Hilary's P.O.VThings seem to get more complicated lately. I had a feeling today would be a weird day. It started when I leaned out of our front door very early in the morning to bring in the newspaper and found another envelope addressed to me.
It was lying on the doormat, right next to the paper. (We have a very accurate papergirl. She hits the front steps every time. Either she has a fantastic aim, or she walks the paper to the door.)
I grabbed the paper and the note, dropped the newspaper on the kitchen table, and then ran to my room with the envelope. I wasn't even dressed yet for school yet, but I read the letter right away, then thought it over while I got ready for school.
The envelope wasn't as fancy as the first one had been. It just said HILARY on the front, and the back flap was sealed with a pink heart sticker. I kind of wished the "I" in my name had been dotted with a heart again, which was really weird. I guess I was feeling a bit out of character today. Anyway, inside was another typed note.
This one said, "Dearest Hilary, I can't stop thinking about you. Maybe I'm in love with you. I don't know. I've never been in love before. You are as beautiful as a new flower blooming in the spring.
"Love, Your Mystery Admirer."
Well, that last part was a little flowery (over-written, my English teacher would say), but I didn't care. I'm not sure anyone had ever called me beautiful, except maybe Mom, and that doesn't count, because all mothers say their children are beautiful.
Of course, I told my friends about the notes when we ate lunch in the cafeteria that day. And, like Haley, they were all sure Tyson was my mystery admirer. I seemed to be the only one with any doubts.
The Next DayHilary's P.O.V
Okay, I admit it. I got a letter this morning. Imagine my surprise when I found another one in our mailbox that afternoon. It said, I love you, I love you, I love you.
"Loving you always, Your Mystery Admirer."
At School (I'm so sorry for changing locations so much.) Hilary's P.O.V"This," I cried, "is completely gross." I poked at something yellowy-brown on the plate of food I'd just bought in the lunch-line at the cafeteria.
"Then why," began Mandy, "Didn't you bring your own lunch? You could have brought a sandwich, you know."
I shrugged; staring back at the substance the school called food.
"If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one." Tara, another one of my close friends, quoted.
"And who is that quote by?" Tika raised an eyebrow.
"Mother Teresa, of course." Tara answered, as if stating the obvious. She then smiled and put a strand of her black hair with red streaks behind her ears, with a twinkle in her dark brown eyes.
"Of course." Haley said sarcastically, rolling her eyes, which caused Tara to give her a glare.
Haley, Mandy, Tika, Tara, and I were sitting at our usual table in the school cafeteria. "Anyway," I started, stabbing the unrecognizable thing in my fork, holding it up, and letting it dangle in front of me, "I like to gross out Haley." I aimed my fork in her direction.
Haley's eyes opened wide and she shrieked, "Put it down."
"Hilary." Tara laughed. "Either put that thing down or eat it."
I put the fork down. Hell no was I going to eat it.
"So," Mandy brought up. "Have you gotten any more letters?"
"Another one this morning." I replied, not looking up from my plate.
"And you didn't tell us?" Cried Tika.
"Sorry." I answered. "It was the fourth one. I guess I'm getting used to them."
"Used to them?" Repeated Haley, awed.
"Boy, if I had a mystery admirer who was sending me love letters..." Tara began loudly.
"Guys." I mumbled. "Keep your voice down."
"That was true, but I had noticed that Daisy and her snobby little crowd, were sitting at the next table. They were being extremely quiet.
"You guys." I whispered, and my friends leaned forward to hear me. "I brought the letters with me. Look." I spread the notes out on the table. I had even saved the envelopes because the stickers on them were pretty nice... in a way.
Everyone bunched around the letters.
"I love you, I love you, I love you." Mandy read. She sighed. "That is so, so romantic."
"Distant." Added Tara.
"But you guys don't think they're from..." I stopped. We had an audience. The boys at one table were watching us with great curiosity, and at the next table, Daisy was peering rudely at us. Then she turned to her friends and snickered. I put the letters away in a hurry.
"Don't pay attention to Daisy and those guys." Tika glared at Daisy and her friends, snickering.
"Yeah." Haley agreed. "I bet none of them ever got a love letter from a secret admirer.
"I wonder why the letters are typed though..." Stated Tara.
"Shhh..." I hissed. "I told you. It's so the mystery admirer can disguise his hand-writing."
"Then they must be from Tyson Kinomiya. Who else would need to disguise his writing?"
"Joey." I replied.
"Aw, come on, Hilary!" Tika exclaimed. "You know it's from Tyson!"
"As if." I scoffed.
Haley sighed. "No use in arguing with Hilary. Let's just get to our next class."
"Oh!" Mandy suddenly squealed. "I heard there's a new kid. He seemed kind of cute." Mandy blushed as soon as the words left her mouth.
The five girls all laughed and headed towards their next class, which was Math. Finally they all got to the door of the class and stumbled inside.
Just as the class was settled, there was a knock at the classroom door. Mrs. Gould, who was our math teacher, disappeared into the hallway for several minutes. Everyone wanted to know what was taking so long.
"She's talking to the principal!"
"What are they saying?"
"I can't hear anything!"
When Mrs. Gould returned, a boy no one had ever seen before followed her. Even though he was tall and athletic-looking, he seemed like the silent-type. He had flaming red hair, which all the girls were chattering about. He scanned the classroom with his icy blue eyes, meeting many students' questioning stares.
His eyes were a surprisingly deep blue. As they rested on Tara, her heart did a little flip-flop. Then he looked back at the ground; not wanting to look at the stares everyone was casting him.
"Class," Mrs. Gould started, "This is our new student. He is joining us at Melini's High School all the way from Russia. I want you to welcome Tala Ivanov."
The new boy looked up for an instant when he heard his name. He nodded but did not smile.
"What kind of weird name is Tala?" Daisy's friend, Kerri whispered.
"He sure doesn't look friendly." Ronald remarked.
"You can only find truth with logic if you have already found truth without it." Tara mumbled to Daisy and Ronald.
"Hmm." Mrs. Gould put her finger to her chin. "Now where should you sit..."
A bunch of girls raised their hand pointing to random empty seats.
"Yes... why don't you sit in the seat in front of Tara." Mrs. Gould decided. "Tara, raise you hand so he knows where you are."
Tara nervously raised her hand as Tala made his way to his seat and sat down in front of Tara.
Tara's P.O.VI froze when he sat in front of me. I froze into the icy statue of Tara. I couldn't even blink my eyes. I just kept staring at him. Thank heavens, he didn't know I was because his back was to me. Suddenly Tala turned around and faced me. I felt my back stiffen as he stared at me with those intense eyes.
"Hey." Tala said softly. "Do you know the answer to question 1 b)?"
I gulped, blushing a light pink, then replied, "When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty. I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong."
Tala looked confused. Did I mention he looked cute when he is? He raised both eyebrows at me. "And what exactly are you getting at?"
I took a deep breath, and felt my cheeks redden more. "I meant that when I do a problem, I'm always wrong, so therefore I don't know the answer."
"Oh." Tala smirked. "You could have just said that." Before he turned around he uttered to me, "You know, a witty saying proves nothing." Then gave one last look and turned around.
I just kept staring at him. Just stared, as his head moved when he leaned his head on his desk. I've definitely have a crush...
A few seats away Haley was whispering to Hilary. "She definitely has a crush."
