Juli's P.O.V

"Wow, someone's popular" Matt teases as we walk down the halls to homeroom "Shut up" I roll my eyes, holding my books and the three roses in my hand. "Do you know who they're from?" Matt asks, laughing as I carry the stupid flowers "No and you know, Valentine's Day is just some stupid holiday supermarkets blow out of portion to increase their profits" I say handing Matt a rose before chucking the other two in the bin as we pass. "Why'd you give me this?" He asks confused as he heads into our classroom "Because no one else is going to give you one" I tease putting my books down on a desk and taking my seat "Very funny, Juli" Matt says taking the seat beside me, rolling his eyes. 

"Since it's Valentine's day, we are going to do something similar to speed dating. You will have five minutes to get to know the person sitting person next to you" Our homeroom teacher explains to which I roll my eyes. "Your five minutes start now," She says and the class starts chatting with their friends "This is the dumbest fucking thing" I mumble, talking to Matt. "So you really have no idea who sent you those flowers?" Matt asks "Really? No, they're anonymous" I answer "Are jealous you only got one from me?" I tease, laughing a little. "Shut up!" He smiles before just talking to her. 

"Juliana, what's your favourite thing about Matt?" Our teacher asks after the five minutes "What?" I ask confused "You were just talking to him" She cocks, she has never really liked me mainly because of my older sister who was not the best student. "Um, I guess, I like the way he, he's not afraid to be himself" I smile a little looking over at my friend. Watching him try to laugh before the teacher moved on to the next pair "So, you like the way I am" Matt teases "Shut up!" I roll my eyes elbowing him. 

"Sorry, but we have roses to give up" The popular girl of our grade says walking into the classroom "How many roses do you think Juli's going to get this year?" Chris whispers from behind us "She's already gotten three" Matt mocks "Three! Where are they?" Chris whispers in disbelief, "I gave one to Matt and chucked the other two in the bin" I say, hating Valentine's Day more than anyone. "Matt? Why did you give one to Matt?" Nick questions "Because if I don't no one else will" I joke smiling as I look over at Matt who just rolls his eyes. 

"Julia" The girl in the year above us, walks over and places two more stupid roses on my desk before a bouquet of them and walks away. I know the bouquet cost like thirty dollars. "You got a bouquet?!" Nick whispers, next to Alahna beside me and Matt "Someone's got a crush on Juli" Alahna teases "Who doesn't have a crush on Juli?" Nick jokes as I slide Chris one of my flowers and hand Nick one too. "You, Nick, You. You don't have a crush on me" I laugh handing Alahna a rose from the bouquet. "People have obviously wanted to spend money on you and give you something" Nick explains "If they knew me," I say standing up "They'd know I hate Valentine's day and this shit" I finish dropping the rest of the bouquet in the trash bin before walking back to my seat and chatting with my friends for the rest of the homeroom. 

"Wait, hang on. I grabbed the wrong book, I'll see you guys in class" I say to Alahna as we had our next class together. Nodding her off to the classroom, I quickly hurry to my locker so I won't be so late for my class. Opening my locker, I grab my biology book which I need, seeing a piece of paper folded, not that well. Grabbing it curiously, unfolding the paper and starts reading the small note. 

Juli, you don't know this, but I love you and I've told you this a million times, but you don't love me the same way I love you. I love you as more than a friend. I love you in the way that you hate and I know you hate this affection and Valentine's but I need you to know that someone actually loves you in a way you hate. I know every single about you and you know everything about me and I don't know how to express the feelings I have for you but writing allows me to express how I feel about you and I wish you weren't so naive and realise I'm right here. That I like you Juli, but your hatred for love is stopping that. I hate the way I feel about you, Juli 

Although the note is anonymous, I know who wrote the soppy note based purely on their handwriting. Shutting my locker and turning to go to my biology class and deal with this love note later. Stopping in my tracks, I see the author of the note at the end of the hall. "Matt?" I ask stepping towards him with his note in my hand as I carry my books "You read it?" He asks nervous "Is it true?" I ask scared for the answer "Do you want the honest answer?" He asks watching carefully to which I nod my head. "It's all true" He admits quietly "I didn't want to tell you and I didn't want to admit the feelings because we've been friends for so long and I don't want to ruin our friendship" Matt explains "I really hate how I feel about you" He finishes, which makes me smile as his cheeks turn pink. "I hate the way I feel about you too," I say quietly which I know takes him by surprise "Really?" Matt asks watching me carefully, I nod as I smile "I've got to get to class, but let's talk later" I say before wandering off to my biology class. 




**I watched To All The Boys I Loved Before while writing this chapter so that's why it's disgustingly bad and maybe lovely. Sorry. Byeeeee Charlie**
