A/N: Happy February! 1000 hits? THAT deserves an update! :) Thank you to the lovely Geena for this idea! :) And I'm not so slow with updates anymore! YAY ME! :D Enough of my rambling. Enjoy the chapter! :)
It was Valentine's Day. Lindsay's absolute favorite holiday. Even though she was only in 3rd grade, she loved the idea of romance and her Prince Charming sweeping her off her feet. The class had been assigned 'secret valentines' to get presents for each other. Lindsay had an easy one. James.
She had decided on a new mirror. Over the past two years since his dad had been arrested, he had definitely come out of his shell and even gotten a little vain. Last week Kendall was annoyed during their Fat Lard Club meeting when James, yet again pulled out his comb and mirror. When he was done combing his hair, he started another annoying habit of his. Talking to his mirror.
"Carlos," Kendall said and the small Latino jumped into action. He tackled James, knocking the mirror out of his hands which sent it flying across the blacktop. When James went to go retrieve it, it was smashed to pieces. He shrieked.
"You two will pay!" he declared. Hence, the new mirror. She had also written an acrostic poem using his name. J for jazzy, A for awesome, M for mysterious, E for enthusiastic and S for silly. She felt confident in her gift and knew it was sitting on his desk as she walked to class. She skipped ahead excitedly to see what her secret valentine had left on her desk.
When she reached the classroom, Lindsay was happy to find a fluffy panda with big green eyes on her desk, along with a pack of Skittles, her favorite candy and an enveloped note. Curiosity got the best of her and she ripped it open to reveal just a pink note card reading, 'Be my Valentine?'
Lindsay looked around the classroom, wondering who it could be. She sat down and wondered as the rest of the class flooded into the room, chatting excitedly about their secret valentines. The unmasking take place right before lunch.
"Alright kids," said the teacher after they had finished their math lesson. "Today is the reveal of your secret valentines. Who wants to go first?" Several kids raised their hands. The process continued until James raised his hand.
"Lindsay," he said, not missing a beat. Her heart thudded. James was her secret valentine! He was cute and really nice to her.
The process continued until they were allowed to get up and say thank you to their secret valentines.
"Thank you Lindsay," James said when they met in the middle of the classroom. "I really like the mirror. Carlos won't be getting hold of this one!"
"Yes," was all Lindsay said.
"Yes what?"
"Yes I'll be your Valentine," Lindsay said.
"Oh really?" James face lit up. "Cool."
There was an awkward silence between the two.
"So what now?"
The bell rang for lunch to begin.
"I'll race you to the lunch room?"
"You're on!"
From that year forward on Valentine's Day, there was always a small enveloped note card on Lindsay's desk. Every year, she was James Diamond's valentine.
