unlikely love letters // quackity

three // overthinking??

      i sat in the middle of third period, looking over the note constantly. it was the only thing on my mind ever since this morning.. and nobody knows who wrote it, or so we thought. we asked henry, brandon, aksel, alex and even tyler to no avail, and i can't get it out of my head. my emotions went wild everytime i read over the letter, analysing every little word and detail to the short note. i never knew someone loved me this much.. let alone at all. i remember when i felt like no boy would ever love me, a small little girl from a small little town.

     all of a sudden, the bell rang for lunch period. i picked up my belongings and my backpack off my chair, heading out for the classroom into the hallway. of course it was bustling with my fellow classmates; it was a struggle just to exit the class door. i finally reached my locker, finding ally there with aksel of course. she smiled at me before giving me a hug. "we missed you! i mean, i know it was only one period but we still missed you.. how was class?" i placed my books into my locker before slamming it shut again. "it was okay, i dazed off for most of it though." i admitted. she rolled her eyes. "this is the first time ive heard of you not paying 100% attention to class! seriously y/nn, what's been on your mind?"

       i sat down with all my friends. brandon, henry, tyler, aksel, ally and of course, alex. ally eyeballed me before opening her mouth. "we're going to launch an investigation." she said bluntly, making everyone stop in their tracks and mini conversations. "what on earth are you talking about, ally?" henry scoffed. "i mean is that we need to find out who gave y/n the love letter." she scoffed back. we all looked over at her, my face in a flush. "it has to be someone you idiots!" aksel quickly pulled her back closer, shushing her. "calm down, ally bear.." he said softly, making her loose her guard. she looked at him with a cutesy look, making him smile. "we'll help her out, okay?" she nodded. i glanced over at alex who was practically laughing at the both of them. gee, was he ever one for romance.

       i smiled at them both, they really did seem to care about me. plus, it was cute watching them get along so well. ally and aksel have been dating since 7th grade, and they always act like they're so head over heels for each other like in those romance movies. romeo and juliet i'm telling you. alex finally broke their lovey dovey moment with his giggles. his laugh was pretty cute, and i felt my cheeks getting warmer. ally glanced over at me, mouthing 'you're blushing y/nn..' i quickly covered my face with my hands, pretending like i didn't know.. of course someone had to say something. "ooh, you blushing y/n! you thinking of something or.. someone?" brandon put emphasis on someone to purposely make me upset. he knew how to get under my skin. "shut up brandon." i mumbled. ally gave him the death glare or the 'shut the fuck up before your nuts get crushed permanently' look and he quickly went back to conversing with henry.

       i sighed, pulling the letter out of my pocket and placing it in the middle of the table. i watched as everyone looked down at it, especially alex. i could see a small smirk on his face and a twinkle in his eye. is he hiding something, does he know who did it? i shrugged it off, while ally and aksel examined the note. the thing about them is that they're social butterflies, and know just about everyone in the school. they'd probably be able to catch the person who wrote it. then i noticed that he kept looking back up at alex, who was right in front of him. i looked at their secret language it felt like, it felt like they were trying to keep something.. quiet. it was strange since knowing them forever, the only time they did this was when something was wrong, embarrassing or they were hiding something.

      ally looked over at them too, noticing the interaction. she tapped him on the shoulder, making him place his attention back over to her. she smiled sweetly before talking. "aksel, stop eye talking with alex. we can see you two doing it constantly." he bit his lip, glancing at alex and i before looking back at her. "sorry ally bear, it's just- i think alex has some ideas about it." alex looked at him in shock, acting like he just got stabbed. she looked at him with the ally stare again, making him go back in orderly fashion. "i mean, i do yes. and i think i have more from that special person who wrote you the first one, y/nn." i began blushing hardcore as he slipped another one out of his bag. "me and aksel found this one as well. we didn't know how you'd react to the first one so we thought giving you just the one was enough for now." he smiled softly.

       another one..? who's doing this? who's writing these? is it alex or aksel? what's going on? i need to find this mysterious person, and confront them one on one. why won't they reveal their identity? and why is alex and aksel acting so weird? i need to get to the bottom of this, NOW.
