For the next week, Charlie continued to receive the same pink love notes. He was so proud that out of every boy in the school, he was getting them. 'Unfortunately, I bet it is just Patty or Marcie,' he thought sadly. He walked to up to Linus during lunch. "Linus are you still upset about Sally," Charlie asked. For once in his life, Linus was more pathetic then he was. "Charlie, what if Sally hates me? Tell me, how does she feel about me," Linus was practically begging. "I don't know, how would I?" Charlie stuttered. He couldn't be disloyal to his sister. But, he might be helping her if he did tell Linus that she loved him. "You must know Charlie Brown! You're her brother!" Linus was yelling now. Charlie gave up. This was his best friend after all. "Fine, I'll tell you! My sister is in love with you, so will you just ask her out?" Charlie asked and walked away. 'I'm not in the mood for this,' Charlie thought.

At the end of the day, he was getting a drink from the drinking fountain close to his locker. As he finished he noticed someone come up to him. He turned around to see Patty. "Oh, hi Patty," he said. She took a step forward and was shaking. 'What's up with her?' Charlie thought. "Charlie, I have to confess something," Charlie took a step back and sighed. He knew this would happen eventually. Suddenly he heard someone walking over by his locker. He looked to see Frieda over by the lockers. His heart stopped. "Charlie, I really like you. In fact, you could say that I, well, I, love you!" Patty stuttered and looked up at Charlie. He heard her all right, but he was looking at Frieda. Frieda had just put a pink letter into Charlie's locker.
