Time quickly flew by and it was already a new year. Little did I know that the new year would bring me face to face with a guy, whom was unfamiliar to me. I didn’t have a single clue as to who the guy in front of me was. I clearly didn’t know him yet he was holding in front of him a placard which says, “If your name is Marie Katherine Castle, I have a letter for you.” The placard alone made me anxious but I still made my way towards where he was standing. I don't want the poor guy's effort to go to waste. I heard people whispering about how long he had been standing there. He’s been waiting for almost half an hour already, based from what I heard. “Are you perhaps looking for me?”, I asked the stranger. He only nodded in response while handing over a letter. To my surprise, he ran away right after. I wanted to ask him more questions but he was too fast for me to catch. His speed made me think he was even an athlete. After seeing him flee, my friends were more than eager to know what was inside the envelope. Upon their request, I opened it whilst feeling quite anxious. We read what the letter said in silence. Before even getting to the end of the letter, both my friends squealed in excitement or happiness I think. They kept teasing me about having a secret admirer. I couldn’t believe it, they were indeed telling truth. It clearly says in the letter that, whoever this “Jay” was, he liked me. I had mixed feelings about this. I didn’t know if I should be happy that someone admired me or if I should be terrified, for “Jay” sounded a bit creepy. “I’ve been watching you for a while now and I’ve come to like you.”, were the exact words in his letter. Well, aside from that part, he was sweet and romantic. Such words did not make my heart flutter that day. It only made me skeptic since I couldn’t think of a reason as to why someone would even like me. Never in my life has someone said they liked me! 

Days have already passed yet I still couldn’t move on from what happened a few days ago. I couldn’t even make my long time crush like me back yet someone “supposedly” likes me for some reason. How I wished Marcus would confess such words to me instead. Well, I’d still be skeptical if he suddenly liked me, but it would surely be nice to hear such words from him. But as I think of this old wish, I remember the bitter past.

Now, I didn’t like Marcus as much as I did back when we were still kids. At first, I hated him, but then I hated the feeling of holding a grudge against someone. I hated the idea of hate yet even after how many years, I couldn’t get over the fact that he humiliated me in front of many people. I knew there was a huge possibility of being rejected but I didn’t expect him to humiliate me like that. I never felt the same for him ever since then. With a heavy heart, I continued on walking. As we were passing by the park one day, I received another letter. The same unfamiliar guy delivered the letter so I got curious whether the letters really came from him. Before he could run away again, I tugged at his polo and asked him the question I had in mind. He didn’t speak again and only swayed his head side to side. He quickly brought out a small notepad and wrote, “I’m only a delivery boy.”. Those were his last words before running off.

I was left wondering again who my admirer could really be. The only clue I had was a “delivery boy” whom I can’t even see his whole face or hear his voice. He continued delivering letters for the past weeks but never gave a clue who the sender really was. I constantly asked him the same question “Who made you do this?” for weeks and received the same reply, only a shrug of his shoulders. Before the end of the month came, I changed my question. I asked him “Who are you?” out of the blue. He was surprised at first but still replied using his notepad. It was my turn to be surprised. “John” was clearly written in the paper and I didn't know how to feel about it. But I still flashed him a smile after saying how nice it was of him to diligently deliver such letters to me for consecutive weeks. I then thanked him before letting him leave. I got used to seeing his back turned. An unfamiliar figure now became a familiar figure to my eyes. The funny thing was that I later realized who he really was. I realized that we’ve already met before. He was the stranger I came across a few weeks ago, a guy whom I admired for his talent.
