CHAPTER 42: A Secret Admirer.

As Mae walked through the bustling hallway of J.M Memorial High, she couldn't help but notice the vibrant atmosphere of love surrounding her. The air was filled with the sweet scent of fresh flowers and the aroma of chocolates, a telltale sign that Valentine's Day was fast approaching. The students were immersed in an enchanting world of romance, exchanging gifts, love letters, and grand gestures to express their feelings for one another.

Balloons of various colors and shapes floated gracefully in the air, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. The walls were adorned with colorful decorations, and the lockers were adorned with heart-shaped stickers and confessions of love.

A freshman student, Lily, approached with a mischievous grin, holding a bouquet of red roses.

"Hey, Mae. Happy Valentine's Day week! Got these for you from your secret admirer!" said Lily, holding out the bouquet of red roses.
