Secret Admirer

4) Who is She

|Cole|

I woke up with the sound of my annoying alarm clock ringing in my ear. I groan before slamming my hand down on it shutting it off. 

My eyes finally opened as I groaned again before sitting up in my bed.

I climbed out of bed and walked to my bathroom to take a shower. After my shower, I changed into some dark-washed jeans and a white shirt. 

As I grab my phone the date flashes on the screen reminding me that today was the day.

The love letter. 

She somehow gets into my locker before I got there to deliver a love letter addressed to me and only me. I run downstairs to the kitchen where I'm going to make scrambled eggs with toast and orange juice for my mom since my dad had to go to work early at the hospital.

A couple of months ago my mom had lost her job of three years. 

She was sad for weeks but my dad and I helped her through it and she has gotten a new job at a local dentist's office that pays very well. Finally, I set the tray up with her food and carried it up the stairs to her room. 

I knew she wouldn't be getting up for a little while so I placed the tray on her nightstand next to her bed before leaving I kissed her forehead and whispered I love you. 

Walking out of the house to get in my Mercedes Benz that I got on sale for a good price. 

On my way to school, all I can think about was the damn letter it made me excited every month. I parked right next to my gorgeous girlfriend Allison as I got out of my car my lips are immediately on hers which I was not expecting. 

"Hi baby," she says pulling away. I smile as I take in her outfit she wears a perfect skin-tight pink dress. 

"Hi, Ally," I answer her smiling.

"Let's go, sweetheart," I say taking her little hand into mine, she laughs at my nickname for her.

Our hands intertwined as we walked into school together people turned their heads to just look at us, probably wondering if we were back together again, which we are. Ally and I have always had a little bit of a complicated relationship, we get into a fight and break up, and then like a day later we make up and get back together. The longest we were apart was three months, last year.

We made it to my locker and I knew exactly what was in my locker at the moment waiting patiently to be read. 

"Sweetie how about you go catch up with your friends since you didn't get to see them this weekend also you look so hot in that dress," I whispered into her ear.

She giggled shaking her pretty head at my compliment before she walked away.

I turned back around facing my locker preparing myself. I opened my locker slowly hoping the letter didn't fall that fast, but I still caught it. Admiring it's exterior that has little drawings on it.

Different from the other ones.

I took a big breath before ripping into the letter because frankly, I was nervous like always but I still read every last word on the piece of paper. 

"And that's why I'm in love with you"

Her words rang in my head over and over again wow she can write. I carefully put the letter in my other hand with my books before my eyes quickly move to the halls looking for my secret lover but our eyes never meet.

Who is she and what does she look like, have we ever talked before?

I saw Ally at the end of the hall waiting for me to walk her to her first class, I started walking towards her before someone bumped into me.

Her dark brown was in her face at first but then she moves it out of the way letting her sky-blue eyes meet mine. 

"I'm terribly sorry," she says politely to me.

Confusion hits me with her proper apology before I laugh at it because it was cute, to be honest.  

"Don't worry about it," I say before leaning down to pick up my book as well.

I grabbed her book for her before realizing my letter was in her little hands. Her eyes met mine again before they traveled down to my hands that were holding her book. 

She laughs softly at me.

"I believe this belongs to you," she says to me smiling.

Oh god, she's going to think I'm girly because of what the letter has on the outside of it. 

"Um yes, it does," I say grabbing the love letter out of her hands and giving the book back to her.

"It must be important," she says at my actions.

I laugh "Oh you have no idea,"

After School

It's after school now and I'm finally on my way home from football practice. 

I walk into my house all sweaty in need of a shower very soon. 

"Honey you're home how was school today," my mom asked me as I walked through the door. 

"It was good mom, I'm going to take a shower now before dinner," I answer her.

"Okay sweetie," she says kissing my sweaty cheek.

"Mom I'm all sweaty," I groan.

"I know, go take a shower you stink," my mom says holding her nose in disgust.

I ran up the stairs into the bathroom hopping in the shower. Washing off all the sweat from practice off of my body I got out of the shower. I changed into some grey sweatpants and a navy blue T-shirt. I sat on the bed and let all the past letters out.

Looking at all the past two years of letters nothing has changed so it is just one girl. I want to know who she is. The letters are harmless at the end of the day, but the what-ifs still fill my head.

"HONEY DINNER," my mom yells.

"COMING," I yell back.

And you know what I'm going to find out.
