"Tallie, can I talk to you?" a classmate of Tallie, named Melissa, approached her. "Yeah, sure. What's up?" Tallie was glad somebody actually came to talk to her. She didn't have too many friends since she got to high school because she was shy around strangers. "Can.can you give this to." Melissa smiled shyly, handing Tallie an envelope with a pretty design. "What is this?" "Can you give this to Skyler, please?" "Whaaatttttt?!?!" Tallie almost had a heart attack when she heard Melissa. Someone actually likes that idiot?!?! "I hope it's not too much trouble. I mean, even though people say you guys are going together, we all know he don't like you and you don't like him. So I asked him to be my date at the dance this weekend." "But.why don't you just give it to him yourself?" "I can't.my head just spins when I see him. Don't you see his smile? It's the cutest I've ever seen! He's so adorable and I just can't stop but to-" "Okay!!!" Tallie cut Melissa off in the middle. She was getting sick! Adorable?! Cute?! Skyler Dane?! "Fine, I'll give it to him," promised Tallie.
Tallie tried to locate Sky during recess. The idea of seeing him didn't amuse her at all, but maybe it'd be a good way to make Melissa her friend. But where was he? Whenever she didn't want him, he always came to bug her. Now it was the opposite. She needed to see him immediately since the recess was going to be over soon but she couldn't find him. At that moment, she discovered Tommy, one of the other wrestlers. She was introduced to him only once by John. She really needed to hurry back to her class. She had no choice but to hand him the letter. "Um, excuse me. Are you Thomas?" Tommy turned around, a bit surprised. "Uh--- hi. Tallie Anderson, right?" "Ah, yeah. We've met before once." "Yes. What can I do for you, Tal?" Tommy was very kind and helpful. Tallie felt a bit of relief. "I really need to see Sky, but I can't seem to find him. I must go back to my class, so can you do me a favor and give this to him when you see him?" Tallie handed him the letter. "Oh.kay.sure." Tommy hesitated for a second and accepted the letter. "Thank you very much." Tallie said and ran back to her class. Tommy chuckled to himself. A love letter, eh?
"Hey, Sky!!" Tommy waved his hand at Sky as he walked in to the classroom. "Yeah, what's up?" replied Sky. "Somebody must be falling in love with you," teased Tommy. "Haha. That's not real funny. What's that thing in your hand?" "Oh, this? Tallie Anderson asked me to give this to you. A love letter! Yay, Sky has a lover now!" Tommy handed Skyler the letter. Sky's eyes grew big, his face full of surprise. "Tallie? Reeeeaaaalllllly?" Sky was very excited now. "Tommy, it best not be a joke." "What, you think I have time to play wit stuff like this? No way. It was really Tallie," assured Tommy. The teacher came in. Tommy went back to his seat. Skyler carefully stored the letter in his backpack. He was going to read it later. He couldn't believe it. Tallie wrote him a letter!!
Skyler opened the envelope and took out the letter an unfolded it. His heart was pounding hard. He silently began reading. It was a poem, a parodied sonnet of Shakespeare.
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art so fine and delicate, Thy smile melts my heart away. ----------shortened------------- *I'll be looking forward to meet you by the pine tree at the south gate after school today if you agree to be my date at the dance this weekend.
Sky couldn't help but smile. It was so cute!! One thing he didn't understand was that her handwriting was different than the one she normally used. But that did not matter. Sky couldn't think about anything else but meeting Tallie after school. God, the lecture seemed so long, he could hardly wait!!!
