Caesar's Rose

Chapter 63

"What do you mean you don't know, Rosy?" Joey asked.

I furrowed my brows at the cupcake and rose in my locker.

How did it get in here?

I literally locked my locker.

Who put this here?

"What's wrong?" Joey asked.

I moved a bit for him to see.

"The hell?"

We shared a look and looked back at the locker.

"Who placed this here?" Joey asked.

"I don't know." I shrugged.

"You locked it, right?"

I nodded. "Yes. I unlocked it with my keys right now. Weren't you looking?"

"I guess I was." He said, looking at the things.

I looked at it as well.

"A rose and a cupcake," he said.

"Who would have put them here and how did that person do it?"

"That person must have taken the keys from you without you knowing and doing this," he said.

I furrowed my brows.

"Oh, there is a card." He said, reaching for the car under the cupcake and flowers and taking it out.

He opened it and leaned closer to read whatever was written on it.

"Hey, Rose. I am sorry for CJ's awful behavior towards you at the cafeteria."

My heart picked up as I shared a look with Joey.

We continued reading.

"Here's a little something for compensation. Happy birthday, Rose."

"What the hell?" Joey asked.

"Who could that be?" I asked, looking around the hallway. Everyone is walking to and fro, minding their business.

I can't tell who did this?

Joey shrugged. "A secret admirer."

I furrowed my brows. "A secret admirer?"

"I mean, that's the only explanation for this. The person didn't mention his or her name," Joey said.

I let out a breath.

"You have a secret admirer, Rosy," Joey said, chuckling happily.

"Um... I don't think it is something to celebrate about." I said, getting uncomfortable.

His shoulders fell. "Why did you say that?"

"It is creepy."

"Okay, how is this creepy?" He asked, placing his hand on his hip.

"The person placed a cupcake, a rose and a cake in my locker. I literally locked it with my keys before going to class."

Joey raised a brow. "Like one said, he or she might have taken your keys without you knowing and prepared for this surprise. That's what secret admirers do, girlfriend."

I scoffed. "What? Okay, the person apologized on the card about what CJ did to me. That's odd. CJ and I were the only ones in the cafeteria. How does the person know what CJ did?"

Joey furrowed his brows.

"Okay, maybe it is creepy."

I heaved a sigh. "See?"
