The Secret Admirer

         Title: The Mysterious Note

*When Mia opened her locker on Monday morning, a small envelope slid out. Inside was a simple message: “You always make the room brighter. — From someone who admires you.” Mia looked around the hallway, but no one paid attention to her.  She was so curious who it could be.  

On Tuesday, she found a chocolate bar and another note: “Good luck on your math test today!”

Curious, Mia began looking for clues. She noticed that only a few people knew about her math test. Could it be Daniel from her class, who always borrowed her notes? Or maybe Sara, her best friend, who loved playing jokes?

Finally, on Friday, she found one more envelope. This time, it said: “Meet me in the library after school.”

Mia took a deep breath and walked to the library.  She was a little nervous. Sitting at a table was… Daniel, holding a flower and smiling nervously.

           Daniel explained why he stayed anonymous. “I didn’t know how to tell you I liked you,” he said.             “I thought writing notes would be a nice gesture. When you smiled on Wednesday after reading             the chocolate note, I felt brave enough to leave the last message.” 

            Mia laughed and thanked him for the compliments. “Next time,” she said, “you can just talk to                 me.” 

Comprehension Questions

  1. What was inside the first envelope?

  2. Why did Mia suspect Daniel?

  3. Who turned out to be the secret admirer?

  4. How do you think Mia felt at the end?
