Empire High School - Season 1 - Episode 101

I watched him for seconds before settling
down beside him.

“I wrote 30 notes to you” he said
30 notes?! I didn’t count them.
“The one I sent this morning makes it the
30th. And you threw 27 notes in the bins”
I looked at him
Oh! He kenw I had been throwing his notes
away!

Suddenly, feeling of guilt washed over me.
But how did he know?!
“I’m always around anytime you find the
note on your locker”
“Really?!”
I shot him a wide eye
He nodded
“But you never noticed me”
“I didn’t suspect my secret admirer to be
watching me” I said
Lawal reached for his schoolbag on another
chair.

“I have all the notes here”
“You didn’t write them yourself right?”
“My younger brother wrote each note for
me but I gave him the words”
He brought out a filebag, all the notes I’ve
read were in it.
“I picked each note after you dropped
them in the bin. I know it would be the
evidence to prove that I’m your secret
admirer”
Wow!

“Yo..Yo..You -”
I locked my lips as the words struck in my
throat.
What was I trying to say?

You are my Secret Admirer!
Before I could do anything again, Lawal did
something that threw me off completely.
He held my hands.

“I didn’t come to you straight for some
reasons..Which you maybe aware of Elena”
He gave me a lazy smile as he held on to
my hand tightly.

Sparks of happiness erupted from his
simple touch. Butterflies formed in my
belly. I gasped a little, somehow liking how
his touch made me feel.
“What..reasons?” I managed to say
“Well..Elena it wouldn’t take a Genius to
know that you are attractive Joseph”
Oh! So he knew too!
Maybe everyone knows except Joseph!
“No..not anymore. I’m getting over it”
I shook my head

“And I was scared you would reject me if I
come straight to you”
Something flashed my mind
“Wait, Lawal -” I stopped
Remembering the day Lawal joined our
team.

“You said you are in love with who loves
another girl, perhaps..Were you talking
about -”

“It was you” he interrupted me
OMG! I didn’t even think about it before
now! No wonder he had agreed to the
matchmaking easily!
“You kept me waiting for so long” I
muttered without looking at him.
Did I just say that?!

“I’m very sorry. I only wanted to be sure if
you wouldn’t yell at me if I walked up to
you. I felt bad when you cried that day”
Yeah! Lawal was there the day I cried for
My Secret Admirer! But he didn’t say a
word.
“Somehow I convinced myself and built up
my courage to come out clean. I’m sorry
for putting you through such stress Elena”
Lawal said
It was like a torture!

“D--n! I was so happy when you didn’t
throw away the note I sent on Monday” he
smiled at me.
“Actually I wanted to throw it away”
“Yeah, you were close to the bin..”
“You were watching me?”
He nodded
I didn’t even see anyone close by that day.
“At some point, did you suspect me?”
I shook my head
Kate suspected the Secret Admirer to be
Lawal while Temi chose Cullen.

“When? Is it the day I had a discussion with
your team?”

“No”
“So..When?”
“When you were harsh on Cullen..”
“I’m sorry for ignoring you that day”
Oh! Yeah! I wasn’t happy Lawal didn’t give
me a response.

“I was Jealous” He said
What?! Jealous of what?!
“You were alone with him and he was
holding you. I didn’t like that” he said
seriously
I stared at him flustered by his words.
