The Truth Behind the Beagle

Almost everyone had asked me why I hung a gift-wrapped beagle on the doorknob of a classroom for someone to find. I left it there because I didn't have the guts to give it to the person personally and that I was afraid that I'd be teased in front of one of my sempai (means an older student/an upperclassman, but I used it here as another term for kuya).
I don't really know what his story was, what really happened but I just noticed he was somewhat not his usual self.(Yeah right! Like I really know him that well.) I don't know but I oftentimes notice if someone doesn't really feel okay and it more or less affects me too. See, I'm somewhat affected by the atmosphere, not merely the surroundings but also the moods of those around me which are not only seen but felt by me. A sort of empath one might say. Even a little change in the atmosphere or the presence of someone who has an entirely different mood or has something bothering him/her, little changes in the air, I could sense those too though not all the time and not always as strongly as other times. Part of the reason why there was a beagle hanging on the doorknob was that sempai seems to be draining whatever little energy I was absorbing (Yeah, I know,creepy) therefore allowing me to sense where it was going and why I it doesn't come to me. This is just a very tiny reason. The big reason? I'm really not sure. I don't usually get anyone sad a little present to try to make them feel better. This might actually be the first time that I did such a thing, as far as I know. I just found myself there at the department store staring at a whole shelf of stuffed animals, picking up the beagle I have chosen and then paying for it. In fact, the original plan didn't have the beagle in it. Just a letter letting him know that I'm not angry anymore about his not being able to do his duties well and that I wanted to thank him formally for driving me home at midnight during the fair. I actually wanted to lecture him again about his neglect of duties during the fair and more but I just thought that it would be very much unfair of me if I kicked a man who was down. I wanted to more or less lessen his burden (that one of his committee members was so disappointed and annoyed with the way he's been handling things). When someone's going through a rocky path, isn't it nice, relieving rather, to know that someone who was angry is no longer angry?
