As I head to class I read the second clue. "Where you actually noticed me." Notice her? What does that mean? I've always noticed her but never thought about her romantically or even talked to her before she pulled my hair that day in class. Oh that's it! Where she pulled my hair. Good thing I have AP Chem right now.

I reach AP Chem and reach my hand under my desk. I feel some sort of paper so I pull it off. It reads "Go to Mrs. Springer and ask for a stuffed zebra." I'm sorta confused if she meant a real stuffed zebra or was it code but before the final bell rang I walked up to her desk and asked for it. Before I can open it Mrs. Springer calls me and Skylar names. We both snap our heads up towards her while everyone snaps their heads towards us. "Skylar and Brittany you guys have an early dismissal. Have a great rest of your day! Also happy birthday Brittany!" She shouts while me and Skylar walk out the classroom. We put our things in our locker and I grab my jar from Casey. We reach the principals office and he says " Happy Birthday Brittany! Here is clue number three." He hands me a paper and I read it out loud. "Where we had our first date+dance." "But we never even danced or had our first date together yet-." I sit down in a chair while the principal gets back to work on his laptop. "Oh I got it! The skating rink except I didn't know it was a date but trust and believe she was dancing while I was falling flat on my face." I say. "Well come on let's go get your lover girl. Skylar says as she lifts me up off the chair. We hop in my car and we drive to the skating rink.

We reach the skating rink and I'm kinda scared to get out. What if this was all some big prank? But would Skylar do that to me though? What if Skylar and Casey liked each other this whole time and are waiting to humiliate me in front of everyone before getting together? That would be bad real bad. I would lose my girlfriend and best friend all in one day. And that day would be my birthday. So as I get older I'm going to hate my birthday. "Brittany stop overthinking it'll be fine I promise." Skylar says. I look at her and nod while stepping out the car.

We reach the door and Skylar pulls it open. We both step inside and see the food bar right away. A worker steps in front of us and hands me a slip of paper before skating off. I read it out loud but only loud enough for me and Skylar to hear. "Where you found out my deepest secret." I look at Skylar and she just shrugs. She wouldn't send me all the way here just to send me back home again so what have she told me when we were here? "Do you know what it means?" Skylar asks me. I nod my head yes because I now remember. The place where she admitted that she stalked me. I walk through the tables that were deserted so I guess the place got rented out. I turn a corner and see Casey standing there with a bouquet of daisies which happen to be my favorite, two tubs full of candy, and two slushees. I ran over to Casey and jump into her arms. "Casey!" I yell. "Hey princess I missed you too. Happy birthday Brittany! I got you your favorite flowers." I take them and give them a sniff. They smell so good and look so pretty. Casey hugs me from behind and whispers "Wanna go skate?" I laugh and respond with "Casey I'm not going out there it's wayyy to cold and I'm gonna fall again." I pout hoping she will let me slide because it's my birthday. "Well then princess you can wear the hoodie I got for you for your birthday and stay very close so you don't fall." She says smiling. I pull her off of me and jump up and down. "You got me a hoodie?! Where is it!? Where is it?!." I say sounding like a child on Christmas Day. "Here you go bubs hopefully you like it." Casey says looking down at the ground. I quickly grab it from her and examine myself in it. "Casey I love it! Thank you! Bonus points because it smells just like you." I say while jumping into her arms again. She smiles and kisses me on the forehead then lips. "Can we go skate now princess?" She asks me. I nod my head yes but stop her. "Wait I never got the chance to look at the photo book you gave me." I pout. "Bubs it's okay we can look at it together later ok?" She responds. I nod my head as we go get my skates.

"Casey I'm going to fall helppppp!" I screech as I'm falling onto the floor. "Sorry princess but the only falling your doing is for me." Casey laughs as she stops me from face planting. "Ok yeah I'm done with this for one night. Can't we just go home and watch some movies while eating junk food all night?" I plead but she just shakes her head no. I sigh and head back to the table to eat some candy. Casey stays in the rink while I watch her skate. From time to time I record her and most of the time I got it on tape when she fell. I sip my slushee but then realize it's empty so I head over to the snack bar to get a refill. "How's it going birthday girl?" The cashier asks. It's the same one from when me and Casey first came here together. I learned that her name was Jessica and she was a very funny person. "It's going well thanks. Oh uhh can I get a refill of blue raspberry please." I say smiling. She nods her head yes and heads over to get my refill. I had the photo book already in my hand because I wanted to look at it. I open the book and see the picture that Casey took of me when I was on my roof before school started. Jessica hands me my refill and I pay while thanking her. "Do you mind if I stay here a while my ankles are killing me. My feet needs to rest." I ask Jessica because it's true they were killing me. She nods her head yes and I make myself comfortable on the counter and start to look through the book.
