Your Secret Admirer, Jacob (A Princeton Love Story)

Chapter 20 (Finale)

May 25th, 2012. 

 

It was the first day of school where I was already marked as uncool.

It was the same-old, same-old.. People teasing me because of my afro.

I walked through the school double doors which I now think are heaven gates

Because when I first stepped in, I thought to myself: "My angel awaits."

You were so goregous. I couldn't help but stare. 

Like a river down your back, I wanted to run my fingers through your hair. 

You looked at me once revealing a smile that sent my heart racing. 

I smiled back as our eyes met, but tripped when my shoes needed lacing.

Laughter filled the air as I quickly tied my Converse.

I sighed at the fact that we'll never get to converse...

Or conversate. I really hate...

The fact that I'll never be one of the jocks.

I'll always be that dorky misfit that's never had a shot. 

Not only that, but I'm a fool... A fool for you.

 

 

Please... I know I'm no Prince Charming... That's a fact that's never alarming... but accept me as I am, and write back whenever you can. I'll be waiting at Locker 280.

 

                                                             ---- Your Secret Admirer, Jacob.

 

 

 

I had been writing notes to her all year long, and I finally wanted to reveal myself to her. I was just anonymous and mysterious to her, but I just didn't want rejection to be thrown in my face like always. 

It was the last day of school, and also the last period of school. I waited at my locker for fifty-five minutes (how long class is), but she never appeared. Even after school... She never showed.

School's officially over at 2:15pm, but it's almost 4:45 now. I should've known better than to think she would actually want to know me... or even see me. I sighed gathering my belongings and taking a heartbreakingly slow walk home. 

 This was going to be the day I confessed to my love that I was her Secret Admirer. Hell, I basically told her in the note. After everything, I've finally decided to choose her as my one and only. I've finally accepted the fact that there was someone out there who wanted to love me. 

As I walked, I felt someone jump onto my back. "Jacob!" her voice yelled before kissing my cheek. I turned to face her soon seeing my love's beautiful face. I pulled her close and held her tight. "Jacob... I have something to confess to you," she spoke, burying her face into my chest. "Yes?" I listened attentively, preparing myself for whatever she was going to tell me. 

"I knew the whole time," she spoke. "Y-You did?" I asked. "Yeah. I would've been an idiot not to pick up all of those hints you gave me," she laughed. I smiled. "So, you're not mad because I lied?" I asked. "No... I was at first, but... I got over that. I couldn't stay mad at the person I loved so much," she smiled before pecking my lips. "Sorry, I took so long to come around," I apologized, rubbing my neck nervously. "We can go as slow as you want to, Baby... I know I rush things sometimes, so just tell me to slow down whenever it feels like too much," she smiled. 

My insides became fuzzy as butterflies fluttered in my stomach. "I love you," I simply spoke. "I love you too, Secret Admirer," she hugged my torso tightly.
