unlikely love letters // quackity

two // the seconding

        ally and i walk into the cafeteria; she walks into the line and grabs herself yogurt while i grab myself a pizza pocket. we sat down and she looks at me. "what's going on? you haven't acted this way since you met that one guy at camp." she said, taking a spoonful of her yogurt. i take a bite of my pizza pocket in silence. "i guess i've just been thinking about someone.." i say. "alex?" she says, my face going red. "not too loud! but yes, i do think about him and have been all morning.." i tell her, guilt showing in my voice. "well, don't worry about it, knowing alex and all he might like you back for christ's sakes." she said, being her cheerful self. i smile at her, thinking of him liking me back. would he really truly like me back?

        all of a sudden, i see brandon rushing up to us in a hurry. "hey y/n, hey ally! sorry to bother you both but i heard through aksel that someone wanted to give this to you!" he said, handing a note to me before scurrying away out of the cafeteria. ally sighs. "that boy is nuts, also why can't aksel just come and give it to you? is he that scared? geesh.." she rolled her eyes, watching brandon rush out of the cafeteria. i gazed down at the letter he had handed me in confusion. "this is from someone..?" i thought. i turned the letter over, seeing it was sealed with a heart sticker. my eyes looked up at ally, as she looked back at me in shock. "did someone forget it's not valentine's day yet?" she said.

i opened the letter carefully, trying not to tear it into bits. ally waited patiently, watching me open it. she was of course hyper to find out but i've never seen her be so focused on something. i unfolded the letter, revealing beautifully neat handwriting and a small flower at the bottom of the page, hand drawn. i was taken aback by how gorgeous it looked. i read a few sentences to myself before i read i out loud for ally.

       "dear my beautiful rose, my love. you truly are the highlight of my life. you may not know it yet, but i adore you, all my thoughts are filled with you. you're the most important person in my mind, and i wish you understood my attraction to you is too much to explain in this small little letter. everytime i look at you, it's like looking at the sunset. bright, goregous, hypnotizing to the eyes. i love you so much, and i will do anything for you my rose. signed.."

        the signature was nowhere to be found, just an empty spot on the page. i was in shock as my face was almost blood red from blushing so intensely hard. ally looked up at me, practically laughing. "your lucky day girl! you got a secret admirer!" she shouted, smiling widely. i looked up at her, smiling a bit. my mind was racing again. who was it from? why is this so..romantic? why is the handwriting so nice? does someone actually see me that way? "we NEED to find out who gave you that!" she said excitedly. i nodded slightly as she grabbed my hand, running out of my cafeteria out into the school field. i was practically being dragged by the end of it, until she finally stopped. i sighed loudly, noticing him with aksel. i immediately had the thoughts again.

       ally let go of my hand, calling out to aksel who gazed over at her, and walked over. he placed his arm around her as she looked up at him. she's the shortest person amongst our group, and he was the tallest, so everytime they were together it really was adorable. i wanted to shout awh, but he broke the silence between all of us. "what's up sugar?" he smiled, her face in a slight pink blush. i swear those two were the cutest couple i had ever seen, it's like romeo and juilet but they're both my best friends. "we heard from brandon that you found that letter y/nn got. explain yourself!" she pouted, looking at him with puppy dog eyes. "calm down sugar, i was the one who found the letter and noticed it was for y/n.. i didn't write it."

       she perked up, but knowing her she'd still bug him about who it really was. "who did you get it from?" she asked, his face looking confused. "i don't know actually..i had happened to find it when me and alex were near his locker. it had no signature or anything, was just there pretty much. brandon passed by, running from henry trying to steal something from him i'm guessing..and we asked him to give it to y/n." he explained. she sighed, looking over at me. "really is a secret isn't it?" i nodded.

        but i really did wonder who did it. my mind kept screaming alex but he wouldn't do something like that.. or would he? wouldn't he just tell me? i mean, he can't be that scared. plus, his handwriting normally isn't that fancy. i kept re reading the letter, thinking of alex with the dumbest smile on my face. maybe it really is a secret.. or maybe it's really a dream come true..
