Bad Boys

30. Bad Boys

He came home to an empty house, as he suspected. When he reached his bedroom, he noticed a piece of paper on his freshly-made bed.

Lexis, if you're reading this, I want you to come back to Biology. It's hard listening to Mrs. Handley's lectures. I need my drawing buddy back.

I'm sorry I didn't say what I wanted to say that day you told me you love me. I was scared.

And now, I'm ready to tell you. I was going to tell you face-to-face but you weren't in your room.

I'm leaving this note here to tell you, I love you, Lexis. You've shown me a side of you I always wondered about. Thank you for showing me that side of you.

Please come back because if you don't, I'll think you gave up on me.

Don't give up on me. Please.

He left the house on a mission.
