A Love Note from My Neighbor!

A Love Letter from My Neighbor!

Kira,

I think I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?

Ken

***

My first love note on the first day of the new school year. I am now a second year student but still uncertain if I am prepared to have my first boyfriend.

Ken is a childhood friend. We are neighbors and I always overhear my mom and his mom talking about plans of getting us married someday. It isn't a bad idea. At least I don't have to look for love like others do and fail miserably. But somehow, I imagine my love life to be different.

Ken used to look awkward when we were little but now in his teens, it's as if a fairy godmother visited him and gave him a major makeover. I admit, he is handsome. His eyes are a captivating blue color despite being Asian. His fair skin complements his wavy chestnut brown hair. He now wears contact lenses instead of his dorky-looking glasses. At times though he still uses glasses but he probably had them replaced with a frame that fits him perfectly. To top it off, he is one of the top players in his basketball team. He's quite popular among girls.

But, he passes this note to me during homeroom. Of course, this takes me by surprise. I had to think any positive physical attribute I possess and shake my head in disappointment when I realize there is none. Or at least for me.

I catch him looking at me and I instantly blush. My heart pounds on my ribcage as if it wants to tell him yes, you can have her! I think he even winked and smiled at me!

But wait! I need to think this over. It's just the first day of school, after all!

Thank you for reading my novel! I cannot promise to update fast but maybe I will try my best to do so if I receive your feedbacks. :)  This is only a very rough draft and I may consider revising and improving if his picks up. xx
