What else is even there to say? I can tell you we're getting close to the big finale and I'm sure you won't just be shocked. You'll feel so bad for me I swear to god. It's not even what you're probably thinking. 

February 17th

Wow well, I actually quite liked the free nuggets so this time, I hid them. My mom didn't find 'em and I got to eat it all in the privacy of my closet–worry not, I cleaned up! But, this time, the letter was a bit too creepy and I knew this was getting too far. 

This time, it went;

Dear Janie, 

I miss you. Why do you keep saying you're not getting my lovely gifts? I'm sending them to you everyday, my love

Love, H.

I know, it makes no sense. Who was he?! Why was he contacting me and how come I never got his messages I haven't even talked to him. I tried to recall anyone that I could have texted. I couldn't remember anyone who's name started with H and this was starting to bother me now. 

When my mom got home, I told her that we needed to go to Fried n' Friendly the very next day. She asked if I got the box even today and I had to say no–she would have demanded to have it confiscated–that means thrown out in my mom's language–and I couldn't have her knowing I ate it. She'd go about stranger danger and eating things from people I didn't know or whatever.

I invited Jumana over and shared the card with her. She was frowning deeply at it. 

"Wait... Didn't Fried n' Friendly tell you that the guy ordered in advance? How did he write this card?" she looked up at me.

"I don't know, maybe he's sending the cards daily... Which means he should be at Fried n' Friendly tomorrow. Or at least someone he sends. We need to go there." she concluded.

"When?" I raised my arms at her. "We have school!"

"No look, I know the place. They take 30 minutes to prepare a delivery and if you order something for someone, especially during valentine week, they'll run to deliver the package immediately. You've been getting the packages around 5PM every day, we need to be there around 4.15." she was so philosophical and deductive sometimes I was so proud of her and hugged her.

"You're such a genius I swear! But we're still losing one hour of class." I said slowly.

"Better to have a stalker out of your life than to suffer forever."
