Previously…
I opened my gym locker and changed my mind immediately at what I saw.
BPOV
Inside the locker was a beautiful rose, which was not so much of a shock considering the admirers I had today. What surprised me was the note. I quickly got dressed and stuffed the note into the pocket of my jeans. When I got into the car I put the rose on the dashboard and reread the note. It was typed, and was not signed, so I didn't know who it was from.
"Bella," it started.
I am not a secret admirer; or at least I don't think I am. Secret? Yes. But Admirer? I am not quite sure about that. But twice a day –along with a gift— I will give you a hint about who I am. This will go on until Friday, meaning I will give you ten clues. I will never tell you who I am though. You seem intelligent and observant; I'll let you make your own guesses about who it might be. This may seem like a silly thing to do. Just think of it like a game, something to lighten your mood. You obviously hate Valentine's Day. It's all just for fun, so don't think too much of it. Just go along with it. Your first hint is: I am in at least one of your classes. Maybe that isn't very specific. It will get more detailed as the week goes on, though. Your other clue today will be found at home. Don't go looking for it; it will find you. And one more thing—don't think I am some crazy stalker or anything close to that. I believe the majority of the town –let alone the school– knows where you live.

The only thing I could do was stare in shock. I drove home slowly and pondered who it could be. He seemed to be polite in smart. That ruled out my three suitors. I pulled into the driveway and walked through the door feeling dazed.
After about an hour I heard the doorbell ring. It had to be the person giving me these notes. I dashed down the stairs –somehow managing not to fall– and hoped to catch him. But when I opened the door, there was no car. I stepped further outside. There was no proof, no evidence anyone was there. But then I looked at my doorstep. There was a blank envelope and a box of chocolates there. I quickly tore open the envelope.
Bella,
I know, a box of chocolates isn't very original. Like I said before though, just go along with the game. Here is the second clue: On Friday, I won't come up to you and give you anything, or tell you "Happy Valentine's Day". That will rule out quite a few people. Obviously, you can't know who it is now. Don't even try to guess; at least not until Friday. It will help you out more. Tomorrow's clues are both going to be found at school, so don't worry about someone sneaking into your house or anything. Yet.

I just stood there staring at the note, dumbfounded. There was of course the burning question of who it was, but now I was left even more confused. Where would I get the rest of the gifts/clues? How would the person even know I would look where he put them? Would the hints really get any easier? What if this was all just some sick practical joke? And what the hell did he mean by 'yet'?
I walked into my bedroom and turned on the computer. A part of me really wanted my note writer to be Edward. But my mind kept arguing with myself. I mean, why would HE do it? He hates me. The thought saddened me. I wasn't really sure why, though. Oh. Right. My obsession with him.
But he is articulate and polite, just like the note writer; or at least he seems to be. It would make sense. Except… it really wouldn't. I sighed. I needed to stop myself from hoping, so that when disappointment came it wouldn't hurt as much.
The evening went by uneventfully. I had trouble sleeping though. I felt like I was being watched. But it wasn't in the bad way. It made me feel… safe, as crazy as that sounds.
The next day I was very groggy. When I got to school Mike seemed to be back to normal. He walked me to first period while he considered his options for Friday. I sat down at my desk and started to get my books out of my book bag. That's when I saw it.
What could it be? Sorry the whole note idea seems slightly ridiculous and out of character for our beloved note writer. I tried to work in his POV with the note the best I could, I hope it wasn't too bad. Please review and let me know what you think, the more I get the faster I update!
