As William and Yumi sat together at the lunch table, Ulrich sat at the table next to them, getting a good view of the two of them. A letter sat on the table closed with Ulrich's name on it. he didn't know who its from, seeing as it has no name in or outisde of the letter.
FLASHBACK
"Hey Ulrich, there's a letter with your name on it." said Odd. He was Ulrichs roommate.
He saw the letter unopened on his bed, but didn't read it. He wanted to head to lunch so he could get his daily glimpse of Yumi before he started class again.
END OF FLASHBACK
As the letter sat untouched, his mind raced. "Who could have written this letter? What does it say inside of it? Why would anyone send anything to me? I mean, mom and dad don't love me enough to write to me. So who could have written it?"
As he tore the small heart shaped sticker off the opening of the envelope, his hand shook a little. Taking out the letter he recieved was like picking up a mine. Finally, he got it out and opened it.
Dear Ulrich,
Your brown hair caught my eye after a while of boring dark haired people. Your smile brightened up a room when I saw you. The laughter you made sounded like music. When you say my name sometimes I melt like a popsicle on a hot day. Your french words carry me away to a land I never knew. Your english words could use some work though. :) Keep up the good work in class and maybe I'll reveal my name to you.
Signed,
A Secret Admirer
Ulrich was shocked. He actually had a secret admirer. But he didn't know who it could be. But this idea of writing a letter of love to Yumi gave him a little confidence to get her attention.
MEANWHILE...
"I don't care, William. I don't wanna go see that movie. I told you already its a stupid idea to waste a whole hour and thirty minutes of screentime. Its useless to buy those tickets." Yumi was angry. She didn't want to go see the movie William bought tickets for. She would rather stay home and read comics.
"But they're non-refundable. Who am I supposed to take?" He said.
"Take Sissi I don't care. Just don't take me to see movies. You know I don't like them very well." Yumi said. And so, William called Sissi and asked if she'd like to go see a movie. She accepted because she'd rather go see a movie with him than be at home with her father. He was always trying to do the wrong things for her.
Yumi sat on her bed reading a comic when she heard the doorbell. Opening the door there was no one there. Only a letter with her name written on it. "Who could have written this? Why would they send me a letter? What if its a prank?" She thought taking the letter up to her room. Opening the letter, she read:
Dear Yumi,
The words you say to me have such an effect on me its ridiculous. My body feels like jello when you talk to me. When you're with William it makes me jealous. So jealous I would take him down if he hurt you. The way you put your hair behind your ears and smile, your cheeks as rosy red as ever, the way you giggle makes my heart melt. The first time I laid eyes on you, it felt like the rest of the world floated away. My heart beats a mile a second when you speak Japanese. It drives me insane to see your eyes light up when you hear your favorite comic book makes a new issue. Sometimes I want to go out and buy it for you. But I'm too nervous to talk to you. One of these days I will tell you my name but I want to hear you make a statement to our english class about yourself. Something no one knows about you. :) I can't wait to hear it.
Signed,
A Secret Admirer
Yumi blushed as she folded the letter up and stuck it in a drawer. She had never felt this nervous in her life. Someone actually likes her for the way she is. The only question is who is this person? The sound of her cellphone startled her to reality. It was William sending her a text message.
Yumi, were over.
As she stared at her phone unable to move or speak, tears fell onto the screen. Whimpers escaped her mouth as she fell into a sleep so depressing, even witches would not want to be near her. The night ended with a breakup and a hookup.
The next day, Yumi woke up with bags under her eyes. Fixing her hair, changing clothes, and grabbing her bag as she ran out of the house to school, all she could think about was the letter and the breakup. It reminded her to write the guy she likes a letter again.
Ulrich had been in a daze for a few hours. he kept thinking about how Yumi would feel after reading his letter. He suddenly noticed William with Sissi instead of Yumi. She sat alone at lunch this time, with him at the other table, again getting a good view of her.
As the both of them stare off in space, they think "who could you be, my secret admirer?"
