The Secret Admirer

“Are you nervous Lilly?” Kate asked.

“No, I know it will happen; today’s the day,” she said confidently.

“I believe you,” Kate said firmly.

They both walked to Lilly’s locker, anxious for the start of a new day; and the start of the last week before prom. Kate already had a date; her boyfriend Max.

“Huh, this is weird,” said Lilly.

“What?” Kate asked. “What’s weird?”

“This,” Lilly said, pointing to a box wrapped in birthday paper in her locker.

“But that’s silly, today’s not your birthday,” Kate said.

“I know,” she said, miffed. She decided to open the note taped onto it.

I heard that today was your birthday. I thought that you deserved a present. Hope you like it.
Signed,
Your Secret Admirer
