Y/n POV

It's Valentine's Day.
Okay it's safe to say my initial reaction was: wait? What's the date?
Then around three seconds later, once I spot my mum and dad exchanging cards, flowers, chocolate etc....I flip shit.

Valentine's Day, the worst day of the year. The day when you can fully celebrate how fucking lonely you are. Yayyy.

"Awe Alex is so cute" My best friend Ellie cooes and carefully places her red bunch of roses into her locker. It's too cute...I can't.

"Lucky" I mumble and stuff my hand in my blazer pocket, rummaging around for my locker keys.

"I bet you've got a secret lover somewhere" Ellie giggles, shutting her locker and patting my back in a 'friendly way'. "Guarantee" She smiles confidently and I roll my eyes.

"Sure" I nod sarcastically, finally lifting up my keys and sticking them into my locker.

"Don't be so depressing" She sighs, staring down at her open text messages. I quickly glance at her screen, immediately looking away once I catch sight of a message along the lines of "love you too baby, come over tonight😏❤"

Can I please unsee that?

Blinking hard to erase the sight, I open up my locker, squealing with fright as something falls straight out.

"Ah shit" I mumble and grab the falling envelope, shutting my locker door afterwards.

"See I told you!" Ellie beams, pointing down at the card. My eyes grow the size of golf balls. She was right?!

I stare down at it, reading the words written across the red envelope in black ink.

To Y/n x

"Oh" I frown, tearing the shiny paper open from the top corner. "Who do you think it's from?"

"Hmmm" She taps her chin, thinking. "Not sure actually"

I shrug, pulling the pink card out the enclosed space, sniffing at the whiff of rose like perfume which cascades out the envelope.

On Valentine's Day
Here's a message to you
In my own way...

After reading the front, my heart skips a beat. There's sparkling paper flowers and the moon shining in the top left corner of the beautiful card. It's so pretty.

"Omg omg open it open it!" Ellie giggled, clapping her hands together. I roll my eyes, hiding my ecstatic excitement.

Finally I open it up, slapping my hand over my mouth almost instantly. It's sparkling with glitter, the baby pink surface scrawled with black ink.

To Y/n

I'm sorry I've not had the courage to say this until now...
But Y/n you are so amazing, beautiful, kind, and helpful.

Thanks for always helping me in maths, wouldn't of passed without you.

Thankyou for giving me something to awe at everyday.
Y/n I've never felt like this before. It's just crazy.

I have never been very good at talking. Whenever I try to express the emotions whirling in my mind, my throat tightens blocking me from saying anything.

But Y/n there are not enough days in forever to allow me to fully express the depth of my love for you.

And maybe one day you'll feel the same?
Ah just think about it yeah? ;)

Love from Popsie
Xxx

I don't realise my jaw has fallen open until Ellie taps the bottom of it, snapping me out of awe.

"I knew he liked you Y/n!" She smiles and I turn to her, a huge grin on my face.

"I didn't" I manage a whisper, my body freezing as I spot Jack in the distance, walking towards me with a smile.

I gaze up at him, taking in everyone of his amazing features. He's actually perfect...how have I never seen this until now?

He passes me in the small crowd of people, his hand cheekily tracing across my back as he walks off again.

I can't help but smile down at the card again, reading over his words over and over.

Am I dreaming?
