Complex Romance - 20 He really knows me well

Sitting down looking at her gifts, she felt a fuzzy warm feeling in her heart. She knew she was very blessed that she had so many wonderful friends that cared for her. First, she opened The gift that was given by the boys from her class, it was a huge teddy bear with a funny “nose picking” expression on it. By looking at the teddy bear, she wanted to laugh cause it reminded her of her class’s boys doing that expression.

Next, she opened the gift which was given by the girls from her class. She was surprised to see a black handbag, because she thought the girls would have given her a book or something as they were the bookworm type.

Now, it was left with Harry’s and John’s gift. Without much thinking, she took the box which was closest to her, it was the gift from Harry.

In addition, all of those gifts were very expensive that she herself did not want to spend her parent’s money to purchase them as she wanted to earn money herself to buy them. Never in her wildest dream did she think that someone would buy all of them for her.

All she could think about was, “He really knows me well…”
