nodded. "Of course, Ms Taneko! You have defiantly raised your daughter to be an amazing girl! Ok, I need to go! Bye!"
John quickly walked out of the door, leaving Ms Taneko there to open the present. It seemed she was hungry, as she first opened up the bag. Inside, she found a plate of scrambled egg, sausage, and rice. She also found a bag of fruits, a single apple, and a note that said "Have a good day! And tell Avery I said hi!"
She simply crumpled the note and threw it into the trash can, before opening the present. She gracefully folded it open unlike how most would rip it, and inside was a notebook, a book, and a beautiful framed picture of the sun setting.
She liked the present, because she always needed notebooks, the book was her favorite, and the picture of the sun setting would look good on her desk. She was confused at how John had even known this was her favorite book, but that thought went to the back of her mind. Little did she know, John had asked Avery about it in their little cave!
The rest of the school day went as normal, John not paying attention, and Rex on his phone playing video games. When school ended, they once again went in front of Averys class to wait.
A few minutes later, Lacey and Avery walked out alongside the mom. When the mom saw them, instead of saying to stay away she simply walked away.
"What the- did you do something?" Rex asked, confused the mom didn't say anything.
"I got her a present, if I want her to accept me having her daughter as my wife shouldn't I have the mom think of me as a good man?" John said, like a scholar teaching his student.
"Ah...you are truly wise!" Rex said, and jokingly bowed.
"Can we go?" Lacey said, impatiently as Avery blushed deeply.
"Eh? Did we say we were going to the cave? It seems somebody wants to go there!" Rex teased Lacey.
"Huh? Who said I want to go to the cave? Shut up." Lacey said, trying to act calm at how she had shown them she had anticipated going to the cave.
