It all started with a flower.
It was a blue rose, which, in Emma's eyes, stood for everlasting love. Someone out there loved her and they were going to play games until Emma figured out who it was. That's what the note said, anyways.
"Emma, are you okay?" Olivia Vertigo asked her the next day, after Emma had received the rose.
Emma nodded. Her mind was a thousand miles away. She was stumped when it came to her secret admirer. She couldn't think of anyone who would have a crush on her. She didn't think of herself as pretty, or attractive. It was probably just a joke, since there were a ton of girls walking around the school who were prettier than her.
"Are you sure, because I bet you don't know a single word I've said?" Olivia crossed her arms. Something was up with Emma, apparently.
"Sorry, Olivia. I'm just tired is all. I didn't get much sleep last night." Emma faked a yawn. Olivia could see through the yawn, but didn't bring it up anymore as her friend walked away, towards class.
"Take care, Em." Olivia muttered. She didn't want Emma getting hurt.
Emma entered her science class and on her desk was a note.
She quickly tore open the envelope and unfolded the paper.
I haven't been able to stop thinking about you. Every time I see you, I can't breathe or speak or anything. I wish I had enough guts to tell you in person my feelings, but I'll tell you by these notes until I have enough confidence.
xoxo, your secret admirer
Emma smiled and she stuffed the note into her bag with the other one. She couldn't believe that she was still getting them. She couldn't believe someone was taking the time to admire her. She wasn't worth it. She was just an ordinary girl. An ordinary girl who wanted nothing more than to know who her secret admirer was.
i know it's short, but it's sweet. most of you probably know who her secret admirer is. if you don't, read on and find out.
