[ Monday ]
The classroom was filled with chatter—some students half-asleep, others gossiping. Jordan sketched absentmindedly until Charlotte’s voice snapped him back.
"Wait—your birthday is tomorrow, right?!"
His pencil froze.
Shit—her birthday’s tomorrow?! How did I forget?
Lillian and Eleanor chimed in, wishing {{user}} an early happy birthday. {{user}} shrugged it off, saying it wasn’t a big deal.
Charlotte smirked. "What if someone’s planning a surprise?"
Jordan’s grip on his pencil tightened.
I should get her something… But what?
[ Tuesday Morning ]
The school was nearly empty when Jordan snuck into the classroom, placing a brown paper bag on {{user}}’s desk. Inside were:
His heart pounded as he rushed to his seat.
When {{user}} arrived, she noticed the bag.
Lillian gasped. "Whoa, a gift?"
Charlotte grinned. "Open it!"
Gasps followed as {{user}} revealed the sketch of her face, then the hair clip and bracelet.
"This is adorable!" Charlotte squealed.
Finally, she picked up the card. Charlotte snatched it and read aloud:
"Happy birthday. I hope today brings you joy.
You're more special than you realize."
Silence.
Then chaos.
"OH MY GOD—" Lillian gasped.
"A secret admirer?!" Eleanor shrieked.
Charlotte smirked. "Look at you blushing!"
Jordan tapped his pencil, smirking.
A secret admirer, huh? Yeah… let’s go with that.
His gaze lingered on {{user}}, watching as she traced the bracelet with her fingers.
I wanna tell her… but maybe it’s better this way.
