Tracy's POV

My alarm jolts me awake from most wonderful dream. I'll keep all the glory details to myself but i can tell you this i enjoyed it greatly. Too bad it was just a dream. Dragging myself out of bed i go through my usual morning routine and soon I'm standing in my walk in closet deciding what to wear.

I pick a combat themed long sleeved T-shirt and a pair of blue rugged jeans. I'm actually not a huge fun of showing skin off but my mom bought me a few of these jeans and i decided it was time I tried them on. Pulling on my matching jungle green underwear and bra i pull on my clothes and end the look with some black combat boots. I pick up my signature leather jacket, sunglasses and backpack before walking out of my room.

I find breakfast on the kitchen countertop with a note attached
"Had to head off to the site early. Make sure you eat breakfast. Have a nice day at school.
Love dad."

Even in a note he still managed to sound bossy. I ate my breakfast before picking up my usual apple and heading out the garage door. Since my wrist was healed i could now ride my bike and i had missed that.

I take my helmet from the seat and replace it with my bag. I pull my hair into a pony tail to prevent helmet hair before getting on my bike and zooming out of the garage. To say riding felt great after a whole week without it would be an understatement. I was able to maneuver through traffic fast and was on school grounds with time to spare.

I found Scola waiting for me by her car next to my parking spot and before i even parked she was on me like a leech.

"Hey bestie." she hugged me tight almost crushing the life out of me.

" Morning you over adorable ray of sunshine."I greet tweaking her nose.

She hates when I do that and I hate long hugs so we are even.

" Before i forget this is for you." she hands me a pink box with a ribbon on it.

I take the box from her and eye it carefully. I hate gifts and Scola knows this. I'm about to protest but she beats me to it.

" I know you hate gifts but its not from me. It even has a note, look." she points to the small folded paper attached under the knotted ribbon.

I remove the card and it has only one word written on it. "Will"

"How do you know its mine?" i ask her puzzled.

" Because i found a freshman holding it waiting for you by your parking spot but i decided to be the one to give it to you." she says this too cheerfully for my liking.

I open the box and my mouth immediately waters at the sight in front of me.

I have only ever seen this sight in front of me once in my entire life and it was on my fifth birthday. Christian had given me these chocolates as a gift.

They were twenty four chocolate pieces shaped into balls but decorated in different designs. These were not only expensive but also very rare. So rare only available to royalty and multi -billionaires. Don't get me wrong we were rich but this was another level of rich.

"Damn those look good." Scola exclaims and goes to pick one but I slap her hand off.

"Mine." i pout hugging them to me.

" You meanie. So who do you think they are from? Oh my gosh you have a secret admirer." she claps her hands in glee.

I couldn't help but wonder who could have given them to me. And what did the note mean. I shrug and carefully place the box in my backpack before walking with Scola into the school building. She talks my ear off with ramblings of the latest celebrity gossip and a few about the school. Even Christian's break up with Flarrie comes up but I shrug it off. I didn't want to get my hopes up but a part of me was hoping that their break up had something to do with me receiving chocolates the morning after their break up.

Scola and i part at the lockers after she gives me this long hopeful look followed by another weird hug before she hops off. This girl needed to reduce whatever she was having.

I opened my locker and for the second time this morning another box met my eyes only this time it was red. It also had another not saying "You".

I looked around to see if anyone had dropped it off but to my surprise nobody seemed out of the ordinary. The box still had chocolates in it but a different if not more elegant design.

The chocolates were smaller but more in number and the designs were different even had different colours like purple and red.

I shrugged before switching out my books before i carefully placed the notes and boxes on top of each other and leaving for class. Not before i popped a piece of heavenly goodness in my mouth.

At the moment i didn't care who they were from but they tasted pretty darn good. I'm sure i had this ridiculous grin on my face for the rest if the day and a spring to my step. Who knew maybe i actually had a secret admirer? My biggest hope however was that the admirer was the owner if a set if intriguing blue eyes that i seemed to have an obsession with lately.

******************************
Lunch time came by pretty quick and i would be lying if i said i wasn't starving. Scola offered to accompany me to change my books before we went to the cafeteria but i declined. I could see Jesse really wanted some time with her so i let him whisk her away. I could see he really adored her so i made a mental note to have 'the talk' with him to keep him on his toes. Nobody messes with my best friend.

I snagged another chocolate piece from one of the boxes before switching my books and walked to the cafeteria. I picked up two slices of pizza an extra apple i had an obsession with this fruit. I also got some juice. I went to pay but the cashier declined saying someone had already taken care of it. I shrugged thinking it was Scola and walked to the table.

I sat next to Jesse and frowned at Scola's absence. Noticing my confusion Jesse points at Scola who is busy trying to pick out a juice flavor. She always does this but will end up picking peach. I look around the table for once and notice that everyone has a girl in their arms some even two except for Jesse obviously and Christian who is busy glancing at me. I raise an eyebrow at him but he quickly glances down concentrating on his food.

The question about him being my admirer is at the tip of my tongue but i distract myself but protecting by best friend.

"Jesse" i call and beckon him to lean in closer. Once he does i grab him by the collar of his jacket and bring him closer.

" I love my best friend so listen carefully. I don't care what your past is but i know you still have the playboy in you so i suggest you shove it deep down and forget it. Scola has been in love with you since forever but if she is just another pass time to you then let her go now. But if you're really serious about her then make sure you treasure her because if i hear just one complain or she sheds a single tear over you. I will kill you slowly and painfully then bring your ashes to her in an envelope."I threaten with the nicest voice but the meanest look on my face.

He looks intimidated but tries really hard to hide it. "I love her too and would never think of hurting her. I would be the first one to hurt myself if i ever hurt her."

"Good am glad we have come to an agreement." i say letting him go before patting his jacket and turning to my food.

I find Christian staring at me again with a lopsided smile and a proud look on his face. I feel a brush creeping in from my neck but I'm saved by my best friend who sits herself between Jesse and i. I look at the peach flavored juice she picked and smirk at her.

" Drop that proud smirk off your face." she huffs.

"Oh no! This is here to stay." if a smirk could get wider mine just did at that moment.

We enjoy lunch in silence as the boys talk basketball and girls talk shopping while i talk nothing. But my lunch is intruded by a black box being shoved in my face by a student i don't know. I can tell though that he's on the school's basketball team from the sports jersey he is wearing.

"For you." he places it in my hands and before i can ask who sent him he scurries away.

" This secret admirer thing is getting pretty serious.". I nod agreeing with Scola's assessment.

I look at the card and like the other has only one word "Be". I open the box and its more elegant chocolate. They look almost too good to eat.

"Are the notes hand written or typed?" Scola enquires.

"Written. Why?"

" It just adds a personal touch to it." she says shrugging.

Then it hits me. Handwriting. Yes. Why didn't i think of it before?

I pick up the box and my backpack before rushing getting up quickly.

"Where are you going?" Scola asks.

" To find my secret admirer." i reply before walking off.

I open my locker quickly before rummaging inside and find what I'm looking for. When we were kids Christian and i began a best friends scrap book where we'd write small quotes for each other or attach and draw pictures for one another.

I compare all the notes to his handwriting but sadly enough it doesn't match. I also notice that the words are written in crayon. How didn't i notice that before? I guess i was too blinded by the chocolate goodness in front of me. I taste a piece from the newest box and groan from the pleasure that erupts in my mouth. Whoever this person is has found a way into my heart already.

Since my suspicions were a dead end i decided to head out to class early.

**********************
I lean my forehead against my locker and sigh. Today has been a long day and i can't believe I'm going to say this but i want to take a long soak in the tub. I open my locker switch out all my books and place all my chocolates and notes in my backpack. The scrap book catches my eye and as i go to pick it up someone taps my back and i jump dropping my the book.

"What is it with people popping out of everywhere today?" i ask gritting my teeth in annoyance.

"I'm sorry i didn't mean to scare you." the unveiled Christian apologizes.

He bends to pick over the fallen book and before her recognizes what it is i snatch it from his hands.

"Is that..?" he asks pointing at the book in my hands.

I quickly shove it in my bag before zipping it shut and slamming my locker closed.

"No, no it isn't." this statement comes out too fast and even i don't believe myself.

I walk away fast before i can make a fool out of myself but a hand grabbing   mine stops me. That electric rush goes through me again and i stop mid stride tripping myself. Thankfully Christian tightens his hold on me and pulls me flush against his body. I find myself holding my breath as i can feel his hand on my bare back. My jacket must have risen from the fall. My hands are on his chest and boy is he hard everywhere. I feel like groping him to have a better feel but i cant seem to stare anywhere else but his eyes.

I thought i was tall but the height difference is so noticeable right now making me feel like a midget. Christian snaps out of it before me and let's me go slowly just in case i fall again.

"Are you hurt?" he asks concern filling his eyes.

"No I'm good. Thank you for catching my fall."

"Always." I hear the promise in his voice but try not to let it turn me into another falling mess. Not that i would mind being crushed against Christian again. What am i even saying? I compose myself quickly before the girl who has been in love with Christian for years takes over and i jump him.

"What did you want Christian?"I ask him as politely as i can.

He rubs the back of his neck nervously as i almost aaawh at how flustered he looks. I mentally slap myself for those thoughts. What is happening to me?

"You know what never mind. Ill see you around Acey." and before i can acknowledge the fact that he called me using his childhood nickname for me he shocks me more by kissing me and hightailing out of there.

Relax it was just on my cheek but very close to my mouth. I want to be angry at myself and at him but my hand finds itself in the spot where he kissed me and the largest grin finds itself on my face. Maybe Scola was right. I would be loosing the fifty dollars to her pretty soon.

I find myself standing beside my motorcycle not knowing  how I  got here. I find a gift box attached to my motorcycle handle, there's no one around so i don't know how it got here. Inside is a purple box with a ribbon and red glass rose .

It looks so beautiful and the petals so delicate. Whoever was leaving this knew how to woo a lady.

I open the box but it refuses to open. I then notice that it has five seperate compartments with a word written on each apart from the first two. "My" "Friend" "Again? "

"Will you be my friend again? "

Those are the words of all the notes combined. I now have no doubt whatsoever that this was Christians doing. My heart literally swells at his effort to be my friend again. I clamp down a squeal of excitement that almost bubbled out of me. I don't know what to do with all this rising feelings and i know just who to call.

I need you ASAP. Its an emergency. Code red.

I quickly type this text to Scola and get on my bike to ride home quick. I needed to get me back together and nobody better to help me than my best friend.
