"The true delight is in the finding out rather than in the knowing." -Isaac Asimov
Hey, Brielle! Rise and shine. Enjoy this day. Always smile. I'll always be looking out for you from afar. This is my number btw. Save it ;) -Your Secret Admirer ♡

"Hey, Marina. Are you okay?" my Mom asked when I sat on the breakfast table.
"Yes, Mom. I'm fine, " I assured her. A day has passed since my anxiety attack. Yes, they panicked. I haven't had anxiety attacks for a long time which is why they were shocked.
"Should we visit your therapist?" Dad asked.
I smiled at him. "I'm okay, Dad. I've always had those before so I'm used to it."
"I'm still worried." Mom sighed.
"Mom, I'll be okay, " I said. They didn't reply and instead, we finished breakfast quietly.
After eating, Dad took me to school and Mom drove Max to his school.
Dad reminded me of what I should do in case I can feel another episode coming. I told him that I'll be alright and he doesn't have to worry about a thing.
When we arrived, I quickly said goodbye to my Dad and walked out of the car. I entered the school and immediately, I saw Faith and Danica in the hallway.
"Hey, pretty ladies," I greeted them.
"Hi, Gabbie," Danica greeted.
"I have a question, " I said.
"What is it?" Faith asked.
"Is there a way we can track who's number this is?" I said, showing them the text I received this morning when I woke up.
"You have a secret admirer and you didn't even bother to tell me?!" Danica said, clutching on her chest.
I awkwardly laugh. "I forgot to tell you."
"There is a way we can track who sent this to you, " Faith said.
"How?" I asked.
"We ask Shine to check the student records, " she answered.
"That's a great idea, " I said. Shine is the Principal's student assistant. She knows where records are kept and she can access them at any time.
"The real question is if that number is the one registered on your admirer's profile, " Danica said.
"Well, we have to try, " I said.
"I agree with you on that, " Faith said. Danica was about to reply something when the bell rang.
"I'll see you later at lunch. We'll talk to Shine then, " I said and they nodded as a response.
We then waved at each other before walking to our respective rooms.

"Shine, can you do me a favor?" I asked Shine who sat on our table.
"Uhmm... Okay?" she answered.
