//------------------------------// // The Secret Admirer // Story: Crystal Prep Cuties // by Wildcard25 //------------------------------// At Crystal Prep Academy on Tuesday morning, Spike and Coco had just finished their first period and were walking through the halls. "Man that lecture was putting me to dreamsville." Spike told Coco. "I admit, I was drowning out for the most of it." Coco admitted. The two chuckled, as Spike stopped at his locker, "I'll see you soon, Coco." "Later, Spike." Coco continued onto her next class. Spike opened up his locker to grab a book, when to his surprise he saw a small envelope at the bottom of his locker. "Huh? What's this?" he picked the envelope up and saw his name written on it with a heart dotting the 'I', 'A love letter?' he thought in surprise before looking around seeing too many people were in the hall. He grabbed one of his books, closed his locker, and ran into the nearest men's room. When he saw no one was in there with him, he knew it was the best chance to read the note in privacy. He carefully opened the letter and looked at the note inside. He read it in his thoughts, 'Spike Drake, lately you've been on my mind for awhile and I would very much love to get to know you better. Meet me after school in Music room 3B. Come alone. XOXO your secret admirer.' Spike spoke up sounding shocked, "I have a secret admirer? Who could it be?" he thought of the many girls in school, but none of them outside his friends looked like they'd be interested in him, "I better hold onto this." he pocketed the letter, and hurried off to his next class. Later that day, Spike had met up with Fancypants and Trend behind a flight of stairs leading up to the next level of the school. He had just finished telling his two buds about the love letter, which made the two very excited for their freshman friend. "Well, Spike. I have to say this is a happy moment for you." Trend nudged his shoulder. "Yeah, I guess so. I'm just wondering who would send me it?" Spike asked, as he looked at Fancy using his new monocle to inspect the writing closely. "Well, I'm sorry to say this, but I can't seem to recognize this handwriting." he said in guilt. "So I'm on my own?" Spike asked in disbelief. "Afraid so. But on the upside, this'll make the surprise all the more exciting." Fancy lightened the mood. "And what if it's all a trap? What if this note is just some prank to humiliate me?" Spike began doubting the note. "Highly unlikely." Fancy replied. "We don't do such juvenile pranks such as that here at Crystal Prep. It's just not our thing." Trend explained. "Well, if it's coming from you guys I'll take your word for it." "So how do you feel?" Trend asked. "All honesty? I'm sick to my stomach. I've never had a secret admirer before." Spike answered. "Would you like us to accompany you after school?" Fancy offered. "No thanks. If this secret admirer of mine wants me to come alone, then I must oblige by their request." Fancy smiled, "Well said, Spike." "Still, you have until the end of the day to meet this admirer." Trend noted. "I know. I'll have to make sure not to give any girl here a look that could give them the hint I might know." Spike feared. "Just remember to keep your head up high and have courage." Fancy encouraged him. "Thanks, guys." Spike smiled, as the three fist bumped. During lunch period, Spike was sitting with his girl friends watching them eat and gossip away. As he observed them doing their own things like Lemon rocking to her beats, Twilight going over notes with Sugarcoat, Sour Sweet and Sunny gossiping, and Indigo checking some status on her phone. 'Could it have been one of them?' Spike thought curiously, 'No. It can't be. I know their handwriting and none of them write this neatly. Well, I certainly can't tell these girls about my secret admirer otherwise they'd try to follow me. Keeping secrets isn't an easy feat when they're involved.' As Spike was so deep in thought, he didn't realize Sugarcoat spotted him staring oddly at them, "And what, Spike, are you staring at?" she asked breaking him out of his thoughts. "Huh? What? Staring? I-I wasn't staring." Spike stammered. "Your tone says otherwise, Spike." Sugarcoat called it. "Is something wrong, Spike?" Twilight asked in concern. "Yeah. What'd be buggin', dude?" Lemon asked. "Nothing's buggin'. Just got a lot on my mind is all." Spike answered trying to keep it casual. "If it's about the lecture Professor Flintheart gave, then I can't blame ya," Indigo replied, "While I get we're all gonna have to find ways to make a contribution to the world. He makes it like we won't have time for hobbies or stuff we love." "Yeah that." Spike agreed using it for a cover. "So Spike, we were planning on hitting up some ice cream after school today," Sunny began, "Care to join us?" "Yes, it would be so good if you came." Sour gave him puppy dog eyes. Spike looked at Sour Sweet's eyes, but kept it together, 'Must resist,' he spoke up, "Sorry, but I promised Coco I'd check out some designer outfits she just made. Sorry, girls." The girls looked disappointed, while Sour Sweet crushed her juice box, "Sorry, girls, but a promise is a promise." "He's right." Twilight agreed, which still didn't make the other five any better." "Don't worry, girls. There's still next time." Spike said, before the bell rang indicating lunch period was over, "Well, back to class. He took off leaving the girls who were still dismal at their shot down. When school was let out, Spike had walked through the hall on his way to the music room, before stopping and heard the sound of a violin being played beautifully. "Wow. That sounds neat. Then she must be in there," he reached the open the door but pulled his hand back, "Do I really do this? I'm about to risk my dignity over a secret admirer that for all I know may be a prank? Even if Trend and Fancy say the students here aren't that juvenile I still worry. No I can't get cold feet now that I'm this close." He went to the doorknob again, but froze, "Maybe I should knock first?" he wondered, "No. If I knock I might startle her. Besides I don't want to interrupt that beautiful melody." so he slowly creaked the door opened and peeked his eye inside seeing nothing so far, until he spotted someone facing away while sitting on a chair playing the violin. He squinted his eyes seeing the color of her long hair was light magenta gray with heliotrope white streaks, 'That hair color looks familiar.' Suddenly the girl playing the violin stopped, much to his surprise. She stood up with Spike watching as his heart pounded in anticipation. "Please come in." she said without looking back. 'How'd she know I would come?' he thought before, taking a chance and stepped inside the room before closing the door. "Uh, hi. I take it you're the one that sent me this letter?" Spike asked, as he held the letter in his hand. "I did," she turned around to reveal a beautiful girl with eyes colored pale, light grayish violet with matching eyeshadow. In her hair she wore a hair clip in the symbol of a large gold fleur de lis. From height wise Spike could tell the girl was a senior, "I'm glad you accepted my letter, Spike Drake." she smiled at him. Spike looked in awe at the beauty before him, and with a slight glance down saw the girl's rather impressive bust. It looked bigger than both Twilight's and Sugarcoat's, possibly an E-Cup or maybe even F. Quickly realizing where his eyes and thoughts lay, he moved his eyes above the chest line and looked at the girl's face until he suddenly recognized her. "You're Fleur. Fleur De Lis." he gasped. Fleur smiled, "That's right. I'm glad you know my name." "Well, how can I not? Next to my friends the Crystal Prep Cuties as they're called, you're the most beautiful girl in school among the seniors." "I do have a reputation." she chuckled. "Well, forgive me for being so confused. But why would the most beautiful girl in school ask me to meet her here?" Spike wondered. "Exactly what I wrote in my letter. You've been on my mind for quite some time now." "Me? Why me?" "Well for one thing you have been hanging out with the Cuties," she reminded him, "And Fancy has gone on about how you've been one of the greatest friends he could've made since this semester began." "Wait, Fancypants? He told you about me?" Spike asked in shock, before thinking, 'Fancy, you goon! You did know!' "Yes. First day he said you were quite the amusing boy. And since then he's said nothing but great things about you. So I decided to keep watch over you during school from the halls. And now I've decided I want to get to know you more." she walked up to him with his face coming up to her rack. "But I thought you were with Fancypants. I mean you're seen with him so much." Spike noted. "He and I are just friends. Nothing more." "Really?" "Uh-huh." she nodded. "Well, I'm flattered you want to get to know me. It's just I've never had a secret admirer." he said. Fleur smiled and put an arm around him, "Come and sit with me." she walked him to a table in the room and pulled out a bag. "I have some extra lunch we could share together." she offered. "Wow, thanks." "You're welcome." "So you play violin?" Spike began. "That's right. I've been practicing for five years." "Well, let me say you've definitely got the talent." "Thank you." Fleur replied, "So what about you. Have you any talent?" "I do hip-hop dance." "Really?" "Yes. Although I think Principal Cinch doesn't really think that talent can benefit this school." he grumbled. "Nonsense," Fleur dismissed it, "Every talent counts for something. Even yours. Principal Cinch may be Principal, but even she doesn't know a good thing when it stares her in the face." "Nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks that about her." Spike chuckled. For awhile Spike and Fleur spent the time getting to know each other better. And Spike himself was amazed that much like Fancypants or Trend, Fleur was nothing like the stereotypical domineering senior snobs in most high school dramas. Especially the Queen Bee types that make every other student bow and worship them like they rule the school. As it got late, all clubs were packing it in and the members were returning home. Spike and Fleur knew they'd have to get going before the school building would be locked. "You know, Fleur. I really did have a good time getting to know you." Spike said. "Same to you. You truly are an amazing boy. Some of the students here can't see that." Fleur noted. "Don't I know it," Spike chuckled, until he saw Fleur move her face close to his their foreheads were touching, "Uh, Fleur." "I'm so glad we got to get to know each other, Spike. Now that I know more about you, I can honestly say my feelings for you are stronger than ever. That's why..." she closed her eyes and puckered up. Spike who was too entranced by her allowed himself to receive a passionate kiss to his lips from Fleur, 'This is... wow.' he thought. When the two broke, Fleur noticed the blush on Spike's face as he put his two fingers to his lips, "Don't tell me that was your first kiss?" "Yes... Well, on the lips at least." he admitted. Fleur giggled, "That makes me so happy." "It does?" Spike raised a brow. "Yes. It means I did something not even your friends the Cuties did. They must be trying to wait for the right moment." "Maybe." Spike said, not feeling sure. Spike suddenly found Fleur wrapping her hands on Spike's head and made him lay down into her enormous soft bosom. "Um, Fleur." Spike said, as he enjoyed the softness of her rack. "My darling, Spike. If you ever want to talk to me about anything I'd be more than happy to listen." she whispered softly while stroking his hair. "Sure. No problem," he answered, before getting comfortable, 'Man, this must be what it feels like to lie on a big marshmallow. I don't think I'll ever get up.' he thought, as his eyes were slowly closing. "WHAT'S THIS?!" shouted a voice. Spike's eyes flung opened and looked in the direction of the rooms entrance. He and Fleur saw standing in the open door frame were the Crystal Prep Cuties. Twilight had a hand to her mouth in surprise, Sunny and Indigo had agape jaws, Lemon's eyes were wide in shock, Sugarcoat bore a look of disbelief with a twitchy eye to go with it, and Sour had her fists clenched, her teeth were grinding, and her eyes had daggers aimed in their direction. Spike's eyes widened, as he screamed mentally, "Girls, what're you doing here?!" "We talked with Coco, and you never made a promise to her." Sugarcoat said in disappointment. "You lied? Cold, bro." Lemon said with a shake of her head. "Spike, what is going on in here?" Sunny asked in shock. "It's not what you think!" he called in defense. "Hi there, girls." Fleur greeted them casually. "What do you think you're doing to Spike?" Indigo demanded. "I was just taking this time to get to know him better." she answered, still keeping his head to her breasts. "Get to know him better?" Lemon asked not liking the sound of that. "Girls, we don't stand a chance against Fleur. She's got looks and is older." Twilight feared. "Don't be discouraged, Twilight." Sugarcoat told her. "Yeah. We can handle her." Indigo smirked. Sour finally snapped, "Take Spike's head away from those saggy melons you skank!" Fleur suddenly frowned, "Saggy? Now don't you think that's a bit rude?" she released Spike and got up. Spike watched helplessly as Fleur was walking right up to them, 'Oh, boy. Is there going to be a cat fight? If there is, then I'm in big trouble. And more trouble if someone catches this!' he thought. When Fleur stood before the six girls, Indigo and Sour looked ready to fight, while Sunny, Lemon, and Sugarcoat were ready as the second line, while Twilight knowing she didn't stand a chance stood behind them trying her best to be as tough as them. As the two sides stared each other down, Fleur suddenly broke into laughter taking the six younger girls by surprise. "Uh, what's the joke?" Lemon asked. "Oh, you girls should see the look on your faces. It's so precious." she chuckled. "Were you joshing us?" Indigo asked. "I had no intention of starting a fight with you. But I was surprised to see how jealous you got seeing me with Spike." Fleur teased. "I wasn't jealous!" Sour denied, before muttering, "Much." "So there's nothing going on between you and Spike?" Twilight inquired. "I never said that. You might say I've grown fond of Spike." she looked back at the boy who was flustered. "Fond of him?" Sugarcoat asked. "That's right. So don't be surprised if you find Spike with me," she turned back to Spike and winked at him, "See you round, cutie pie." she walked past the girls and left the room. Suddenly the six pairs of eyes fell on Spike, who became nervous again, "Spike, what exactly happened in here between you two?" Twilight asked, suddenly showing a more serious side of herself. "Well, we..." "Speak up, Spike." Indigo said. "We're all ears." Sunny added. "Don't worry, you can tell us anything," Sour began, "Before we can think of a suitable punishment." 'I'm in trouble.' Spike thought to himself. As Fleur was leaving the school building, she walked past Fancypants who was leaning against the gate, "How'd it go?" he asked. "It went better than I hoped." she answered. "Then has he?" "He did seem flattered at my advances, and held no objections. Though I can't call myself girlfriend yet. After all he still has the girls doting on him." "You know you just stirred the hornets nest when you made a move on him." Fancy warned her. "Maybe, but I can handle those six. Who knows maybe they'll accept me as part of their little Spike circle of love." she smiled with hope. "Good luck." Fancy said, as he took his leave. Fleur looked back at the school and put two of her fingers to her lips recalling her kiss with Spike, "He's got soft lips." she giggled before walking off.
