My secret Valentine ♡ The Music Freaks

4 - Obsession

I quickly slid the letter into Jake's locker as I saw him coming this way. I walked back to my locker, pretending nothing happened. But when I opened it, a folded piece of paper fell out. Do I have a secret admirer myself? I guess I'll never know if I don't read it.

I picked up the paper from the ground and opened it. Whoever wrote it looked like they put a lot of pressure into the pencil. The writing was bold and dark. I scanned the letter to see if it had  anybody's name on it, but no. It wasn't a love letter either. There the letter read:

please meet me at the library during lunch. I have something to talk about with you.

And that was it. Just that. Wondering who that person was, I put the letter back into my locker. Should I meet them or not? Maybe I should ask Jake. 

When I turned around, I saw him reading my second letter. He was starting to blush as he read, and a soft grin came onto his face. He looked cute whenever he blushed. I quickly closed my locker and went over to him.

"Is that the secret admirer of yours?" I asked.

"Yeah. I found a clue in the letter. It says they're in my class, and their a weird person. Who is someone who's weird and in my class?" Jake wondered out loud.

"I mean.. Daisy's not weird but she is in your class." I said to him.

"So.. you're saying whoever is writing these isn't Daisy?" He asked in a disappointed tone. That kinda hurt, but I wasn't giving up. Jake likes me, and I know it.

"Well, even if it's not Daisy, doesn't the writer sound sweet? I mean they keep talking about how much they love you and stuff like that." I tried convincing him.

"Maybe.." Jake quietly sighed. I know he likes me. Milly is right. Ever since the ice skating trip it's been quite obvious Jake is in love with me.. i think. 

"But anyway.." I said, starting up something new. "You never know. Maybe Daisy considers herself weird. Or maybe she's weird once you get to know her more."

He looked at me again, this time with a more convinced look on his face. This was making me lose the 'game' even more. I know damn well how it's gonna end.

Jake is confidently gonna guess Daisy and it turns out wrong because of me. I've been telling him that it's Daisy when it clearly isn't. Then he'll be disappointed to see that it was actually me, and that might make our relationship awkward.

I still have hope I guess.

It was lunchtime. I ran to my locker, almost completely forgetting about the person who wanted to meet me until I saw the piece of paper, dangling in the top of my locker again.

Oh, shoot! Right! I thought to myself. I quickly tried to get myself organised before taking off and zooming to the library. Panting when I reached it, I scanned the place for people who might want to see me. The only person I saw was Lia, and I doubt she would want to say a word to me. She left me in freshmen for people who were way better than me.

"Oh. You're early." Lia made eye contact with me. I guess I jinxed it.

"You? What do you want?" I grumpily asked.

"Oh, what do I want? Think about yourself, Hailey. What do you want the most?" Lia's response made me confused.

"What do you mean?" I felt dumb for asking, but I still kept my intimidating tone.

"Hailey, You're too much." Her saying that made me realize, maybe I was the one being too much. I didn't know beef could slide so quickly.

"Don't play quiet. You know that yourself. Maybe even Jake knows." Lia saying that made me realize, maybe I was the one who was obvious. Jake probably knows I like him, and that'll be kinda embarrassing.
