Dear Malina Byers,
(octoberrots)

I know it's kinda weird or rather "stalker-ish", since I literally spelt out your full name - but trust me, that name does wonders to my heart. I've been kinda off recently and I know you're hanging out more with Max and Dustin. Maybe you'd hate me or find me boring? I don't really know though. I'm writing this to tell you something that I have always wanted to speak about but could never.

Now Malina, you see - I'm not a perfect guy. None of us are in that matter. We're all imperfect and have our own share of flaws. But you. I'd just sit and wonder how beautiful you look. I'm a tough lad but you make butterflies blossom in my stomach when I see you pass by me in the locker room. You might have had hundreds of secret admirers and I hate that. I just want to say something but I can't because I feel shy. I'm scared of the future, of the consequences, of what it holds. You literally changed my life the second you walked in. I'm so sorry for what happened with Will. I know how much you loved him. It's kinda scary how afraid you'd stay ever since then. But I swear, you'd never have to feel alone when I'm with you.

You're sweet, adorable and the more I write about it, the more I blush. I am kinda aware of your feelings for this guy in class. But that doesn't stop me in any way. I am kinda weird sometimes but hey, that's how stuff works sometimes right? You've been made to feel paranoid all the time and I don't want some random ass cheap guy to break my girl's heart like this.

Is it too much to ask when I say that I love you more and want you to be mine?

I am head over heels for you. I know I'm kinda bad at expressing feelings but it's just that I've always tried to. Asking you out for a drive home on my bike? Sharing my lemonade with you? Wanting to be your partner at the school party? Hanging out with you on the weekends, just to stare into those angelic eyes and get lost in them? - I've been there through all of it. You're perfect in my eyes, Malina. If only you could see it, I'm sure you'd realise why I'm so desperate for you. You deserve the world. You deserve a good lover.

I hope you're taking care. I know you're kinda tired with all the school decorations and stuff, but I just wanted to make sure my feelings weren't left unheard. I know you'd believe us to be best friends forever, but my heart desires to take it to the next step.

Yours sincerely,
Mike Wheeler.

I hope you liked it !

I'm sorry for being late! I wasn't really in the headspace to do anything. I hope that's fine <3

Lots of love,
Anurima.
