Secret Handwritten Notes and M&M’s Every Day
A shy and introverted teenager secretly leaves handwritten notes and a packet of M&M’s on the table of his crush every day.
In this dream, I am a shy, introverted teenager named Michael. Why Michael? I have no idea. My real name is not even Michael!
Anyway…
Michael is a teenage boy who leads a pretty ordinary life, living with his parents in a suburban home not far away from his high school.
Shy and introverted, Michael only has a handful of friends and prefers to be on his own playing his guitar or drawing comics. Are you bored yet? This dream has a pretty slow start. But it has a sweet ending, I promise!
Michael is too shy to talk to girls, let alone have a girlfriend. Every time a girl waves or says hi, he would blush and turn away in embarrassment.
But he has a crush on Marie, his classmate.
Because he is unable to talk to Marie in person, Michael would secretly leave handwritten notes and a small packet of M&M’s on her desk. Why M&M’s? You’ll find out soon.
These notes would usually say “Hi”, “You look nice today”, “I like your smile” or something sweet to brighten her day. He would also sign off with a ‘from, M’.
Each time she sees the notes and the chocolates, she will keep them in her bag, pretending as if they were not there. While Michael was slightly discouraged by what he saw, he persisted by continuing this trend until year-end.
It’s the year-end school party! And it’s on a boat. Don’t know why a boat…
As usual, being a shy guy, he was quiet and pretty much on his own at the party. He did not know how to strike a conversation with others, and neither would he know how to respond when someone asks him a question.
All of a sudden, Marie tapped on his shoulder. Almost spitting his drink out of shock, he took a big gulp and choked, causing him to cough while Marie is in front of him. What an utter embarrassment and way to create an impression!
Not knowing what to say, he said, “Hi, you look nice today”, while his cheeks blushed in pink. Marie asked if he was the one who has been putting the notes and M&M’s on her desk.
His eyes turned big and he started to sweat. With nowhere to turn to, Michael conceded that it was he.
Marie chuckled and smiled at Michael. She told him that it was sweet of him to do that every day, and she loved those notes and M&M’s even though she did not eat it all by herself; otherwise, she would put on weight.
She then asked Michael, “ Why the M&M’s?”
To which he replied, “Oh, erm…it…it reminded me of us — Michael and Marie — M&M’s.”
With her eyes closed, Marie leaned in about to kiss Michael and…
…then, I woke up, and my dream ended.
Sorry, it’s one of those dreams with buzzkill endings.
Have you dreamt of something similar before?
