TUESDAY, FEB. 4th
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP.
The alarm clock was silenced with much force this time. I groggily rolled out of my bed and on to the floor. I stood and scratched my head before turning and scanning the room. It's a habit. Don't judge me.
The table was slightly different today. There was another rose in the vase, and a nice black ribbon had been tied in a bow around the vase's neck. A little card sat next to the vase as well.
I nodded sleepily before getting ready for school. Then, and only then, did I attempt to read the card.
'Dear, Sammy.
This is the month of Valentine's Day. It's kind of a tradition to treat the girl you like better during this month. So I hope you like the gifts. Enjoy!'
I wasn't sure who felt like it was okay to just call me 'Sammy,' but I was contented to know the reason for the roses. Maybe this secret admirer was also the giver of the Dumpty Humpty shirt? That's nice, really. I'm thankful.
I greeted the boys at the street corner once again, and we started our commute to educational prison. Danny insisted on carrying my backpack for me today, AND he STILL opened every door I walked through. It was very gentlemanly. Maybe he was in on this Valentine's Day stuff, too?
I was pleasantly surprised to see Dumpty Humpty's latest CD come falling out of my locker. This secret admirer must have known somehow that I didn't have it yet. I'm not sure if that's creepy, or sweet.
Danny carried my books for even, and even though I protested, on the inside I was screaming like a little girl with a new toy. Did this mean Danny likes me? Do I need to do something for him? He was opening doors and carrying my books for me like a total boss. It was impressive.
And when the day ended? I was sort of looking forward to waking up. Sort of.
