Your Secret Admirer, Jacob (A Princeton Love Story)

Chapter 15

December 8th, 2011. 

Last night, I tried calling my love again, and yet again, I failed. But I, at least got one word out. Goodbye. That's what she asked for. She wanted me to say bye before I hung up. 

I walked the halls catching a glare from Chresanto and a smile from my love. "Hey, Jacob" she greeted. "Hey" I spoke with a small smile and a shaky voice. I then realized that she began to walk alongside me. I grew nervous because she was soon to realize that I'm her secret admirer. I want to see how far this Jacob and Secret Admirer thing is going to work. 

Maybe if she gets to know Jacob then she'll have no problem with accepting Secret Admirer... But what if she gets mad because I lied to her? 

She'll understand, right? "Uh, Jacob... Could you slip this into Locker 280?" she asked. "What is it?" I asked starting to open it. "No, don't open it. It's not for you. Just slip it in there, okay?" she spoke. "Okay" I agreed. "Thanks" she smiled before walking away. I went toward my locker making sure that she wasn't around. 

Once my locker was open, I grabbed the books I needed for my upcoming classes and closed it. Once I was seated in my homeroom, I opened the note and began to read. 

I'm in love with the fact that you called.

I know it was you because you said 'Goodbye" before hanging up. And that's all...

I ever wanted if you were to hang up again. 

You have a dazzling voice, Secret Admirer. 

We should definitely talk because there can't be another...

To even come close to you or anything you do. 

I've never felt this crazy about someone.

I can't even believe that I ever shuned...

You. 

You're so incredible; you've got me fangirling, Secret Admirer.

As silly as it is, I've never been so enthusiastic about another.

You're the only one for me. 

You're the one who's made for me. 

So, if you can't find the words to utter...

Just text me if it seems better. 

I'll be expecting your text or your call. 

Oh... And you better not stall. 

I Love You.

After class, I went to the library to return an overdue book. I ended up late for class. The halls were silent,  and I could only hear my footsteps echoing throughout the hallow halls. Next thing I know, I bump into someone. 

"Sorry" her angelic voice apologized. "Don't be" I assisted her with the books that had fallen onto the tiled floor. We looked into each other's eyes before quickly looking away. "Here" I handed her, her books. "Thanks" she smiled slightly. 

Just as I was about to walk away, she halted me. "Wait, Jake... Let's hang for a minute" she spoke. I hesitated, but kind of shrugged. "How about it?" I asked. She smiled slightly before taking my hand and leading me out the building.
