Roses for Jake

This is something I wrote! It's not really that great...but I wrote it :D Also, it's not finished. Tell me if you think I should continue.

 'Just walk, try to be calm, cool, and collected', of course my body failed to follow this order, and I tripped, my friend Mary snickered. And my rosy cheeks turned an brighter shade of red. "Hey loser! Learn to walk" Austin yelled from across the courtyard. I would have normally yelled back what my angry thoughts were telling me, but I couldn't force myself to because next to Austin was Matt, the most popular and hottest guy at Washington High. He was out of the closet, but also out of my league. I was in the middle of the school food chain, but me being gay made me not as popular, I was an unlucky gay boy.

"Jake! Why didn't you yell at Austin like you normally would?" Mary questioned.
"Didn't you see Matt standing their? He is so hot, but I'm nothing! UGH!!" That last part I wanted to yell, to scream! But I couldn't, because I had just entered my Geometry classroom.
"Well you should totally tell him you're into him! I did it with Kenny, and look at us now. A perfect couple." Mary said, referring to her boyfriend.
"Yeah, well at least Kenny's in your league, me and Matt are never going to happen, plus, I'm just a freshmen, and he's a juni-" I was going to say "Junior", but was rudely interrupted by my Math teacher saying "STUDENTS!! TAKE YOUR SEATS!!" I was very much dreading this, because it meant I would have to sit right behind Matt, which some people might find amazing but tortured me severely, because being near him made me unable to concentrate.

Our lame math teacher was talking, but I had already left, my mind concerned with much more important things. Like, what I was going to wear tomorrow to get Matt to look at me. But as I was doing this, I noticed my other best friend, Kristen drawing, A closer inspection of the drawing was that it was me...and MATT!!! Even worried as I was, I couldn't help admiring her handy-work. She had drawn both of us perfectly. My hair was slightly curled, and hanging over my forehead, she's drawn my eyes just right  with the pencil she had made my eyes the exact shade of gray they were, like the fur of a wolf. And my mouth, slightly curved because of the joyous smile I always had. She also had Matt just right; his hair was curlier then mine, and slightly shorter, his eyes though, the most amazing shade of blue, like the waters of Lake Tahoe. And his angelic face, which contained with angular and rounded features. But my favorite part of the sketch, was how she had drawn me cradled in Matt's arms, looking up at his face with the most loving gaze I had ever seen. And he was looking back at me, with the same love. It caught me off guard. And I soon found myself staring at the picture. And soon the bell rang. Mary, Kristen, and I practically sprinted out of the room. I, barely paying attention, because I was yelling bye to Mary, bumped into Matt. Spilling my books everywhere. Kristen almost went to help, but then saw who I had bumped into, left, giggling. He said, "Oops! Sorry." He then let the sweetest smile out. I was stunned. He just started picking my things up. And then handed them to me. I was still stunned...couldn't even manage a 'thanks'. So he walked away.

While I walked to Kristen's brother's car, a red Bug. We always rode together, and I was so stunned, that I didn't even notice the origami rose that was on the top of my collection of notebooks and textbooks. "Uhhh...what's that?" Kristen wondered, referring to the Rose.
"I have no idea..." I replied. I was just gonna throw it away... thinking it must be from some creeper. But...looking at it again, I decided something of such beauty should not be thrown away. Then I noticed there was a note written on the bottom of the flower, it said,

"Sorry about Austin.
Hope to see you soon.
Love always,
Your admirer"

"OH MY EFFING GOD!!! Kristen, look at this!" I yelled out. She read it quickly, then started to screaming in excitement.
"JAKE!!! Do you know what this means? Someone has a crush on you!!"
"I know...but what if it's some creeper dude?"
"It can't be." She replied, "because the only people in that courtyard were you, Mary, Austin, Matt, and Bryce! So it was either Matt or Bryce...and we both know Bryce is straight." I didn't want to believe it...I didn't want to get my hopes up...and just have them crushed.
"I can't believe it was him...I just can't see it!"
"Want me to ask him?"
"HHHHHEEEEEEEEELLLLLL NNNNOOOOO!!! We're going to find out...but not like that. I'm going to have the flower out in math and talk to you about it, see if we get a response out of him."

And the next day, during math, that's exactly what I did. I made sure he understood what was happening, and talked to Kristen about the rose...but I got nothing. I was ready to give up hope, but then when we got to the car, I saw another origami rose! It was red, and slightly different...it had way more pedals. And it also had a note on the bottom,

"Jake, you obviously either haven't figured out who I am,
so I'll give you another hint.
Roses that are pink should make you think
Roses that are Red should be under a bed
love always,
Your Admirer"

After I read it I gave it to Kristen, we tried to decipher it on the way to my house, where she was going to spend the night, but came up with nothing.

That night we talked about boys, and stuff..well actually pretty much just boys. At one point Kristen was telling me how cute she thought I was. So I told her how I thought about her; you see, I've always been a bit jealous of Kristen, she has this beautiful carmel brown hair, light brown eyes with a bit of green, and white skin that made her look like a smexy albino. But her absolute but quality was her great personality. She has a fantastic humor and a contagious happiness, just being near her was sure to make you joyous. After that we talked and talked, until I finally asked how things were going with her boyfriend. "Oh..." Kristen said, "Well that's a bit complicated."
"Complicated?"
'Well...I think Sabrina might be trying to steal him..." Sabrina was Kristen's ex-best friend, they had been fighting ever since Sabrina went all the way with one of Kristen's old boyfriends..while Kristen and him were still going out. It was messy!
"Why would she do that?!?!
"Well eve since our fight...she's been trying to get revenge."
"Sabrina is just a little ho-bag who doesn't realize what she's getting herself into. Just ignore it. If your boyfriend is worth having, he'll stay away."
"Thanks Jake..." Neither of us really knew what to said after that, so we watched TV, then fell asleep.

The next day went without excitement. Well at least until after school, when I found a rose taped to my locker. I found a note on this one too, it said,

"UNFOLD!!!
Love Always,
Your Admirer"

'Kristen, what do you think this means?"
"Unfold the roses! Jez, You're such a dittz!" I was about to follow her advice, but then I noticed our rather short and ho-bagy "friend" Sarina with Kristen's boyfriend, Alex. I looked back at Kristen and noticed she was on the brink of tears. So I set aside my issues for a moment.
"I'll be right back Kristen, I have some business to take care of."
I walked over to Alex, grabbed his sleeve and dragged him away. Saying "Gotta borrow him. You should go, don't you have another toy to go play with?" So I kept dragging him away. Then said to him "Alex why are you flirting with Sabrina?"
"She was flirting?"
"You're such a boy! Don't even know when a girl's flirting. Well just know. That Sabrina's just trying to get revenge on Kristen, and you don't even see what a ho she is. Sabrina is all b***s and no brain! You're just lucky Kristen doesn't break up with you. I know I would." And with that I walked away.Kristen's mood was very much improved, and we both forgot about the rose I got today. I didn't remember until I got home. Then I realized it. I should open the roses!!

I opened the Pink one first, the inside read

"One back and one to the right"

What could that mean? I thought to myself. WAIT!! That was where Matt sat in math... one seat back and two seats to the right. Crap... I guess it's him. But I couldn't be totally sure...I guess that could mean anything...right? So I opened the second rose, the red one. But there was nothing inside. Then I remembered..."Roses that are red should be under a bed". So I did that...and it was glowing! IT WAS GLOW-IN-THE-DARK INK!!! So I read it,

"I'm not a patient person...IT'S MATT YOU DUMMY!!
love you :)"

Wow...I guess I had my answer. But I still had to open the newest one. So I did. It read,

"Meet me by an insect tomorrow"

(I'll continue the rest later)
