Game of Love

THE Girl

Waking up earlier than usual became Jessica's thing. Since yesterday, she has this bugging feeling inside of her, telling her that she should be early in school. 

'Maybe if I arrive early at school, I might be able to see 'Mystery Man'.'

She bid her sister goodbye, who is still not believing that her sister woke up early for two consecutive days. She made her way towards the school with a smile on her face, hoping she will get to see who 'Mystery Man' is.

~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~

Lander prepared his self for what Jessica will answer in the note. He hoped the girl would consider his offer. Though he finds it kind of weird, talking to someone just by writing notes but he wants to know this girl before he introduces his self.

The sun wasn't visible that much yet. A faint glow of the sun's rays is hovering through out the sky. The cold breeze makes the weather comfortable for a morning walk. Lander drove to school, windows down, letting the breeze enter his car. 

He stopped by a flower shop to get a violet rose. He wondered if Jessica knew what a violet rose meant. It was completely true that he fell in love with her with just one look. He chuckled at the thought. 

After buying the rose, he drove towards school. He was pretty early as he sees a few students in campus. He headed to Jessica's locker, stopping in front, preparing his self. Reaching his hand to the knob, surprisingly the locker wasn't locked. He opened the locker, grabbed the note then placed the rose inside the locker. 

"It's okay with me but why can't we see each other than writing these notes and opening my locker without permission? And please tell me that you're not some kind of stalker."

He chuckled at the last sentence. So, he looks like some kind of stalker to her, huh? Lander grabbed another sticky note in his bag then wrote his reply. 

"No, I'm not a stalker. I'm just a really shy guy who happens to be captivated by your beauty. I'm sorry if I invaded your privacy but I just  thought, you know, this note thingy would help if I want to be closer to you."

Lander didn't failed to notice that the hallway started to get filled up with students. He placed the note then the rose inside that locker then went to the lounge where he, Deion and Henry usually stays.

~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~

Jessica wasn't surprised when she saw a note and a rose inside her locker. Though she was quite disappointed when she didn't see whoever 'Mystery Man' was. Nevertheless, she read the note and giggled quietly. 

'Mystery Man is a little dorky and a sweet talker.' 

She wrote her reply which was:

'It's still unfair. How come you can see my but I can't see you? You better show yourself or I'm not talking, or in this case, replying to your notes anymore! Meet me in the Library at lunch. If you don't come, I'll ignore every note you'll leave in my locker.'

It was a little bit childish to write those things but she couldn't think of any other things to say so that this Mystery Man would show up. She do hoped that Mystery Man would get her note today not tomorrow. Her curiosity is getting the best of her. 

~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~

"What are you eating?" Deion asked Henry who's been munching on something for quite some time now.

They've decided to meet up during their morning break in the cafeteria to look for THE girl of the game. Both have been eyeing girls passing by their table, who are probably blushing, to see who can be THE GIRL of the game.

Not long enough Lander met up with his friends..

"Hey guys? What are you two doing?"

"Oh Lander, you're here. Sit and look for our girl."Deion said not even looking at Lander. Lander complied and sat in the middle of the two. 

"So, what are the standards of our girl?" Lander asked, carefully eyeing every girl that passes their table.

"Beautiful, nice, and single." Henry answered bluntly. 

"That's hard considering most of the girls here ar--"

"AHA!" Deion exclaimed, startling the two and gaining looks from others.

"What?" Lander asked?

"I found our girl."

"Really? Who? Which one?!" Henry happily exclaimed.

"That one." Henry and Lander followed Deion's pointed finger.

Amongst the crowd, there a blond girl sitting quietly in an empty table with no one but herself. Watching closely, a brunette sat down with the blond girl. 

"Which one is it, D? Henry asked, confused.

"The blond one."

Lander didn't know he was holding his breath while waiting for Deion's answer. 

'Why her? Out of all girls in this school, why Jessica?'
