Sick on V-Day

The V-Day my freshman year, everyone at school was so excited. Candy and flowers and little cards everywhere. And one of my friends even wrote me a card, and then another friend gave me some chocolates.

But the first bite I took out of the chocolate, I got sick. I’m allergic to peanuts. I called my mom to pick me up and I spent that day alone, at home.

What’s funny is, I didn’t even care about being sick. I had this crazy notion in my head that maybe today would be the day. That someone would finally spill their guts out on the floor for me, and suddenly I’d have a reason to really love the holiday. There was just that chance. What if?

Sure, they could have saved that spectacular present for the next day, but then the magic would be gone. They might not even do it then. It wouldn’t have been the same.
