I always loved the thought of receiving love letters. Its because for me, I am being loved by somebody else besides my family and friends. My best boy bud, Keith, said that its not really straightforward and a show of cowardice. But I dont care; its the thought that counts. But on one ordinary day, my wish came true. It was the first day of the second week of January. Keith and I are heading to our lockers to get our books and notebooks. As I am opening my locker, a piece of something white falls down. Bending down to get it, I realize that it was no ordinary paper; it is a plain white envelope. Then before I realize, I got so excited and hug Keith from behind. Quit it! he yells as he peels my arms. Keith, what do you reckon is this? Could it be? I begin to ask but he interrupts me by his annoying sniggers. Are you blind or youre just naturally born stupid? Its obviously an envelope! Keith jeers. Sigh. I dont really know why we became this close in the first place. Keith had always

been annoying, selfish, and harsh ever since were still in kindergarten. I dont know why I have gotten him for a friend. Maybe we have some differences that attached us. Like hes a bully and I, I admit, am a cry baby. Keith is still smirking behind his locker door as I carefully open the envelope. It revealed a small piece of paper. It looks like he had it handwritten. Although it is quite short, I am still happy to see that it is really a love letter in a poem form. It read: Cathy, Your lovely eyes illuminate me, I love the way you smile sweetly, Your face is as beautiful as a blooming flower, I cant help thinking about you every hour, Youll know me sooner. . . -Wild Kitten Wild. . . Kitten? What did you say? Wild Kitten? Give me a break! Keith exclaims with a bewildered face and laughs boisterously. Good thing no one is around as he laughs like a hyena. It is still so

early in the morning and that no one has witnessed my embarrassing state. Phew. So what?! At least, he gave me this one. Oh my my dream came true! Who do you think is the giver of this, Keith? Hmmm could it be you? I tease him, just for the fun of it. Keith laugs even more then stuck his tongue out at me. Me? he asks sarcastically while pointing his index finger at his chest, The renowned Keith would give a love letter to you? No way! Your face is not like a blooming flower; its like wilting. Your brown eyes are not near to illuminating and the worst: why would I think of you EVERY hour when almost every day, I am with you? Whoever sent that crap to you Cathy, hes a coward. Hes not even straight-forward to tell you his feelings. Look, he sent you a poem instead of talking to you directly. And the worst he is a coward again. I dont see why he is so defensive. Or maybe hes jealous? Hmmm, no scratch that, its really impossible for him to get jealous. Im already used to Keiths harsh words about me but I

just cant accept that my-secret-admirer-is-acoward thing. Hes not a coward! Hes just afraid and shy! I exclaim. Afraid plus shy is equals cowardice. But he said hes going to reveal himself soon and What if hes lying? You yourself said that hes afraid and shy. So? I cant argue anymore. Hes quite right somehow. We walk to our classroom without a word. Though we usually talk and fight about random things every morning, this time we do not. I am not mad at him. I am already bored of getting mad at him. I am not speaking because for the first time; I was hit by his words. I cannot even look at him in the eye. Why are you so silent? Keith asks as he tilts his head. I dont know, I respond, finally looking at him. Ahhh he mumbles and then he suddenly laughs, Youre really dumb and stupid,

Cathy! Im so proud of you, he says, pretending to wipe his tears which are invisible. Thank you for the compliment, Keith, I say. Always and forever welcome. And thats how we ended our awkward silence. We talk and debate random things again.

Another week. Another letter. It read: Cathy, When you smile I would nearly melt When youre near me Im mesmerized My stomach is filled with butterflies I really like you, havent you realized? I like you for you; I dont even know why I do Youll know me soon -Wild Kitten Oooh another love letter from wildcoward-kitten, eh? I guess your smile killed him, Cathy. I bet hes in a coffin now, Keith says behind me after I read the letter. I narrow my eyes at him. Killed? Hes dead? Why? Because he said so there in that letter. When you would smile, you would nearly cause his liquefaction. His stomach is even filled with butterflies! What a pitiful man! I chuckle. Shut up, you idiot. Thats only a hyperbole. You know what? Im starting to like him already

WhaaAAAT?! You like him already even though he hides and keeps his identity?! I nod in response. He slams his palm onto his face mumbling oh god why?! Because he admires me too isnt that great? Hey. Whats that? I ask him, seeing a piece of envelope that falls out from one of his books. He immediately picks it up and smiles sheepishly at me. Nothing. Probably a letter from one of my fans, he says, amuse at the word fans. Hes not really lying about his fans. In fact, he has a fans club that has girls and homosexual. I just couldnt say the g word. Hes really very handsome (according to his fans) and he never had a girlfriend. Sometimes I am doubtful of his gender. Kidding. He never had a girlfriend because hes afraid that his fans might kill her. Hes also an honor student and a basketball varsity player. Who would not like that kind of person? There are so many girls out there who are jealous of me because were really close. Were friends since kindergarten. And the reason why we became friends? Well, back in my kindergarten days, we were having our art class. While I was coloring my butterfly, someone suddenly

tugged one of my pigtails and I shouted because it was tugged abruptly and painfully. I turned around to see who it was and saw that it was a boy with a mischievous smile. Mischievous but cute. What do you want?! I asked angrily. The boy grinned and said, Hi Im Keith and I want to give you something. Uh, hello I am Cathy. Are you really going to give me something? He nodded and I squealed and clapped my hands in delight. Here! he said as he gave me a brown stick. Whats this? It looks like a brown crayon! Nah, its a chocolate! Just crayon in shape. Thank you! I really like chocolates! Always and forever welcome Before I took a bite, I licked it first. It tastes weird. I heard him chuckle and then it hit me EEEEEW!! YUUUUUCKS! AGGGGHHHHHRR! I shouted as I hit the chocolate at him. It was not really a chocolate but a crayon! I almost poisoned myself no, he almost poisoned me. Crayons are toxic! What if I actually ate it?

WOOOOH! I GOTCHA! he exclaimed while laughing his signature hyena laugh. And from that time on, we started to be close friends. Sigh. February came in so quick and it has been one week that I did not receive letters from Wild Kitten. Did he give up on me already? I hope not. I hope he reveals himself on February 14. Wouldnt that be romantic?! Sad, sulky and sullen because hes not giving you letters? Keith asks while we are getting out stuff from our lockers. Shut up. Oooooh cuh-ree-pyyy Maybe hes writing a VERY long letter for me! I wish hell be revealing himself this Valentines! And that hell be giving me chocolates Keith laughs when I say the word chocolates; he just cant forget that crayon incident back in our kindergarten days. and all the things I want! I exclaim. Well youre treating him like a convenience store that is open 24/7. And you are acting like a gold digger. Hey, what If hell not give

you that stuff you want? Keith asks with a surprisingly serious face. I I I dont know. Why do you ask? Oh, nothing. Just having a survey. You see, Im going to court to a girl I loved since forever and I want to know how a girl would react if shes not given such gifts. Oh I see, I say. I noticed my voice seems sadder than before. And guess what? uh, what? Im going to court her this Valentines day. Wouldnt that be romantic?! he exclaims. I did not reply. Honestly, even though I liked that Wild Kitten, whoever he or even a she is, theres someone in my heart that has kept my heart beating since forever. Who is he? Well, hes always with me. My closest friend as well as my best enemy Keith. I nod and get my stuff from my locker. After closing the locker door, I fake a cheery smile and ask with a gleeful smile: Who is that lucky as well as unlucky girl?! Huh? Huh? Since when are you keeping things from me you moron? Unlucky because a lot of fans will go and grab her by

her hair and make her suffer. His smile wavers and he frowns. Well you know her so well, but I wont tell you because alright. Im changing my mind. I wont court her. Okay I just feel relief and I want to go straight to the girl and say in your face! But thats stupid because I dont even know her. But why? I ask, trying not to appear unconcerned and delighted about his decision. I guess she wont like me anyway, I mean he pauses and grabs me by my shoulders, look at me! Well in my opinion Kee-Kee, I guess shell not hesitate saying a big yes to you. I mean look at you. Youre almost perfect except that you are annoying and mischievous. Honestly, if Im in her shoes Id say yes. But in my case since I know you sooo well it might take a long time but Ill say yes in the end. Keith grins his signature mischievous smile. Why are you grinning like that? Hmmm just thought of something, he says as he releases me from his strong grip. We start walking towards our room.

Uhhh .. Dont take seriously about what I said. Its just that Ive known you for so long. Uh, does she know you very well too? Oh she just told me, he responds. I cannot understand what he said. We sit down as soon as we arrive at our classroom and I say something that stopped me from swallowing my pride. Well if you really love her, then why hesitate from confessing your feelings for her? There, I let go of it. I let go of him. Yes were young and well have longer time to meet and know new people. But theres something between us that assures me that hell never reciprocate my feelings for him. And thats friendship. Thank you for all that encouraging words, Cat-Cat. Im set. Im going to confess to her next week, February 14, Wednesday.

February 14. Wednesday. We are having a school activity. Community Love Day, that is. Its also Valentines and todays the day that Kee-Kee will be confessing and courting to that girl. I havent seen him this morning because our clubs are different and our clubs are going to do something special for the day. Hes in Basketball Club while Im in Glee Club. As I am heading to my locker to get my Glee Club Notebook, I see something sticking out from the door. Its probably Wild Kitten! Hes back! If Keiths got that girl, well I got my Wild Kitten! Keiths hard to let go but with Wild Kitten around, it will be easier to get rid of his existence in my heart. I get my notebook, close the locker door and open the letter: Cathy, Todays the day Im going to reveal me Ill grab you, just wait and see I cant hold on anymore And I guess you cant wait

Later Im going to show you whats in s tore This time I wont be afraid -Wild Kitten I blink before the contents of the letter sink into my stupid and dumb brain. Im finally going to see him! I rush immediately to the stage with my club mates for one last practice. I cannot help but look around to look out for the Wild Kitten. During the presentation, I did all my best in singing while looking around for Wild Kitten. All of the presentations are over but still no Wild Kitten show up. I walk along the walls of the Gymnasium and hear many girls screaming. I dont know what kind of scream because some screams sounded angry and jealous and some were gleeful and outrageously happy. It must be Kee-Kee, confessing his love for that girl. I wont go inside and make myself even greener with envy. I cant go in and congratulate him until Wild Kitten will show up! I really should have someone to brag about to cover up my jealousy over that girl of his.

I pass the Gym without interventions and decide that I should call that day a day and confirm that Wild Kitten is indeed a coward. I walk to a bushy path because its less crowded. I really hate crowds, Im quite claustrophobic and AAAAAH!!! I scream for my whole dear life when someone grab me by the waist and land us on one of the big bushes around the corner. Shut up! a familiar voice orders as we roll down from the big bush up to the other side of the bush which is a slope that leads to the school forest. I try to gain control of our rolling but his embrace is so tight that I almost cannot breathe. Finally the rolling stop and we find ourselves at the edge of the entrance of the school forest. I peel myself away from his grip, stand up and brush the leaves off of my skirt. What the hell were you doing you bast Keith?!
