The Love Notes

When I was in middle school I used to like this guy, lets call him billy. It was January, we were back from winter break, and Valentine's was a few weeks away. I decided to send him little love notes. Everyday I would leave a folded little note with a Hershey's kiss on top of the note. He would sit a few rows away from me and I would always see him when he opened the note an ate the chocolate. Whenever we would pass each other, I would smile at him in a friendly way and he would do the same. I would then laugh silently because he didn't know it was me. Though, a week before Valentine's I gave up. A few months later, they moved me behind him. We started talking about cars, and cameras. Later he started calling me Einstein because of my grades. One day, I said a stupid joke and he laughed for 4 minutes straight, he then told me "You know, I dunno why I never decided to talk to you, you are funny, intelligent, cute, and I feel you understand me so well. I like you." I was shocked because I had given up on him and now he wanted to be all up on me. I decided to tell him I was the one sending him notes. I shocked him and he took out a little envelope with the love notes.
