LETTER GIRL (KathBie)

Chapter: 7 On The Quest

I arrived late for homeroom that day. The teacher yelled at me as I sat down but Albie just smiled at me with amusement.

He glanced at me and slowly passed me a note.

KATH!,

I have a secret admirer. You got to check out this letter. I'll meet you at break to show you.

My heart speed up fast as I read the note. 

I glanced back at Albie and nodded.

Throughout my first three periods I was out of it. I couldn't concentrate during class. I even got yelled at least three times. 

Finally the bell for break rang and I hurried to our secret meeting place. 

Albie turned around and rushed towards me in excitement.

"Kath..check it out!", he said as he handed me the letter.

I just re-read my letter and smiled.

"This girl must love you a lot.", I said.

Albie just smiled and said, "Hmm..this letter girl is so mysterious...I wish she should just come out and say it."

"I'm happy for you Albie..but what about Andi?", I asked.

At that Albie's smiled faded.

"She doesn't need to know.", he said blankly.

"Oh come on cheer up Albie.", I said.

Albie held my shoulders tight.

"Please don't call me crazy...but I already feel inspired by this girl." he said shyly.

My surge of feelings were welling in me.. so I did something on impulse. I locked him in a huge embrace as if I never wanted to let him go.

"Kath what's with the sudden turn of affection?", he said.

At that I pulled out of the hug.

"Nothing.. I'm just happy for you."

At that I walked away with smile on my face ignoring Albie's please for me to stay.
