My first love letter!

Disclaimer! Read it at your own risk. Anyway, just kidding but it is true and I hope you will not be the person who will be disappointed after reading this because someone has to be.
The one thing i have come to learn about life is that, there always is a first time for everything. It was my time to receive my first love letter and i know right now you almost skipping this line in order to find out when this happened, shock! shock!...I won't tell you. A hint though, i was in high school and yes, in my second year.
In my high school, letters sent to students were read out every day at supper time and this specific one came on a Friday evening and it is specific reason being I was used to my mother's letters like twice in a month but the handwriting a top this one was nothing like my mothers'. Definitely it wasn't my dad's, not because I did not have a good relationship with my dad, actually I was what you can call "daddy's little girl", but because my dad wanted to be the receiver of the letter which really did not happen,( I was not competing with my dad). Most of the time, dad always came to mind when am broke, or when visiting day is around the corner, or when am sick and i have to go home. Do not judge or misunderstand me, i love my father so much, and thanks to technology now days a day or two does not go by without speaking to him.
The letter at hand was from a totally different person, someone I wasn't familiar with and so I decided it can wait till after supper, after all it was on a Friday, so what better way to pass prep-time than to read an anonymous letter. Immediately after supper, i headed to class and filled with curiosity, I opened the letter and of course the first thing to check is the sign out name, I couldn't identify it but the school it came from was familiar, this was a person who definitely knew me and he had the courage to write to me. Again, don't jump into conclusions in spite the fact that your conclusions might actually be right, o.k, you may be right. I am the kind of girl who has this "i know what i want in life" face and an attitude which I can say has been on top, so no entertaining "crap". What was all that about anyway?! No regrets though because they really worked out for me and am proud of it.
That already tells you what was in that letter, a love story, one filled with nouns, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, very good use of the stylistic devices, a good command of grammar, well structured sentences, in short, it was a well composed letter all directed to one girl who was apparently supposed to be swept off her feet but sadly, the reverse is what happened. My feet stood their ground more than ever, and don't think otherwise, I have feelings, a soft heart for that case.
The truth of the matter is, that letter didn't even spend five minutes in my palms, it ended up being soaked in a bucket of water in the next few seconds. Ouch! I also don't like what i did but that is life, I have never told him this, but i guess now he'll know.No hard feelings at all, just being a girl
