Dear Anonymous,

Dear Anonymous,

Where do I even start with you? You are an interesting human. You are an interesting human that I'm quite interested in. I'm not sure why, but there's this weird feeling when I'm around you, a good one though.

Some people think you're annoying or too hyper. Sometimes those people are right.

I didn't know you too well last year. All I knew is that everyone had a crush on you. This year I figured out why. But first let me clarify, I do not have a crush on you at the moment.

You're super sweet and fun to be around. You're a ball of pure energy. You light up the room. You're also quite attractive, but that's besides the point. You're athletic and sarcastic and so great at being effortlessly yourself.

You are what I like to call an emotion poker. You're one of the few people in my life that I don't necessarily have a crush on, but every once and awhile, it's like your smile pokes my heart as a reminder that you're still here.

I'm writing this because you would not stop poking at my emotions today.

In first period we had a lockdown drill and we were sitting on the floor near each other when you started nudging my knee with your foot.

Then in PE you played foot tag with me, it was almost like footsie. Right before that period was over, you also decided to pinch my cheeks because they are so chubby.

You make my heart hurt. It feels like I'm betraying other important people in my life, but I can't help it.

I can't stop thinking about you. The way you ruffle my hair, and step on my feet, and touch my face by pinching my cheeks; the poking drives my emotions mad. I really wish I knew why I feel this way, because all this poking is getting annoying.

Sincerely,
Me
