After class Reyna walked over to her locker to grab her packed lunch but instead when she opened the blue metal door, a note fell out. Her form crouched down to pick up the note and thought it was from her mess of papers in her hot mess of a locker,but when she unfolded the letter, her eyes raked over the messy handwritten paper to realized that it was a love note. How does she know?. Well, maybe it's because the initials at the top has a heart drawn next to it.
Now, it could be from her one of her friends but they are not that dramatic.
She finally decided to read the letter and it says:
Whenever I look at you,I forget all I was going to say ,I get nervous and shaky when I'm sitting close to you,I think about you more than any human should,I will always try not to stare at the true beauty that is you , even though I will never be placed in your heart,but you will always be in mine.
Sincerely,
Your secret lover.
She was shocked to say the least because her, Reyna Ramirez, vice president of Goode High School has a secret lover ( or crush as some people would classify). Reyna was always known as the most heartless person at school mainly because she never took part of dances, prom's, sport events and all that teenager jazz. Students sometimes beg her to come but no matter how special occasion is, that's a 'nae nae' for her.
Except if it is a award ceremony that involves her.
Since middle school people began calling her names, -some were offensive but a few were tolerable- She would be lying if she told anybody that she wasn't bothered by it but as the years pass, people started to adapt with her. The bullies were there, just not so often. Reyna built walls around her. She believes that if she just push everybody away, then no human being would take notice of her.
But Reyna is a very intelligent student, no matter how hard she tries people seem to get intrigued by her. So,that's how she ended up taking the position of vice president alongside a blonde idiot also known as, Jason Grace.
Her thoughts were interrupted by footsteps approaching. She quickly placed the note in her book that she was currently holding,her head turn to look up to saw her closest friend, Annabeth making her way towards me.
Like she mentioned earlier, she does have friends but not many could get through her steady walls. Besides, do you really need friends when you are not exactly a people person. Meaning, don't make effort to advance towards her when she is in a bad mood or you will likely loose a body part.
So,her closest best friend in the world is none other than Miss Annabeth Chase. The first thought that would come to your mind when seeing Annabeth, she is the complete opposite of Reyna. Firstly, Annabeth lives up to her appearance, she is bright and perky just like the color of her honey blonde hair. Secondly, Annabeth is a cheerleader -the girl has never missed a single pep rally or sports game. How they could deal with each other is a miracle.
"Hey why are you just standing there,it's free period and we agreed to do homework together right?",Annabeth reminded her.
"Huh,oh yeah sorry I was just thinking about something let me just get my book",She responded while reopening her locker
"Wow what a shocker! when is Reyna not thinking about well basically anything".Annabeth teased with a thick amount of sarcasm.
"Watch it,Chase" She reprimanded which the blonde replied with a amused chuckle.
"Ugh,like you would do anything to hurt me."
"You should really reconsider that thought."
Annabeth rolled her grey orbs."C'mon you are taking forever." Annabeth forcefully tug on her sleeve.

They decided to study at their usual spot which is at the school garden. They sat at their usual spot- under a really shady tree that faces the school fountain which is in the center of the garden. They adore this spot because it is very peaceful with the sounds of water coming from the fountain and the pounding sound of balls slapping against the flooring of an outdoor basketball court.
While Reyna was doing her homework she felt like someone was watching her,when she looked back she saw the face of Jason Grace staring at her from the basketball court. When he noticed her looking at him,he quickly looked away and resumed bouncing the ball but Reyna noticed the faint redness on his cheeks that quickly faded and he straightened up to continue his game with his fellow friends.
Reyna was snapped out of her trance when she noticed someone calling her name,she looked up and saw Annabeth asking if she was ready to go home and she nodded and they packed up their things and walked home together.
That night Reyna was reading a book but her attention was nowhere near the book but instead it was at the note that she received. There were million of thoughts were going on in her mind right now such as 'is this a prank?', 'is someone playing a game with her?', but the question that she pondered about mostly. 'Who would sent her this?'.

Reyna sighed and went to her locker and her guess was right when a note flew out,she picked it up and decided to read it later because she has to focus on her other classes on the only thing that bring her mood up at the moment is because the bell rung meaning it was lunch time and she was excited because it was taco ,she ran to the cafeteria,sat down with her friends and chatted happily while munching on the delicious was laughing with her friends at something Thalia said, she totally forgot about her problems and oblivious at a certain blond boy who staring at her.
When Reyna was finished doing homework at night,she felt like there was something she has to do but couldn't pin point what it is. She was packing her homework when something fell out of her folder and she remembered the note that she was supposed to felt really excited and giddy when she opened it and saw the same messy handwriting and this time it was a short poem.
roses are red,
violets are blue,
I will never love someone the way I love you,
sugar is sweet,
and so are you,
don't forget,
my heart will always be with you.
Sincere from,
your secret lover.
My grin was so big that I think that if it get any bigger my face will eventually explode. Excitement and eager to know who is this anonymous poem from and it was the sweetest thing that I ever got in... well forever actually since romance isn't really my thing because I think it is kinda a distraction but after reading this poem I change my mind and thought that maybe it was worth it to put some of my attention to my love life and I'm freaking 17 it's kinda time for me to finally to get a boyfriend.
So,the whole night was spent in a haze for Reyna because she was constantly thinking about who could the anonymous be and why does he fancy Reyna. Guys look at her, they will just think of her as a heartless person and sure,she had a lot of close friends who are guys but all of them are like brothers to her not a crush.
Totally platonic.

The next morning Reyna woke up really peacefully and didn't hit her alarm clock for waking her,she decided to dress up a little bit because who knows maybe the anonymous would show himself. Her feet dragged over to her closet and picked out a cute outfit but still screams Reyna because she isn't the kind of person to be fashionable all the time.
She got dressed in a white cropped top with a maroon skater skirt and some light pink vans because she is kind of a tomboy. She finished the look as she put her hair up in a neat high ponytail and put on some blush on her cheekbones.
When she arrived at school people were looking at her with confusion etched to their faces. Guys (pigs) winked at her but she rolled her eyes and thought don't they have something better to do.
She was at her locker when suddenly it was slammed at her face. She looked behind her, glared at Thalia and Annabeth who had cheeky smiles.
"What do you guys want?",I asked in a very annoyed tone.
"Do you like someone",they asked in unison that surprised me that they aren't twins.
"NO!",I responded quickly
"Are you sure?",Thalia asked while raising her eyebrows.
"You know,sometimes when a girl dress up it means she is trying to impress someone",Annabeth said with a knowing look and a smug smirk.
"Um,OH! look at the time I have to get to class don't wanna be late",I said trying to walk away but an arm blocked me.
"AHA!",Annabeth and Thalia screamed at the same time and Thalia said,"You are trying to change the topic because you're trying to hide something"
"So,tell us because we ain't backing up before we get some answers from you"Annabeth demanded from me.
I let out a frustrated sigh,"You people are so ruthless. Your on luck to be my friends or I would have socked you the first time you let a word out.",I gave them my best glare but surrendered and told them the whole story about the note,the new look and I even showed the letter for proof.
After they finished reading the letter,they looked up with a knowing look and a smug smile that makes me want to slap them both.
"Aha so we were right the whole time." They screamed in unison and continued to bombard me with questions
"You have a secret lover?"
"Who do you think it is?"
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"This is so cool"
"Do you like this guy?"
"Do you want to date him-"
I stopped them by closing their mouths with my hand and giving them a menacing glare that clearly said shut up or I will gut you,that made them shut up almost instantly.
"Okay,guys calm down because one,I don't even know who this guy is, two, I didn't tell you because I got it yesterday"
"But,the question is if you know who it is would you date him?"Thalia asked slyly.
When I kept quiet,"You would!"Annabeth exclaimed happily.
"Whatever"I said very annoyed before walked away.
"Aawww that's so cutee..",they said together,
"SHUT UP",I said without turning back as I was walking I heard chuckling from behind me and I know it was those two,even though they are my best friends but I still would like to gut them sometimes.
0~0~0~0~0
When I was walking home from school alone, because Annabeth had a date with Percy I thought about Annabeth's love life, I was kind of jealous because she has such a very sweet and funny boyfriend and not to mention that she is dating the boy who is every girl's dream to date and every guy's dream to be.
My thoughts were interrupted by someone calling my name and footsteps.I looked behind me and saw my good friend Jason Grace.
"Hey",he greeted me while slightly panting.
"Why are you panting?"I asked him as he walked beside me
"Wow miss you too",he chuckled and continued,"I was panting because you walk fast",he finished in a very childish tone that made me roll my eyes.
"Not my fault that you have a fat body and no stamina."
"Hey,you just offended me Rey,"he said with fake hurt- putting his hand over his chest.
I rolled my eyes and said,"Whatever you big whiny baby."
Jason suddenly stopped walking to stood in front of me and held my shoulders with a worried and curious face,"what's bothering you?"
"nothing"
"tell me"
"you wouldn't care"
"try me"
"no"
"pleeaasse.."he begged with a pout and those puppy dog eyes that nobody can resist
I sighed,"there is a...guy",he raised his eyebrows"and...ugh it's complicated"
"What's his name?",he asked
"I don't know",I stated bluntly
he chuckled,"how can you not know "
I groaned ,"that's the complicated part..look a guy has been sending me letter's in my locker-and I don't even know his name and he called himself my secret lover"I said and made air quotes on 'my secret lover'
We kept walking but Jason was really quiet and had scrunched his eyebrows with a thoughtful face which means that he is in deep thinking and trying not to voice his thoughts.
When we arrived in front of my house he still kept quiet and when I bid him goodbye,he just nodded and kept walking without saying a single freaking word. I was kind of hurt because Jason was never distant with me and suddenly he is giving me a cold shoulder. I sighed and walked into the house to eat junk food while watching a bunch of movies on Netflix,just thinking about it made me smile and almost drooling.
Once inside, I raced into my room and changed into some black sweatpants and a grey tank top.I went into the kitchen to make popcorn and grab soda's and chips.I went into the living room,get cozy with the fuzy blanket on the couch while watching lots of movies.
I woke with drool at the side of my face that I quickly wiped and realized that I fell asleep in the middle of my third movie.I checked the time and saw it was 2 in the morning,typical friday. The reason why I woke up in the middle of the night was because there was something knocking the window.
"Why would someone knock on the window when there is a door and it's 2 freaking in the morning",I said grumpily while walking over to the window and opened it to see there was nobody there but a note was place at the wall beside the window.I took it and read it.
If you wanna know who I am,then come meet me at the park tomorrow at 8pm.
I promise you this is not a joke.
-your secret lover
I didn't realize that I was staring at the note for so long with my eyebrows I was really startled when someone clear their throat behind me.I looked behind me and saw my mom standing there with a very stern face while her hands are on her hips.
"Reyna,what are you doing with the window open,it's very cold outside so close it!",she demanded
"and,don't forget to clean the messed up popcorn on the couch before you go to bed."she reminded me while walking back to her room and shutting the door behind her.I tucked the note in my sweatpants pocket and walked over to the couch to clean up and went to my room.I fell asleep almost instantly when my head hit the pillow.

I am so excited and nervous at the same time because it was 7 pm which means I have an hour before I have to meet my lover at the park.I am in my closet searching for a cute but modest outfit because 1)I am meeting my lover I have to look acceptable and 2)the New York air at night is cold so I cannot freeze while meeting my lover.
I finally came out from the closet wearing a black sundress paired up with a denim jacket. Last but not least, she wore black brogue lace ups to complete the outfit. I curled my hair so that it was in waves instead straight. I looked into the mirror and decided that the outfit and hair is presentable ,I walked out and went to the park.
When I arrived at the park,I saw there was a note at one of the trees and it said,
sit down on the bench
-your secret lover
I did as was told and was waiting when suddenly someone appeared behind me and hand me a rose over my shoulder,I gasped when I saw it and took the rose as the person walked and kneel in front of me.I couldn't see his face because he was wearing a hat that covered half of his face.I was very confused until I saw the scar on his upper lip that he got when he was 6 for trying to eat a stapler.
"Jason..."I whispered while taking off his hat and saw him smiling sweetly at me.
"So,now you know who I am",he said.
"why?",I asked while still in shock.
"Because,Reyna I really like-well more like love you ,but I was scared to tell you because I thought that you will not like me back and I didn't want things to be awkward between us when we are already really good friends and I know that you treat most of the guys like brothers but if you don't like me back-"
I cut him off by bringing his head down and crashing my lips to his. For a second, our lips just froze against each other until the wave of shock had subsided as he responded the kiss eagerly while snaking his arms around my waist- pulling her closer to him. After a few minutes of kissing he pulled back and whispered against my lips,"so,is that a yes?".
I let go of him and stood up. He got the message and sat down while pulling me down on his lap so I'm straddling him. I place my arms around his neck while his arms were tightly wrapped around my hips. The distance between us were so close that our noses and foreheads were touching,"You know Jason I love you too".He smiled and mold our lips together with lots of passion.
He pushed his tongue into my mouth causing a whimper to erupt from the back of my throat. He groaned when she massaged her fingers in his hair.
We could have continued to kiss the whole night if it weren't for the sudden gust of cold wind blew over them. They broke apart, panting and shivering slightly. His thumb rubbing circles on my thighs while he was looking at me- not bothering to hide his wide grin.
"It's getting a bit cold don't you think?." She whispered as if they are sharing a secret.
"Yeah I guess so."
"Do you wanna go somewhere else?."
"How about we head over to my place and have some quality time together." He suggested with mischief clear in his sky blue eyes.
So,the night was spent at Jason's room watching movies and lots of making out. I woke up in the morning with strong arms around me and someone kissing my neck. I turned around and we shared love struck smiles.
How on earth did her best friend turn into her boyfriend in a blink of an eye.
She just shook the thought away before snuggling into the arms of her boyfriend.
A bit cliche , but I really hope you enjoy it nonetheless.
