Dear Aviva,

I know this sounds stupid about me writing a letter to you. Youre in my classes. I see you every day. But we never directly talk to each other, and if we do, its never like friends. But every time im with you, my heart rate goes up, i get nervous, and a burning feeling strikes up in me. I wish i could tell you how much you mean to me, but youd find that ridiculous because like everyone puts it, im desperate. But its worth the try, so... I know you love science, so ill make it a bit easier to identify my love for you. Look up in our textbook, the page about space, and look at the stars. I love you more than all those stars.

To be honest and truthful, you're beautiful and i would love to give this classmate relationship a nudge. Ive never met a girl as smart as you, as beautiful as you, and i love you. I hope you love me back, because i think im in L-O-V-E. Love. And you know how i love basketball? If you were a basketball, i wouldnt shoot you because id miss you. Please, its not a beg. Im just saying. Please dont think of this as stupid and childish of me writing this love letter to you, but i get nervous when im around you. I hope you love me back, or atleast like me.

Love,

Christopher Kratt

(PS. Im the one who always wears a green jacket, khakis and hiking boots and sits next to you for every class)

Chris looked up at aviva, and waved nervously. She came over to him, and kissed him on the lips for a minute, then smiled. "I love you too chris."
