Love letter from a secret admirer Dear Ellie, Lately, I have been thinking about you a lot. We have known each other for a long time, but I don’t think you know how I feel about you. When I see you walking through the halls, it’s like time slows down and I can’t help but stare at you. When we talk, it feels like we are the only two people in the universe. And last Friday, when you touched my hand in Math class, my heart skipped a beat. I’ve had the biggest crush on you for a very long time. I am not brave enough to tell you this in person. As I’m writing you this letter, I’m so scared at the thought of you really reading it. But I have to tell you. I need to know how you feel about me. I need to know if you feel the same way. I so hope you feel the same way. Would you go out on a date with me? It would make the happiest guy in the world. I would love to take you to that little Italian ice cream shop in town. We could eat some ice cream and talk. Tomorrow afternoon, I will wait for you at the school’s entrance after school. Meet me there if you feel the same way. I hope I see you then. Love, Evan
