The next day at school I was hoping not to find a note in my locker, but sure enough there are a pink note folded up which fell out of my locker into my hand, as if planned.
"Savannah." I thought "do you really like me that much."
I opened it up and ran to Jessica's locker.
"Another note!" I said way to excited, I felt like such a girl.
"Read it!!!" She said excitedly.
"You came to Fairfax ice arena last night hope you found my clue," I read " now that I know you actually are going to look for me here's a hint or two.
I work where the young can turn old
I do best where masks are to be worn
I open up my heart when everybody is watching."
"What does that mean?" She asked snatching it from my hand "where do young turn old?"
"No idea, think you could meet me at lunch in the library to figure is out."
"Sure." She said smiling "I'll bring my Sherlock Holmes kit and everything."
I laughed "I've never seen the movie."
She shrugged "me neither."
At lunch I quickly ran to the library to find Jessica already in a seat with a pencil and note pad.
"Okay let's start." I said sitting down "where can young turn old."
"I mean there's aging." She said. "That's probably not the answer but I'll put it down for now."
"Okay next line says I do the best when masks are worn." What does that mean.
"Maybe that your secret admirer isn't comfortable in her own skin." Jessica suggests writing something down. "I mean that's kind of obvious since she's basically hiding from you with these notes."
I saw Silvia talking to the librarian. She looked at me and noticed I was looking at her.
"Oh no." I whispered.
"What's wrong." Jessica asked.
"It's Silvia she's so annoying." I saw Silvia walking toward us.
"Hey Justin." She said in her squeaky voice. "Whatcha doin"
I hide the secret admirer note "researching for an English project." I said
"Cool maybe I could help." She suggested
The bell rang just in time.
"Oh sorry." I said "lunch ended we gotta go."
I ran out of the library with my stuff.
"Hey wait up." Said a girls voice
"Oh no." I thought "is it Silvia again."
I turned around and saw Jessica running toward me.
"What was that about." Jessica asked.
"Ugh, I just can't stand her." I said "her voice is so annoying, she's so clingy, and her obviously fake blonde hair..."
"Wow wow wow, do you have something against blondes." Jessica asked raising one eyebrow.
"No I just hate when girls dye there hair unnaturally blonde it's disgusting." I said "but your hair is nice I like the dirty blonde natural color."
"Thanks I guess." Jessica said then stopped to think." Hey maybe Silvia is your secret admirer, I mean she seems to really like you, and I saw her snooping around your locker"
"Well I hope it's not Silvia," I said "she creeps me out."
"There's my theatre class." Jessica said " and lucky for you Savannah is in my class."
The theatre room was a big black room and had chairs placed around the room in a U shape. There were many metal masks hanging on the wall, a group of kids were crowding around a piece of paper taped to the wall.
"I got Lady montegue." Said on of the girls.
"I'm capulet juliets father." Said another girl.
"I'm the old nurse." Said a red headed girl coming toward us. "Jessica you're juliet."
Savannah ran toward us "Im mercationa whatever that means."
"Mercutio" corrected the red head .
"Whatever." Said Savannah.
"0h hey." Savannah said noticing me.
"Hi so..." I started then The bell for class rung "damn it gotta go."
