Fallon paced one of the empty corridors. The only sound came from the clicking of her shoes as she paced and her heavy breathing. The person's going to confess? I don't even know who that was. She was panicked, she didn't even know who this rival was. It couldn't be Ashley, Fallon could see Ashley at the other end of the locker room. She took her phone out of her bag and sent a text to Isabel.
Fallon: did you know someone's planning to confess to Noah
Isabel: I found out when you did.
Fallon: who was that?
Isabel: I don't know.
Fallon: what do you mean you don't know? What am I supposed to do?
Isabel: beat her to it. You need to confess today.
Fallon: TODAY? I'm not ready.
Isabel: sorry. You have no choice. You should've taken and destroyed the note. That would've brought you time.
Isabel: good luck.
Fallon had to confess today. She felt a little stupid. Isabel was right, Fallon should've destroyed the note. He would've never known. She had to confess to Noah today, before her unknown rival could reach the tree. The main problem was the words. Fallon didn't have the words to confess her feelings for Noah. It had to be perfect, as it was the moment she had been working so hard for. She thought about the people she had killed, just for a moment. She couldn't allow those murders be all in vain. Every drop of blood had to lead to her future with Noah. She had paved the pathway to happiness with the bodies of her victims, and she couldn't allow it to be destroyed now. She walked slowly to her class, with her situation being the only thing on her mind.

"Noah... I love you... No that's not good enough." She was pacing back and forth in an empty corridor, trying to find the words. It was lunch, and so far the day had dragged by. She was so scared. She knew what had to be said, but she didn't know how to say it. She sighed and tried again. "Noah... I have... Feelings... For you... No, that's not right either." She stopped pacing and put down her bag. She looked out of the window and tried again to find the words. "Noah... I really like you. I guess I've liked you for a while now... I still don't know... I only hope I don't mess this up."

The rest of the day passed slowly for Fallon, and was filled with worry. She had spent the whole day hoping she would find the right words to confess to Noah. She was walking towards the blossom tree by the track, knowing what needed to be done. She really wasn't ready, but if she didn't confess to him today, she would lose him forever. She felt her feet picking up, and herself running even faster. She had to make it to the tree first, before Noah and her rival. Her feet slowed into a walk, then into a stop.
