The next morning

The next morning. I woke up with a start and checked my watch. It's 7:30 in the morning. Back to relaxation time!

An hour later. OMG!!! HAVE TO HURRY!!! I am going to be so late! Yep. Me on Monday was the same me on Thursday. Five minutes later. I was at school. Beep! Didn't take so long - unless if I took the bus, I would actually be very late. If I wanted to be here earlier than 8:40 in the morning, then I would definitely need a rocket or spaceship or flying saucer or maybe even a time machine. Who knows?

Anyway, I was expecting school to be very noisy and there would be party noise everywhere I go. Even in the hallways! But today, everything changed. Everywhere I wandered about was really quiet. Where were all the children? Was today a holiday instead of a school day? I'd be saved if it was. Cause I don't wanna learn. I wanna be a beauty queen now and just chill like no one was around me.

I was about to leave when - OMG! Something was dragging my hand. But who? No other than - "BENJAMIN?!!" I screamed, shocked to see his dreamy eyes stare upon me. "You - you're here?!!"

"Yea. If it was a school day, then why wouldn't I be here?" he replied with the most charming voice. Was I flirting with him? No. I couldn't be flirting with him. I'm in high school. What could possibly go wrong?

After a sudden moment of not speaking, I replied to him with a beautiful and sweet voice, "Never mind. So, today, I was wondering why yesterday, everyone was very loud at school and today, it seems like nobody is at school today. Maybe there is a special occasion happening? Who knows?"

"There's no one here because there is a special occasion happening today," Benjamin said with a smile on his face. 'Well, what's that?" I asked him, gently. "Today is Valentine's Day!" he cheered as he handed me a rose. "And this is for you. Happy Valentine's Day, my love!"

I looked happily at the roses and my eyes sparkled. "OMG! These are so amazing! Thank you, Benjamin!" I screamed as I held the roses in my hands. As I did, I saw a note fall out of the roses. I picked it up and read it:

Dear Zoe,

Your beauty makes me smile everyday - even though it is the first week back at school. I still love you with all my heart. Please, will you be my valentine?

With all your sweet dreams, Benjamin.

With all your sweet dreams, Benjamin
