40 - “I wasn’t lying when I said that I loved you.”
When she found the first letter in her chemistry textbook, Maddy just shrugged it off. It didn’t mention her by name, after all--all it said was, “I have to tell you~ you’re beautiful. I think I love you.” That could have been for the book’s last owner, after all (though she did pretend it could have been her). But it made her smile, and she tucked it back inside for the book’s next owner.
When she opened her locker the next day and a second letter (“Do you know how lovely you are?”) fluttered down, she was surprised. What were the odds, after all, that she’d find one note and get a second? And then, how did someone sneak a note into her textbook in the first place?
Lots of questions. And if there’s one thing Maddy hated more than the Heathers, it was unanswered questions.
By time she had received the sixth letter (“Madeleine, Madeleine Madeleine, I must love you or die~”), she was slightly pissed. If it was a prank from her friends, then it was going on a little long now--and OJ, Nova and Sage all said it wasn’t, so it had to be someone else. But then who? Who leaves love letters in secret places for someone and never says anything?
She took to watching her classmates closer, but then... the letters stopped.
It wouldn’t be til years later, at their 10-year high school reunion that someone finally came forward....
Bruh, if you wanna know why I am the way I am then please look at the fact that my mother made floral arrangements for all the nurses and receptionists in the cancer ward
