It was the next day and Theresa had the note in her purse.
"So, do you know who it is?" Atlanta asked. Theresa shook her head. "How should I know? It called a secret admirer's note. Not 'I'll-tell-you-who-I-am' note!" Theresa laughed. Herry came into the room.
"What are you guys talking about?" He asked. Theresa smiled and took out the note. "I got a note. I don't know who it's from but who ever it is, they're a good poet."
Herry read it out loud.
"Theresa; your heart and soul of gold, I wish I had your hands to hold. But who I am I must not say, for I'm afraid you don't feel this way. Guess who. Theresa? This is obviously from Jay." Theresa shook her head.
"No, it might not be. Look at the writing. It's Neil's hand writing. Not Jay's," Theresa explained. Herry sighed.
"So someone else likes you, and not Jay?" Herry asked. Theresa sighed. Atlanta frowned.

Theresa went to her bedroom and found another letter on her bed. Theresa gasped and picked it up, wondering what it said.
Theresa,
You have your day
I sill won't say
But this time is your glory.
You'll might not see me
But I'll see you
And maybe we'll meet in the library.
Theresa gasped in excitement. She ran outside, grabbed Atlanta's arm, and ran to the library.
"Theresa, what's wrong?" Atlanta asked quietly. Theresa went through her purse and gave her the note.
"So there's a possibility that someone's going to be here?" Atlanta asked. Theresa nodded. "Who is it?"
Then, all of a sudden, a friend of Theresa's from Junior High came walking through. She gasped lightly ; he had changed so much. He had black hair, and brown eyes. She remembered that she used to have a small crush on him, but now he was really good looking. She waved at him, and his eye's widened.
"Theresa?" He said, softly. He walked over. Atlanta was wide-eyed. "Who's that?" She asked.
"Hey, Theresa, how are you? Wow, you look…amazing!" He exclaimed. Atlanta made a shy wave.
"Atlanta, this is Ryan, a friend of mine. Ryan, this is Atlanta," She introduced. "Hey," Atlanta said, smiling brightly.
"So, is Jesse here too?" Theresa asked him. Ryan shook his head. "Not now. But he said that he will be."
As they talked, Atlanta noticed Jay coming into the library. Jay smiled and walked towards Atlanta.
"Hey, who's this guy?" Jay asked. "His name's Ryan. He used to go to school with Theresa." "Together?" Jay said, horrified. Atlanta waved a hand over his face. "Jay? Are you in there?" Jay snapped out of his thoughts.
Atlanta took out the letter from her pocket. "Jay? Did you send this to Theresa?" She asked, holding up the note.
He read it to himself.
"Atlanta, if I tell you, don't tell anyone, ok?" He asked. Atlanta smiled. "So…you do like hr, and you are sending her notes. You really want to tell her, do you?"
"No!" Jay exclaimed quietly. "You said you wouldn't tell. Did you tell?" He asked. Atlanta shook her head. "No, I didn't. I said that I would keep my word. But if you want, Archie and I could help you." "I don't need help," Jay said.
"Yes, you might. Ryan was the heartthrob of her school. She likes him, and Theresa might think that he's sending her the notes."
Jay's eyes widened.
"What? That's…that's horrible!" He yelled. In a spilt second Jay and Atlanta could hear people shushing them.
Theresa turned around and noticed Jay.
"Hi," Theresa said. Ryan frowned. "He's your boyfriend?" He asked. Theresa shook her head. "No. Just a friend," She said. Jay gaped.
Just a friend?
How could you say that? JUST A FRIEND? Are you crazy? Why'd you say that? That's it! Split up with Ryan! NOW!
Her brain had fought against her…again! Theresa sighed. "Um, Ryan, I guess I'll see you later," she smiled. Jay frowned, but tried to be polite.
"By the way, I'm Jay," He said. "Ryan," Ryan said, shaking Jay's hand.
Atlanta, Theresa and Jay walked out of the library.
"Ryan? Is he your boyfriend?" Jay asked. Theresa sighed dreamily.
"I wish! He has a girlfriend already. His brother's cute, too. Except Ryan, he was my best friend before I was in this team. Whenever I cried he was there for me. But he has a girlfriend now and I have you," Theresa said, blushing and looking at Jay. Jay smiled shyly and looked away. Atlanta slyly smiled.
So maybe Ryan was off the list. Maybe it would work out between them. Maybe the were meant together.
Haha! Scared, you, didn't I? No, Theresa's not going off with Ryan, I'll tell you that.
