Kira West, I am deeply in love with you. Your lustrous hair and twinkling eyes have captured me since I first laid my eyes on your smokin' body. Your dazzling smile is incomparable to any mortal object, and your laugh reminds me of soft bells ringing in the distance. This may seem a bit soon to ask you this, but will you do me the honor of slapping me with a loaf of bread? I understand that it may be too soon in the relationship to do such an intimate act, but I feel as if I know you, that I understand you. If you wish, you may leave me a response on the space below, and leave it under your desk after your first period. Much love, Archer P.S. I'll still love you even if you decline me of this wonderful offer. - highest ranking: #23 in short story featured on every list for short story third place in the winners awards
