Claire's POV

I woke up in the morning to my alarm and went straight to the bathroom to brush my teeth and take a bath. After I brushed my teeth I realised that my shampoo was finished so I just took my shampoo spray and sprayed it all over my hair. Then I got dressed in my uniform, took my other stuff and then I saw a note:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Claire,
Left some food for you in the fridge. I decided to go early so...ttyl!

From: The One and Only, The Beast
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ugh. When I opened the fridge, I saw a perfectly made tuna sandwich. Well, at least he made it for me.

When I reached school I saw Dove and the others chatting about something. "Omg, who is this person?" Jane asked. Dove answered," I don't know but he or she is definitely dangerous. I mean who the heck would chase down people just for a damn letter?!" "Hey guys! Are you talking about the letters?" I asked. "Yeah... I swear if I figure out who this person is I will kick their a** so hard it would look like a big, red tomato!" Kyle replied. We all laughed and got back to our seats as the teacher came in.

After class, I went to my locker to get my other books for the rest of the classes. Dove came up to get her books too and I took the chance to ask her, "Why would you think it can also be a girl? I mean unless this secret admirer is a lesbi." She answered, "Well, what if this person is a girl just trying to prank us? Either way it could be both a girl and a boy."

It was History time and as I waited for Dove who was inside the bathroom I saw a person in a black hoodie looking at me. The person was wearing sunglasses. I wasn't sure if it was a girl or as boy. Wait... isn't that the person I saw the other day with the same black hoodie? Hmm... maybe I am just paranoid again. "Umm... Claire, you okay?" Dove asked. I said, "Yeah I am just fine."

Dove and I walked into the classroom early. As Dove sat down she put her other stuff in her desk but there was something odd. There was a piece of paper stuck to one of her things and she gasped. She showed me the note and I read it
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AwW!! YoUr BoYfRiEnD tHiNkS hE cAn KiCk My A**. tOo BaD yOu GuYs DoN't KnOw WhO i Am...

LOVE,

"Okay first of all he is not my boyfriend!!! Second of all, what the heck?!?! Third of all, who is this person?" Dove declared. Just then I realised something. "Dove do you remember when you asked me if I was okay a few minutes ago?" I asked. She replied, "Yes, what's important with that?" I said, "Well, I saw a person in a black hoodie with sunglasses looking at me and I saw him the other day too doing the same thing! Do you think that person may be your Secret Admirer?" I was then interrupted the school bell and then the door opened as the teacher came in. "Let's talk about this later," Dove said.

After class, Dove immediately walked up to me and told me to call the others. I called the others and told them to meet us at the library. As we walked to the library Dove tripped over something white. I was walking ahead of her and I immediately helped her out if she was okay. She said she was and checked out what made her trip and fall. And Oh. My. Gosh.

We all sat around the big table as we talked about what happened. We all told them about the person in the black hoodie and the note. We also told them about what made her trip.
Jane said, "We have to watch out for people who are wearing black hoodies. "Wait, can you show me what made her trip again?" Kyle asked. I responded, " Here, I'll show you."

"What the heck? None of us bullied anyone, did we?" Kyle asked. Everyone shook their heads to the side. "Oh by the way guys, I have to go to a family vacation  for like 1 or 2 months. I know it's long but I have to go," Ally said while looking down. I know she didn't want to leave us in this kind of situation.

 "Well have a safe trip! Make sure to watch out for letters. I'll tell our adviser about this vacation." Dove said to her. I sighed just thinking about this situation. What did we do to experience this kind of thing?

As I was looking into thin air, I saw someone wearing a hoodie. My eyes widened and called out the others.

"Guys!! There's a person wearing a hoodie and going to our place!" I told them while panicking. Dove frowned and Ally frowned.

"Oh no.." Jane said with her eyes widened.

Kyle stood in front of us trying to protect us from the hoodied person. I held on onto Dove's arm as I worried about us. What if this is the last of us? It's just us in this place! So this person will not have second thought to kill us or to kidnap us!

"Don't go near my friends!!" Kyle shouted at the person who's going near us.

The person stopped walking and posed like she was confused. I knew it was a she because of the person's curves. She removed her hoodie and showed Jillian's face. Oh thank goodness!!

"Why are you guys acting like that?" Jillian asked confusingly. We all sighed in relief and Kyle went back to his seat.

Juliet declared, "Well first, Dove got a letter that was stuck to one of her things and it was from that freak admirer then second she trips on some piece of paper which turned out to be from you know who and then both Dove and Claire have been claiming to see a person with a black hoodie a lot that has sunglasses and we don't know if it's a girl or a boy and none off them can see the whole face just the sunglasses and...." she takes in a big breathe of air and continues, "I think that's about it!"

Jill looked surprised out how much she missed being late to their group talk -- which was no surprise considering how much Juliet said -- and quickly asked if she could see the letters.

I immediately gave her the first one as Dove gives her the second one. She slowly took time to process what was going on and once she finished all she could do was just sigh.

We all agreed to just make a group chat as it was getting pretty late and each and everyone of us went home one by one until it was only me and Dove left.

"What if we have a sleep over at your place since tomorrow is the weekend anyways?" I asked her. She immediately began texting Ally, Jane, and Jillian the same thing and we all agreed to go to hers at 8.

Later...

The girls and I knocked on Dove's door and she quickly opened the door and hugged us all really tight. Well that was a suffocating welcome, literally.

We all said our good evenings to her Mom as she was cooking our dinner. We all went to Dove's bedroom and when she opened the door, what laid in front of us was one of the biggest rooms I've ever seen -- the usual.

We all agreed to bring our homework and help each other. Just as we got cozy on the biggest bed ever, the lights immediately blanked out. 

What the HELL!!

"Guys are you there?" I blurted out. Then I felt Dove's and Ally's hands around my arm. Then I knew they were safe. I also heard the two Js swearing.

Suddenly, I heard a thud in the ground and a whimper. Either Dove or Ally's hand slipped out of my arm. Then the light sprung out again and I couldn't believe my eyes.

Right in front of us is a knocked out Dove holding a black hoodie and on the bed was a note.

Then I noticed that Dove was holding not one but five black hoodies. We all just stood there, frozen, and after a while we decided to put Dove on the bed and not tell her Mom.

After ten minutes...

"What the heck happened?" Dove whispered as she got up. We all had worried faces. "I think your Admirer just broke in...." I said.
