don't worry
this isn't the real letter
check out your locker after school ends
<3
i sighed as i shoved the ripped bit of lined paper into my pocket. maybe if i'm getting the letter after class that means that they want to meet up after school! or maybe they just didn't have time to write today's letter yet.
i shook my head at the thought, as if my brain were just an etch a sketch and i could shake the thought out of existence.
the dance is tomorrow and i'm really hoping the mystery writer will ask me out. i want to ask him out myself but i can't really do that.
but now for history, which has slowly become one of my favorite classes. it may be a little cheesy to say but going to history and seeing simon is the highlight of my day, even more so than football or any class i previously called my favorite.
simon is already in his seat fidgeting with some frayed strings on his jacket. looking around everyone seemed nervous, a signature sign that tomorrow was the dance and tonight was the biggest game of the season.
i caught simon's eye and he smiled cheekily at me. i took my seat and class went on as usual, our teacher clearly not caring that no one was paying attention. i myself wasn't paying attention either, my focus was set on the blond in front of me. he was actually paying attention to the lesson but occasionally turned back to look at me, clearly feeling my gaze on the back of his head.
for the last ten minutes of class the teacher let everyone do whatever they pleased so she could "get some rest before next class" which would have made a perfect opportunity to ask simon for the notes.
apparently it was clear that i didn't pay attention as simon handed the notes back to me along with my earbuds.
class ended before i could get any sort of conversation in and we parted ways. simon let me keep the notes for now, seeing as i still hadn't copied them all down.
the rest of the day dragged by as i waited restlessly for the day to end so i could retrieve the letter from my locker.
finally the last bell rang and i ran out of my class and into the hall. i put in my locker combination, struggling to keep my fingers from twitching from the anticipation. there as promised. i grabbed the edge to unfold it when josh jumped up behind me and slapped my shoulders.
"are you ready for the big game!?" [its hard to emphasize shouting when you can't make it in all caps lol]
"yeah josh just gimme a sec to read this-" josh snatched the letter out of my hand and shoved it into my bag.
"nope dude it can wait, we have a game to prepare for. the love letter can wait.
i wanted to protest but i knew how important this game was so i left the letter be and went to the locker rooms.
[ooh football game stuff wow]
