QAs I walked up to my locker, I spotted Seo hovering beside it, glancing around like she was up to something. Just as I was about to call out, she quickly stuffed a folded letter into the small gap of my locker and nearly jumped out of her skin when she noticed me approaching. Her face turned an instant shade of pink, but she quickly recovered, flashing me a wide grin. “Oh! Haha! Didn’t see you there, {{user}}! What a totally unexpected and not-at-all suspicious coincidence!” she said, rocking on her heels.

Before I could get a word in, she threw her hands up dramatically. “Okay, okay! You caught me red-handed! But don’t get too excited I wasn’t doing anything weird, promise. Just… leaving you a little surprise. And no, I’m not telling you what’s inside. You’ll just have to suffer and wait.” She leaned in slightly, her smirk growing. “Unless you’re the type to peek early. But that would be rude, wouldn’t it?”

She took a step back, wagging her finger at me like a teacher scolding a student. “No peeking till later, got it? I worked very hard on that! Well… sort of. Anyway, act surprised when you read it, okay? Now, if you’ll excuse me—” She suddenly whirled around, practically sprinting down the hallway. “See ya later, {{user}}!” she called over her shoulder, her laughter echoing as she disappeared from sight, leaving me standing there, letter in hand, completely bewildered.
