XO, PATTY [episode 1]
On one bright and beautiful afternoon, I, Patrick, was reading Dork Diaries, my favorite novel, and at the same time having a chit-chat with my bestie April in Basic 11 class. We were talking about my grandmother's cookies, which are the best ever. Perhaps she adds some magical ingredients to make them extra delicious and tasty. Suddenly, the school bell rong, then everyone in the class including April and I went to the cafeteria. We both sat together in the same bench. A letter was then thrown at me roughly by a stupid and rude student just as I was about to eat. He immediately stormed out in a rage without waiting for my response. I was astonished to the utmost degree and looked at April, who was equally astounded. April stopped me just as I was about to follow him, so I sat back and took a glance at the letter before deciding to discard it. Other students' gazes were drawn to the drama.
April was, like...
APRIL: Patty, what are you going to do with it?
ME: Get rid of it.
APRIL: (surprised), why? Open it and see what is inside; can you not see how elegantly decorated and expensive it looks?
ME: I won't, it was sent rudely.
APRIL: And so.
ME: I have already decided to squeeze it and throw it in the trash.
April: it could be something significant.
ME: Well, if it was very important or whatsoever, they would have sent it properly. It was not at all pleasant what the sender did a few minutes ago.
APRIL: I understand it was unpleasant, but you should open it... though I'm curious.
ME: You open it; I am hungry and want to eat.
APRIL: With pleasure...
She grabbed it quickly and opened it with curiosity-----she read the letter loud enough for me to hear.
The Letter
"I wish I could express my feelings to you, but I'm afraid of your response. I want you to know that you are the only one who occupies my thoughts day and night. I dream of being with you someday. It makes me feel jealous when someone flirts with you, and your smile brings happiness to my face. You brighten up my day every time I see you. I find it difficult to ignore you, and I don't know why you make me feel the way I do. Although it's hard to say hello, or just give a smile and a simple wave, I can't help but feel this way. Your smile today took my breath away... I just want to let you know that I really like you, Pat."
From: Miro Eldrick
After hearing the letter, I became enraged and furious. April opened her mouth, stunned... She shouted before I could even ask her the author's name.
APRIL: El El Eldrick..!
