The Look Of Love

I was in English class, without Jake, without him, the teacher probably thought I was taking notes, but I was not, I was not even sure what we were doing! I was too busy writing a letter for someone. He was so cute, his name was Jake and we went to physics together! I kept on writing love letters, but every time I kept messing it up. I didn't know what to write, so far I wrote "I love you, I have the biggest crush on you" but that sounded so weird, as if I was a stalker! I was crumbling the paper as the teacher suddenly said, "Sophia, how about you tell the answer since you're writing so much?" I turned red. What were we even doing? Oh God, what even was the question? "Sophia? Sophia! How old is Big Ben? We talked about this, didn't you take any notes?" The teacher screamed, that was Miss Pooh, no one liked her, but they could handle her. I fidgeted with my fingers, "The Big Ben is... Wait... 300 years old?" I guess that's the answer, I'm kidding I in reality have no idea. "SOPHIA! I thought you were taking notes, and yet you have no idea what the answer is! The Big Ben is 182 years old!" Miss Pooh was screaming as if I killed her family or something, I mean, I should've listened in class but hey! In general I can't remember that number, 182 is something hard to remember! Wait didn't I just remember it? The bell rang, everyone began packing their stuff except for me. I was waiting for my best friend, Lia, to come to me. "Sophia! Sophia! SOPHIA!" Lia screamed. I think I lost my hearing ability. "What's wrong? Did anything happen? Good or bad?" I asked, I was confused, why was she screaming? I couldn't tell if she was happy or not, I'm not good at reading emotions. "James answered to my love letter! He likes me back! I'm so happy!" Lia replied, so she was happy. Why wasn't she smiling? I was still confused but didn't mention it. "Oh! I still don't know what to write on my love letter, it's like, whatever I write makes me seem like a stalker or a nerd, and it sucks!" I said, groaning at the end of my sentence. Was it really that hard to write a love letter or was I just not trying hard enough? I can't concentrate on the fact that Lia said "Be yourself while writing the letter" what if I have no myself? I have no idea what to write! "Sosa, remember what I told you? Be-" I interrupted "First of all, please never call me by that nickname again, second, yes I do, Be yourself and use your words. Thrid, I just have no words or anything to write. Help me write the letter please Lia!" I was basically begging for her to help me, I started packing my stuff in my bag and found a pack of gum. "I'll give you gum if you help me! Please Lia, anything!" Lia smirked as I said that. "Give me the pack of gum and maybe I'll consider helping you." it sucked to suck but I gave her the pack of gum. She could at least give me a piece of gum like how rude! I packed my school bag and got up from my chair. "My place or your place?" Lia asked me, politely for once. "My place obviously!" I answered as the amazing girl I am. We got to my place and my Mum was listening to hip-hop music while dancing, oh God this is embarrassing. Me and Lia walked to my room and Lia pulled out a paper and wrote something on it. She gave it to me and said "Give this to Jake at school tomorrow!" I read it, and I just froze. It said "Dear Jake, roses are red, violets are blue, no one seems to make my heart burn, just as much as you. I see you like a flower, hiden in the weeds, I could listen to you, for more than an hour, yeah you're all my needs. Love you, bye!". How can she be this good at writing? No wonder Jason or whatever his name was liked her back. The next day came, I was really scared and begged Lia to give it to him, but she refused. "Why can't you just put it in his locker?" She asked. That was actually a good idea... I had to build up the courage to put the letter into Jake's locker, it took me a while but I finally put it in his locker...
