Serenade's first week went by fast and she had a pretty good time. However, a boy named Ken, also arrived at Sweet Amoris. It would not have been a big deal, but Ken had a huge crush on Serenade and was always in pursuit of her. Even if Serenade always told him no politely, he still chased after her. It also shocked her very much and prayed that they would stay far away from each other during the school day.

Despite that, Serenade spent a great amount of time with Nathaniel that whole week. It was so much fun to catch up with her best friend; she had missed him so much! And Nathaniel seemed very happy as well to have gotten caught up with Serenade after all these years. But Serenade had nearly forgotten about his younger sister, Amber until she saw Amber roaming the halls of the school as apparently one of the most popular girls.

Amber was okay when they were younger, but she was spoiled by her parents a lot. Serenade also remembered when she would watch Nathaniel pull pranks on his sister that would get him in trouble with their parents. And Serenade had never thought badly of Amber until they met again.

Serenade was just walking to her literature class when she saw Amber walking with her clique. But before Serenade could even greet her, Amber took one look at her, scrunched up her nose as if she had just walked by a dumpster, and then gave a sarcastic laugh that made her friends who joined her.

"Who got that outfit for you?" Amber sneered at Serenade. "At least there are some people in this school with a great fashion sense like moi!"

With that comment said Amber gave another sarcastic laugh and pranced away, looking as if she owned the school herself. After school, Serenade mentioned the incident to Nathaniel and rolled his eyes at the end of Serenade's encounter.

"She has gotten a little conceited over time," he sighed. "Especially because our parents have always spoiled her and given her everything she wants."

"Well, it kinda hurt," Serenade said as she gently played with her hair. "You know I have always been self-conscious about my looks… I think she might use it against me…"

She looked away, but looked back up at Nathaniel when she felt his hands gently grab her shoulders. He had a reassuring smile on his face and his golden eyes twinkled as if they too smiled at Serenade.

"It'll be okay. Trust me."

Serenade had always trusted Nathaniel. And she knew in her heart that she would always trust Nathaniel's words. So she smiled and thanked him for his reassurance.

The following week had a number of surprises for Serenade even if it was Monday. After getting more settled in and spending more time with Nathaniel, Serenade made her way to her locker that morning and found a note in blue-green paper, taped to her locker and her name was written in a beautiful cursive handwriting she didn't recognize.

However, as she saw the note, Serenade sighed and said aloud, "Of course. Ken"

"Hi S-Serenade!" an excited voice said.

She turned to find Ken by her side. His round glasses almost fogged up with excitement of just being next to his "one true love". Ken was a little shorter than she was, and he had freckles around his cheeks, and had a mushroom haircut that made him look younger than he was supposed to be.

"Hey Ken," Serenade replied still sweetly. Any other girl would have blown up and yelled at him right then and there. "I found one of your notes to me again. And no I haven't read it yet."

To her surprise, Ken looked puzzled even if he was still looking eager.

"I haven't written a note for you yet!" Ken said. "I just came to say hi, and ask you if you know Amber."

Serenade frowned. "Yes I do. Why?"

Still smiling, Ken answered, "Well she and her friends found a way to get my money from me and now I don't have lunch money."

The black haired girl opened her locker a little too strongly to the point of almost hitting Ken.

"So she's a bully now?" she asked herself. "What a change in a person…"

She turned to him and asked if he needed help with lunch money but he denied it and thanked her so many times and also seemed quite flattered about it.

"Well, anyways," Ken said dreamily as though he were walking on cloud nine. "Who's that note from?"

Serenade shrugged. "I have no idea. I assumed it was yours, but this isn't your handwriting."

"Yeah I write very messy!" Ken laughed nervously. He looked quite crestfallen as he took a look at the note for Serenade. "Are you going to read it?"

Thankfully, the bell rang and Serenade excused herself to go to her first class. She pretty much waited the whole time to read the note, otherwise, the teacher would have taken the note away. So as soon as the next bell rang, Serenade made her way to the restroom and eagerly got the note out and read:

Life without you was fine, was okay

It was spent aimlessly getting through each new day

Now that you're here, joy and pleasure I see

Each second and minute filled with sweet ecstasy.

The poem was beautiful. And it was written in the same cursive as on the one in front where it said her name. Forgetting about the world around her, Serenade began to think who in the world would send her this poem if she had only just been here for a week.

"Oh look at the new girl," a snobby voice said.

Serenade turned and saw Amber and her two friends coming in the restroom and she quickly hid her note the best she possibly could.

"I wouldn't like to be the new girl," Amber emphasized as she walked to the mirror to look at herself. "I wouldn't be as popular and pretty as I am now!"

"Shut up Amber," Serenade said rolling her eyes.

The blonde girl with big curls immediately turned in the direction of Serenade and glared at her.

"Nobody tells me to shut up," Amber said angrily.

"Oh I'm sorry," Serenade said as sweetly as she possibly could. "Well, I'm not Nobody in case you didn't know. I'm Serenade, last time I checked. So I believe I have the right to tell you! So, I'll say it again… Shut up Amber!"

Amber gave a pout and an angrier glare. She then looked at her posse, and they began to leave.

"Oh," Amber said stopping behind Serenade. She turned and still glaring at Serenade, she added, "And stay away from my brother! I don't want him to lower his standards you know. What with you coming back and all that, he's been way up in the clouds and he needs to focus on his student body president career."

"He's my friend," Serenade said coolly. "Nathaniel has a right to talk to me and befriend me. And what do you mean by 'lower his standards'?"

"She doesn't know yet!" her friend Lee giggled evilly.

Serenade said nothing and looked quite confused.

"You're right!" Amber said triumphantly. "This girl is completely clueless!"

Then Amber and her two friends left a confused Serenade in the restroom as they went away laughing. Still quite puzzled, Serenade left to find Nathaniel and see what he thought or if he knew anything. She still had ten minutes before the bell rang so she left to go find Nathaniel in the student council room.

"Hey Serenade!" he said brightly as she came into the door. "What's that note you got?" He seemed to be eying the note in her hands excitedly and looked as eager as he had just been offered the entire season of the CSI New York series he loved very much.

"It's this note!" she exclaimed. "I found it on my locker this morning."

"And what do you think about it?" Nathaniel said getting closer to Serenade.

"I don't know who wrote it to me," she replied shaking her head making Nathaniel's face fall. "I don't even recognize the handwriting!"

"You don't…recognize it…?" her friend asked in what sounded like shock.

The girl before him shook her head. "No and look! Read what it says!"

Almost immediately, Nathaniel gave back the letter and was still smiling. "That's very good poem, and it's written by a great poet named Joanna Fuchs."

Serenade nodded impatiently as she frowned. "Yes but I need to figure out who gave it to me… It might be a secret admirer!"

Nathaniel looked very amused and said, "Well, try to not to over think things. If it is a secret admirer, then just narrow down your choices as best as you can. It might be from someone you least expect it from!"

The blond boy then excused himself to the front office and left a very confused but determined Serenade in the room. She was going to try her best to figure out who had written her the letter and who was her secret admirer.
