It was just another night, just another day for me. I was really upset. Once again, I was shot down.

My friends weren't sympathetic. After all, they wanted the guys I was after for themselves. I just wanted someone to love.

"If it's so hard, someone shoot me now." I said, looking up to the sky. It was nearly midnight in Barton. I didn't have anywhere to go. I had donated much of my gold to friends and had spent the last bit on a present for the guy I would date.

Sadly, I'm a joke. A literal joke.

I got up and brushed the back of my dress off. Why I wore the dress, I never figured that out. Maybe it was just to impress Liam.

Well, I was over him now. I swore to myself I would never fall in love again. After so many rejections, how could I face anyone?

I was hurting inside, but I wouldn't tell anyone. I was too hurt to tell anyone about my rejection.

After about a few minutes of wandering around Barton, I heard a voice. Faint, but I definitely heard something.

"What are you doing out here? It's past midnight."

I turned around, recognizing Ian's voice. I visited his shop often, and helped out every once in a while.

"Just thinking. I couldn't sleep." I said, looking away.

"You shouldn't be out here so late. Here, let me walk you home." Ian offered.

"No thanks. I don't want to go home."

Ian sighed. "Rinko, what is this about?"

"Idiot men."

I heard a familiar laugh and looked down. "Rufus, that wasn't funny." I scolded, but picked him up anyways.

"So, are you coming to help out again tomorrow?" Ian asked. I had helped out every day this week.

"Yeah, sure. I'll come help."

"But you can't if you don't sleep."

(cont. This part takes place on valentine's)

"Welcome!"

It was just another day at the boutique for me. I was pretty happy hanging out around here.

"It's not enough..." Ian said. "Not that many customers today. They're all over at Agatha's, from what I hear."

"Ian, no need to get down. People just don't wanna shop today." I said.

Ian sighed. "Still, it's not enough.." He took off his hat and sighed again. "Rinko, why don't you take today off? Maybe you have a date or something."

The cup I was holding fell to the floor. "A DATE? Me..? Oh, Ian, you are joking. Last time I had a date was when I was in fifth grade, and we broke up before we even began dating!" I said. "I'm not that popular."

I was a social outcast, a misfit. I knew that, but I couldn't help feeling a bit sorry for Ian. He was such a nice guy. I took out the valentine's card I had planned to give Liam today before he rejected me and looked at it. It was a good thing I didn't write in it yet.

"Ian, do you have a pen?"

"Yeah.. Here." He gave me the pen I asked for. I smiled and took the pen, walking over to the window and writing in it.

You're a bit shy and I know it.
We're the same, you and I.
Maybe we can meet under the stars at eleven tonight.
I hope to see you then.

From,
Your secret admirer

I smiled and closed the card.

"I found this at the window. Maybe someone left it there." I slipped the card over to Ian. "It's probably for you." I was still smiling. I was happy.

I couldn't wait for tonight to come.
