"And Emric the Evil fell to his death after failing to return." Professor
Binns droned on in his boring monotone. Angelina glanced around the room,
most of the students were either sleeping, day dreaming, or passing notes,
no one would notice if she did the same. Taking in an enormous amount of
air, she closed her eyes and slowly opened the note that had fallen on her
desk. After a few seconds, she opened her eyes and glanced at the paper on
her desk, amazed. No lightning had struck her, the Earth hadn't opened up
and swallowed her, no teacher had caught her in the act, in fact, none of
the horrible things she had always imagined, had happened. Angelina stared
at the note in her hands, in all her excitement she had nearly forgotten
about it.
centeriYou are like a fallen angel,
Innocent and pure,
The queen of all the heavens,
Of this I am so sure.
Just like a fallen angel,
You fell into my life,
You help me through my problems,
My joy, tears, and strife.
Just like a fallen angel,
You are so high above,
It's insane for me to wish,
That you would be my love./i/center
Angelina was shocked, was this note really to her? She flipped the paper over, but there it was, clear as day, her name scrawled across in black ink. iWho could have written this?/i Her eyes scanned the room. No one was paying her the least bit of attention. No one's eyes flocked across the room to look at her. There was no way of knowing who had written the note. Alicia saw Angelina's confused face out of the corner of her eye, and turned to face her friend. As Angelina caught her eye, Alicia raised one eyebrow in question, mouthing, "what?" Angelina sighed and folded up the note. Making sure that Binns had his back turned, she tossed the note and watched it land perfectly on Alicia's desk.
"You could've just handed it to me," Alicia muttered, sounding irritated.
"Ahem," Binns cleared his throat, "for those of you who are still with us, Nagul the Nasty conquered Istanbul in 1722."
Rolling her eyes, Alicia opened up the note. Angelina watched as her friend's eyes grew wide and her mouth dropped open in surprise. She bent over, dipped her quill in ink, and quickly scribbled a message on a new sheet of parchment. She deftly folded the paper and handed it back to Angelina. After reading it, Angelina quickly jotted down a reply. This went on for awhile, writing and passing the note, until they had filled the whole sheet. Angelina opened the note again, and smiled at their neatly printed conversation.
iOMG! Who wrote that?
I don't know, I heard something hit my desk, and there it was.
You mean you don't have the slightest clue?
Not at all.
I bet it's Fred!
Haha, I wish.
No, really! I know how to figure it out! Write the person back!
And leave the note, where?
Um.I don't know.Oh I know! I could confront Fred!
What?!?
Yeah, just casually say, "Oh hey Fred, written any poems lately?"
You wouldn't dare!
Wanna bet?/i
Angelina looked over at Alicia's grinning visage, and couldn't help smiling herself. The bell rang and Angelina gathered her stuff, hurrying to join the crowd as they attempted to make enough noise to drown out the sound of Professor Binns giving them homework.
Alicia sidled up to her. "Hey, there's your secret admirer now, want me to ask him?"
"Alicia!" Angelina squealed.
"Oh Fre-ed! Wait up!" Alicia called down the hall. Angelina stared in horror as her best friend ran down the hall after Fred. iShe wouldn't dare! Or would she?/i "Alicia! Wait!" Angelina fled down the hall, praying that she would not be too late.
