The Candlestick People

Chapter 3

 When I got home, I did my homework. When I finished, I got the stick-it note out. I read it. Then I read it again. And again. And again. And again. And again. I was STUNNED. The note said:

Helloe. Mi nam is unknon. I lov u. Met mi tomorow @ the bij tre Atfer shcool.

Wish to kiss, unknon

Like I said, stunned. I hid the note in my room. I did NOT want Katya to get her paws on this. I sat on my bed. Rehearse, I thought, that will get your mind off things.

I rehearsed. Mom watched me. She said I was perfect. I thought she said that because she is my Mom. I went upstairs and read. I finished the book. I got my candlephone out. I played Dragonland for a while. I got off my candlephone and went to bed. I had completely forgotten about the love note!

The next day, I went to class. We rehearsed. A LOT. We practiced until it was perfect. We were amazing! After school, I debated whether to go to the tree or not. I did.

I got to the tree, extremely nervous. No. One. Was. There. Wait, is that a stick-it note? I walked over. It was. It said:

You fell for it. I can't believe it. As if I would be that dumb to meet you so you knew who I was. I do have a crush on you, but you will spend the rest of your life wondering who I am.

Unknown

I was so angry, I imagined kicking the tree, and I feel my face turn red.. I made a fool of myself! No, this is not my fault, he made a fool of me! Why did I have to think he was dumb because of his bogus bad spelling?!

Okay, I must admit, I was still pleased that he has a crush on me but, this was not okay! Anyway, I was so mad! I ran back home and did my HW, trying to keep tears from falling. I rehearsed and as I was, I realized that someone had messaged me.

Hey,

I'm sorry for writing that stick-it note. I saw you running away and realized I had hurt your feelings. I do want to see you, and you see me. I love you,

-Unknown

I felt better about this. A little bit. I'm still annoyed that he said something so dumb, but it made me feel way better than before. I was finally at peace about this matter. Okay, I was ecstatic! I put away my candlephone and finished rehearsing. I ran upstairs to keep anyone from seeing it.Okay, I needed to get a hold of myself. I could not let Katya figure out about this. She would DEFINITELY try to find out who it is. I heard my door open and Mom came in.

"What are you so happy about? Did you already hear the good news?" she asked me.

"Just figured something out. What good news?" I answered and asked her excitedly.

"We're adopting Delilah!" she exclaimed.
