Jack walked into the school, moving quickly through the crowd of smelly kids. He caught a glimpse of his locker and relief washed over his body. Jaeden would be waiting there for him. He wove through a few more people. As he neared his locker he felt a pair of hands on his back, and he hit the floor with a thump.

He felt the tears sting behind his eyes before sitting up and trying to get his stuff together. "Awww Jackie! Dropped all his stuff on the floor!" Wyatt cooed. "Hey!" Jaeden could feel his blood boiling as he ran over to Jack's side. Wyatt's face visibly softened as he watched Jaeden whisper something in Jacks ear. Jack giggled lightly and Finn couldn't hold back his grin as he heard his giggle. He pulled Wyatt aside. "The lyric prank starts today. I have the perfect song."

The bell rang and everyone headed to their first class of the day. During his Math class, Finn started to write his first segment of lyrics. He couldn't stop thinking about this morning. His heart ached when he saw Jack hit the floor. Must be heart burn or something. But his giggle was what made him think this song was the one he wanted to do. It was perfect.
"FINN!" A few giggles were heard from around the classroom.
"Yes?"
"I asked you what pi times x was if x equals two."
"Pi equals 3.14 and 3.14 times two is 6.28."
"Thank you Finn. Now, moving on."
See, Finn was actually a really smart kid. His lazy approach made him find the quickest ways to do his work, and it ended up making him smarter in the long run. Everyone thought he was a airhead, but they're wrong. He aced almost all his classes, got all his work in on time, and most teachers loved him. Especially Ms. Hargrove. But she gives him creepy old lady vibes, so he tries to stay away from her. When the lunch bell rang Finn ran out the class room to get to Jacks locker to slip the note in. He was stopped a few times by random girls but he made it through. He slipped the note in and made his way to the cafeteria.

Jack watched as Finn walked away. What was he doing on this side of the building? His locker was on the other side. "Come on Jack! I wanna get good seats!" He complained, stretching out the e in seat. Jack rolled his eyes and opened his locker and watched as a little slip of paper fell out.

princess,
we have so much in common
we argue all the time
you always say I'm wrong
I'm pretty sure I'm right
love,
anonymous

Jaeden squealed when he finished reading, and Jack was the color of a tomato when this person called him princess. "You have a secret admirer!" Jaeden sang loudly. Jack pressed a hand over his mouth. "Tell the whole world why don't you." Jaeden smirked. "Gladly." Jack looked horrified as Jaeden went toward the cafeteria singing  'Jack has a secret admirer' at the top of his lungs. He kept his head down as he speed walked through the hall, to catch up with a skipping Jaeden.

Who would even write this note? He didn't know anyone even knew him!
