All summer long I hung with my friends having fun forgetting the trouble I suffered at the end of the year. Each week a delivery guy showed up with a gift and note addressed to me.

Every time I heard a knock at the door I rushed to it to find another delivery for me. I actually looked forward to them then something strange happened, a number was attached with the words text me.

I didn't recognize the number considering I had everybody and their brothers on my phone. Then I remembered about my parents and their texting and decided to ask dad but he claimed it wasn't him.

The only way I would find out is to take a chance. I opened my phone and composed a message.

Hello?

I waited for a few minutes. Then typed again.

Hello?

Okay maybe I dialed the number wrong or this is a really bad joke. I decided it was a joke and tossed my phone on the bed groaning in frustration. Sometimes things are too good to be true. Then I heard a ding. I picked up my phone and saw a new message, throwing my phone.

Oh god, what if this wasn't a joke? What if this was real? What if this guy is a serial killer? Ugh, what did I do? Then my phone ding again. I picked it up and saw two messages waiting. I opened them and read.

I see you got my gift.-SA
Hello? Anyone there?-SA

I took a deep breath before I decided to text back then another message popped up.

Guess not :(-SA

No, no -SA
Why-A

Okayyyy -A

Austin came into my room, "Allie hurry up! Everyone is already at the swimming hole."

"Okay give me a minute." Austin left and I went back to texting.

Hate to cut this short but gtg-A
Oh, where are u going?-SA
Local swimming area, with my friends-A
Okay maybe I'll see you there ;)-SA
Wait, do I know you?-A
Maybe, gtg-SA

Well, that was weird. Oh well probably some dorky guy at school too scared to talk to me. I threw my phone in my bag and headed out the door.

Secret Admirer

I looked at my phone with a smile. I'm glad I decided to try Cupid's method. Although I had to step up my game. Allie would catch on quicker if I didn't do this just right and I needed her to fall in love with me before that happened.

Thinking about that ass hurting her made my blood boil. She didn't deserve it and on top of it, he used Cupid's advice just to win her heart making it nearly impossible for me to try. It wasn't fair watching him fake his way to her heart when I've always loved her. Watching them every day burned me especially after suffering my own heartbreak, not this time. Allie would be mine.

I grabbed my bag and headed to the swimming hole.

I was sitting on a towel on a rock with Sasha and Megan talking while the guys swung into the water.

"Did you seriously text him?" Sasha asked.

"Yeah."

"Doesn't that seem creepy? I mean he doesn't want to talk on the phone but text?"
