I received a cheerful happy birthday greeting from Ethan, Brooke, and a few other students that morning at school. As I walked through the crowded hallway to my locker, I saw a white envelope sticking out from the slat between the door and the edge. Approaching it, I noticed my name scrawled across the front. Before opening my locker, I grabbed it as I glanced around to see if anyone was watching. Students mingled about, talking excitedly about the weekend, but no one paid attention to me.

I tore the envelope open to reveal a gold-rimmed white card with note written on the inside. Happy Birthday, Laken. I hope you have a memorable year. It was signed Xander. I sighed, hoping his gesture wouldn’t thwart my determination to stay away from him. Just when I had started to get him out of my mind, he had to do something nice. And so unlike what I knew about him so far. In spite of my uneasiness, a small smile slithered across my lips as I dropped the card into my book bag.

Opening my locker, I tried to remember what book I needed for my first class. As I scanned the stack of textbooks on the locker shelf, my phone buzzed from inside my bag. I scrambled to balance the books I held with one hand as I reached into my book bag with my other one.

I felt around at the bottom until I finally touched my phone and pulled it out. A text message from Noah lit up the screen. Happy birthday. I’ll call you tonight. Have a great day!

It really would be a great day now. I knelt down to place my books on the floor, freeing my other hand so that I could answer his text message. Thank you! Talk to you tonight, I typed and then hit send.

After returning my phone to my bag, I picked my books up off the floor. Standing, I resumed sorting through my locker to get organized for the day. I felt the smile on my face lingering as my heart glowed.

There was no doubt in my mind that concentrating on my classes would be hopeless today.
