Axial Johansen stood at his locker and waited for Caleb Miller to come around the corner and open his locker. Axial had been secretly leaving notes in Caleb's locker for a five months now. He still remembered the first one he wrote.
Dear Caleb,
You know who I am, but we never truly speak.
I'd love to be open with you but my dignity is weak.
I have grown feelings for you that I can not explain.
I just can't seem to get you out of my brain.
I'm trying to figure things out, and wait for a sign from above.
But for now I will just call you , My Love
Sincerely,
Your secret admirer
xoxo
He remembered when he opened that first note. That cheesy poem he wrote. It wasn't a great poem, heck a second grader could have wrote it, but Axial was still confused at that point. He was still dreading the fact that he felt feelings for another guy. It had been tearing him apart, but now was different. He had begun to accept himself, and realized that falling for this boy was not a bad thing. And he was falling HARD! Except he remembered when Caleb did read the note. Afterwards he had laughed. HE ACTUALLY LAUGHED! Then he crumpled it up threw it in the trash, and said;
"Oh ha ha very funny. Let's all send the faggot fake love letters; to make a fool out of him." And then he walked away...
Axial had remembered that, and he remembered thinking, how could he think like that? How can he think that everyone is out to get him? I'll prove him wrong. I'll prove to him that I actually care about him.
The day after that Axial had written another note and put it in his locker.
Dear Caleb,
Why? Why do you doubt me, my love? I watched you yesterday as you mocked my note and threw it in the trash. You took my feelings, and crumpled them like the piece of paper I wrote them on. Yet still, I am not angry. I can't be. You have every right to be doubtful the way people treat you just because you are gay. They do not matter to me, my love. I told you before and I will write it again. I care about you, and I will prove it to you even if I have to write to you everyday.
Sincerely,
Your secret admirer
xoxo
That time when Caleb opened his locker, and the note fluttered down he had looked surprised. Axial had sworn that he had seen his mouth hang open as he bent down to pick it up. Then he read it, and smiled. Axial couldn't tell if it was a good smile or a bad one.
Then something surprising happened. Caleb took out a piece of paper and wrote something down. He wrote for a short while and then flooded the paper, gathers his stuff, put the note in his pocket, closed his locker, and stuck the paper on the outside of it.
Axial watched and waited until he had walked all the way around the corner and to his next class. Most everyone was clearing out of the hall when he actually got the courage to take the note and open it.
Dear secret admirer,
If you truly are who you say you are, and aren't just some jerk looking for something smaller to mess with, then I am sorry if I hurt you're feelings. However, I still don't fully trust you, so prove it prove to me that you are not messing with me. Tell me why you picked me.
Signed,
your 'love' Caleb
Axial smiled at the note, and then carefully put it in his pocket, and walked to class.
