The Shy Girl ✔

Chapter 21 - The Anonymous

Who will write this? I started smiling as I closed my locker.

It was currently 1 p.m. and I had no idea what to do. Should I go? I was already dressed. What if it was just a joke? What if it's a serial killer?!

I told Skylar about the envelope and she told me to go because it could be something amazing waiting for me there. She isn't the one that has to go but if I were in her place I would have said the same thing.

I looked at the clock to see that it was 01:30 p.m. Well, it's now or never. Suddenly I realized that the note did not say which lake.

I lived in Florida so there are a lot of lakes here. Just as I was about to change my mind about going someone knocked on my door.

I opened my bedroom door and mom was holding something in her hand. Another envelope.

"Somebody left this for you." She said while smiling.

I took the envelope and she just left. She didn't even let me thank her. Weird.

I opened the envelope.

'Shame on me,
I forgot to tell you what lake we'll see.
Sorry for forgetting,
The lake's name is Isabella .

- Anonymous '

That's the lake were I used to go with Skylar when we were little. The view there is amazing.

I was already dressed so I might as well go.

It can't be that bad, right ?

Adam's POV

Ok, breath, you can do this.

I am pretty nervous because this is the first time that I'm doing this.

Today I'm going to invite Emma to the winter formal.

A lot of people helped me with this. My mom made the food for the picnic, my sister helped me choose a song, Skylar helped me choose a place and when I forgot to mention the lake on the first envelope Emma's mom helped me give her another envelope with the location without her knowing that it was me who gave her the envelope. It was pretty hard to rent the place for a few hours just so that I could have a little privacy with her.

I got my guitar and looked at the clock, it was 2 p.m. and there was no sign of anyone coming. I sighed but I knew that she would come.

Emma's POV

It was 02:20 p.m. . Yes, I was late because I had to ask Skylar to drive me and she got to my place at 02:05 p.m. so it's not entirely my fault. Skylar didn't talk all the way to the lake, she was just smiling and nodding at everything I said.

I got out of her car and started heading to the lake.

When I saw who was near the lake I gasped. It was Adam. He had a guitar in his hands and he was sitting down on a blanket with a basket.

I got near him and when he saw me he had a big smile on his face.

He held his guitar and he started singing.

'Shy Shy Girl (Shy Girl)
Yeah, Yeah (Yeah, Yeah)
Ohhh (Ohhh)

Standing with the wallflowers, wishing you'd have stayed at home

You kick yourself for coming when you're standing there all alone, ohh

The centers of attention are busy making all their moves, oh girl

While all the guys are looking at them, I got my eye on you (only you)

You might think you're nothing special
You might be losing heart
But baby don't you realize
How beautiful you really are

Shy girl, it's written on your face

A mermaid out of water, Feeling out of place

Shy girl, tryna hide a blush
Caught you looking for a second
Felt my heart a rush

Don't runaway, Don't be afraid
Don't be shy girl (so beautiful)
Shy Shy Girl

I'm moving in closer, slowly tryna break the ice

But it's hard to get a lot on your downward glancing eyes, ohh yea

You might think you're nothing special
But I'm about to lose my heart

Oh baby don't you realize
How beautiful you really are

Shy girl, it's written on your face

A mermaid out of water, Feeling out of place

Shy girl, tryna hide a blush
Caught you looking for a second
Felt my heart a rush

Don't runaway, Don't be afraid
Don't be shy girl

Now I'm standing right in front of you
I confess I'm nervous too

Girl you know there's something going on
And not to give it a chance would be so wrong
Oh baby, yea

Shy girl, it's written on your face

A mermaid out of water, Feeling out of place

Shy girl, tryna hide a blush
Pretending that there's nothing between the two of us

Don't runaway, Don't be afraid
Don't be...

Shy girl, it's written on your face

A mermaid out of water, Feeling out of place

Shy girl, tryin' hide a blush
Caught you looking for a second
Felt my heart a rush

Don't runaway, Don't be afraid
Don't be shy girl

Don't be shy girl (Shy Shy Girl)
Oh baby (Shy girl)
So beautiful (Shy Shy Girl)
You make my heart beat so fast, yea yea (Shy Shy GIrl) '

I started crying.

He took my hands into his.

"Emma Mary Jefferson would you do me the honor of going to the winter formal with me?" He asked and I started blushing.

"Y- Yes." I said still crying because I was happy.
