Life Of The Poet; Katherina

The failed revelation

During the night, Katherina could not sleep.  She was wondering if she was going to receive a reply from "the secret admirer". Katherina had been so overwhelmed by the recent happenings in her life that she hadn't written for a while. She got up and decided to write

Prior to this moment
Poetry and darkness
Had overwhelmed my weary heart
My head was in constant torment with my well being
However, as I pen down this piece of mine My life is going through a slow process
Called CHANGE

After writing this she retired to her bed, but she couldn't sleep a wink. She was a bit scared that the sender could have been making a mistake. She texted Jessie and Jessie told her to sleep and forget about it.

******************

The next morning, Katherina was ready to receive a reply from the sender. But there was none. Ouch! That got to her. So she was right after all. It was a mistake. She was getting her books from her locker when the janitor approached her. He gave her a piece of paper, didn't say a word and just left. When Katherina opened the letter, it read

" All I need for my void soul
Is to love your entire being
Loving you from afar
Can quench the long desired thirst of you
You are my other half; this i know
But will I tell you this; this i don't
Will you push me away?
Will you embrace me?
These words of mine are for only you
My dearest charm
KATHERINA

Ok! So the sender wasn't making a mistake after all. She was dying to meet this person. Who is capable of loving this mystery girl? She laughed at the sender because if he was loving from afar, then he didn't know her true personality. Didn't he know that she was the only "serial killer" in this school? She found this entire secret admiration thing hilarious. She showed Jessie the letter and was bent on uncovering the identity of this person. Anyway, they went to look for the janitor to ask who gave him the letter. Mr Jordan was cleaning the teacher's toilet when they found him. The janitor was not interested  in all this "teenage nonsense" as he called it. " Look kiddos, I left my sweater in one of the closets. So I came back in the evening to retrieve it.  That was when I saw a guy opening one of the lockers . I thought it was  a burglar. So I took a baton and proceeded to hit him. He promised that he wasn't a burglar and he gave me the letter to give to the owner of the locker. I had no idea who that was. So I waited for whoever owned the locker; which appeared to be you and gave you the letter". "Ok, thank you so much! But if I may ask, did you see what the guy looks like? " Katherina asked. "No. It was dark and I could even barely see my way around. But if it will help, he was limping when he left because I hit him. So you are looking for a boy with an injured leg" Mr Jordan answered. He was already getting tired of this conversation. Katherina was thrilled with this information. She will definitely find this person.

**********************

There was one thing left for Katherina and Jessie to do; look for a limping boy. How and where will they start from????!!!!!! Jessie could swear that she had seen that writing before. They had asked around and its like all the boys had knee injuries!!! There was only one thing left for Katherina to do. "What!!! Are you crazy? You could get hurt!" Jessie exclaimed after Katherina told her that she would sneak into school at night. Jessie was definitely not in support of this crazy idea but nothing could change Katherina's mind. She just wanted to know who liked her. Was it so bad??

***************************

That night, Katherina had prepared herself for her mission. While on the other hand, Jessie kept on wondering where she had seen that writing before. She knew she had seen it somewhere. Jessie was in her room thinking as hard as she could. She looked at the letter she held onto and BINGO! She knew who the sender was. But she had to confirm it. She got up and dialed her phone "We need to talk. Where are you?"

*******************

Katherina was in school just waiting for the sender to arrive. All of a sudden, a van pulled up in front of the school. They were all masked up and besides everywhere was dark so she couldn't really see. At this point, Katherina was really curious. Who were these people? So she hid and secretly watched them. " So boys remember the plan" one of them said. That voice sounded really familiar. They hacked into a locker and placed something in it. What was that? Then they proceeded and wrote the words "STUPID BITCH" on her locker. What?????!!!!! Katherina was about to storm out and reprimand them when she felt someone pull her backwards and cover her mouth. She could feel this person's breath on her. " shhhhh. Don't make a sound. Those guys are dangerous" This person said in a lowered tone. She was getting confused. Who was this? Why was he protecting her? He led her out of the school through the back. She didn't get a chance to see this person's face. He left in a hurry like someone was after him. She was dumbfounded !! Who was this? By the time, Katherina had come back to where she was scouting for her secret admirer, everyone was gone and her "secret admirer" never showed up
As Katherina walked home, she was perplexed. Who vandalised her locker and why? who saved her? why did her secret admirer not show up? Or was the guy that saved her the secret admirer? She didn't even know what he looked like!
What an eventful night!
Was the guy who saved her the secret admirer?
Who does Jessie think is the secret Admirer?
