Michael ended up apologizing to me throughout the day as I let out a sigh finally forgiving him but warned him again about things that I didn't enjoy which include, magic trick, black balloons, creepy vans and anything else that I could name off the list as he had a notebook set in his lap writing everything down as I smiled a bit at his attempt to try and remember then once the bell rang for lunch I got up to my feet walking off to the board in the hallway looking over the lunch options while Michael stood next to my side. Build your own burger or mac and cheese. I took Michael's hand as we headed off to the cafeteria. His body stiffened a bit as the boys were already sitting at the table glaring at Michael after this morning.

"(y/n) I'm sorry but I'm going to the library I'll see you after class"

"Okay" I simply said. He stood there looking at me for a minute before walking away. I wasn't going to follow after him. I didn't want to sit in the library again eating those bits and pieces while the silence greeted me instead of laughter. I got in line waiting around picking up my tray filling it with a few things then handed the women some money as I ran back over to the table sitting down beside Gwen as she smiled pulling me into a side hug as I pulled her close before digging into my meal while joking around with the boys as we all burst out laughing I soon turned my head to Notice Michael walking in with Moose next to his side as I question it a bit but left it alone for now as I dug back into my food ignoring the scene in front of me. Once I was finished, I dumped the rest of the food, throwing my dirty tray with the others as I turned my attention over to Michael again who was joking around with Moose and hanging out with his friend.

"Boys" I said, grabbing their attention as I pointed over to Michael and Moose sitting together.

"So, he finally found his fucking people" Vance said laughing a bit as the others started laughing too, I shook my head slightly shoving him back as I took a seat. The bell rang as I jumped out of my seat walking off to Michael as he looked over at me with a smile as Moose was standing off to the side looking up at me giving a wink as I scoffed shaking my head.

"Michael, can we talk"

"Okay is something wrong"

"Well, I'm warning you that Moose is the big bully around here so just be careful"

"Oh okay, thanks (y/n), Umm I have a question"

"What's that question?"

"Would you like to try again on Saturday for another date?"

"Sorry but I can't I'll be busy hanging out with my friend"

"Oh, the boys?"

"No" I said as I noticed a slight look of relief filled his face. I didn't comment on it though as I walked off from Michael and Moose heading to my locker to grab my backpack when another note slipped out my locker. I caught the letter before it had hit the ground as I quickly unfolded it and wondered what this secret admirer wrote for me this time.

It was a few months ago when I saw you walking down the hallway catching everyone's attention. I didn't know how to talk to you as I caught sight of you wondering where a beautiful girl like you has been hiding. The way your smile could light up my day. The days you cry I feel your pain, the days you grow frustrated I want to stand by your side and help you. I left you a gift. I hope you love it.
From your secret admirer till we talk once again

I dug into my locker pulling out a book with a blank cover as I flipped through the pages finding hundreds of endless words. Maybe this was a clue to finding the person I stuffed the book into my bag throwing it over my shoulder slamming my locker shut as I was heading to my next class then after another class and more till Gym finally came around. I was excited to hang out with Griffin as I was changing out my clothes to my gym uniform heading out of class as I noticed a crowd forming nearby. I got confused as I made my way up pushing past a few people to see Michael and Moose fighting as Michael swung his fist aiming at Moose's face as everyone was shouting and chanting Michael's name. I wasn't surprised as I had a feeling this would happen, but I would stick around to watch as I went to the boy's locker room waiting for Griffin as he came out turning his attention to the fight slightly grabbing my hand as I pulled him away to Gym.

"I warned him" I mumbled grabbing a basketball dribbling it around as Griffin nodded his head holding his own basketball as he was bouncing it on the ground. everyone was gathering in as they all were talking about what Michael and Moose had done the gym teacher blew his whistle grabbing everyone attention as he went on to explain what we would be doing today as he decided today would be a choice day. I was cheering inside as I kept playing with the basketball while Griffin decided to read his book as I looked over at him, I should have brought the book I got but it was too late now as I kept playing basketball once again before the bell rang as I threw the basketball with the others rushing off to the locker room changing back into my clothes grabbing my bag and walking out wanting to go home already as I walked past the nurse office notice Michael sitting on the nurse bed holding a tissue to his bloody nose as he looked out seeing me as he gave me a slight smile. I gave him a small smile as I ran out the school into the cold snow pulling my jacket close walking down the street heading home.
