My heart skipped a beat. I couldn't believe it. "M-mother .." I quietly stammered, no one hearing what I said.
I read the letter again not believing a single word. The letter read:

' I know where your mother is, meet me outside the library at tomorrow lunchtime and I'll tell you what I know ' - Anonymous

My heart was beating so fast that I couldn't keep up with it. I was gobsmacked. It was finally my chance to find out about my mother, and I wasn't letting go of it.
" Um it's nothing Miss...Uh thanks Ollie .." I mumbled and clutched the note tightly in my hand that it started to hurt.
" Are you sure Anna ? .. Mind if I read it ?" Mrs bridge said mysteriously and before I could stop her she grabbed the note.
" Its nothing Miss ... Honestly it's nothing " I raised my voice a little higher.
" Miss its private ... " Ollie rapidly interrupted. Mrs Bridge was very keen on privacy she even has had a protest in the past about privacy.
" Oh ..then ...Very well back into class now " she replied abruptly. Me and Ollie scattered into the class like terrified rats. I mouthed ' thank you ' to Ollie before seating behind the old ,wooden table.

For the rest of the lesson ( about 10 minutes ) I sat in my crooked chair and wondered who wrote the anonymous Letter.
