seven minus three

he came home from a long day at school that consisted of one shitty midterm, one exhausting lab, one clueless TA partner, twenty clueless students, one hour of being stuck on traffic, and three fish tacos.

and then on the desk, he found a box, wrapped in sello-tape and two large white labels stuck on it. the bottom one has my name and address on it, while the top one has a girl's name and address. he smiled. he put down his backpack and took off his jacket, then frantically ransacked his desk for a cutter. he must open this immediately.

he found one.

he sliced open the part that was sello-taped with such delicate execution; one slice down, one slice to the right, one slice to the left, and the box popped open. without hesitation he prowled through the inside of the box, and he found the following:

~ two happy birthday cards
~ two one piece the first log
~ one weekly shonen jump, issue 05-06
~ one tube made from two bottom parts of crystal geiser water bottles stuck together

his smile got bigger. suddenly all of the troubles he had gone through just vanished into thin air. it had been almost ten years since he last got to open a birthday present wrapped up in a box, and now all his childhood memories came rushing back. he had never felt so happy in his life.

he grabbed the empty box that he put on the ground. he stared at the sender's name for a while and wished she was here, because he would give her one big hug and lots of kisses for turning such a horrible day into a bright one.
