"Wakey wakey Jeri!" a bright cheery voice woke up Jeri. She slowly opened her eyes to see Calumon on her stomach.
"Good morning to you too Calumon," she said with a smile. "Why don't you go downstairs and eat breakfast while I get ready for school."
"Okie Dokie!" The little digimon jumped off her tummy and headed for the door. He stopped at the door and said, "We're having cream puffs for breakfast!" Then he went out.
"Him and cream puffs." Jeri said with a giggle. She soon got up to get dressed.

"Hey Takato, you okay?" Henry asked his best friend by his locker.
"This whole note thing is driving me crazy!" Takato let out a sigh and opened his locker and stuck his head in. "Henry, can you do me a favor?"
"What is it?"
"Close my locker."
Henry shook his head and yanked Takato out of his locker. "Listen Takato, why don't you just try find out who Jeri's secret admirer is?"
"But how?"
"Well, Jeri got the note before lunch so I'm guessing that the guy, whoever he is, puts the note in her locker at break."
"So you're saying I should watch Jeri's locker at break."
"Yeah, but don't let the guy see you."
"Alright then, I'm going to do it!"
The two then started off to class.

Bring!!!
The break bell had just rung and Takato rushed out of class to hide near Jeri's locker. He had a perfect hiding place behind a corner. Jeri's locker was in plain sight, but no would be able to see him.
'Whoever this guy is, he's going down.' Takato heard foot steps. 'Everyone was outside for break, so it must be Jeri's secret admirer.'
The footsteps got louder. Takato peeked around the corner to see who the guy was. He couldn't tell who it was because the figure was in shadow. It was bright outside. 'A couple of more minutes and he'll be out of the shadow,' Takato thought. Takato then felt someone grab his shoulder. "Ahh!" Takato jumped and turned around to see who touched him.
"Jeri?!"
"Hi Takato, what are you doing here?"
"I uh, what are you doing here?"
"I just came from the restroom. Were you waiting for me?"
"Uh, yeah. That's what I was doing I was waiting for you." Takato put his hand behind his head letting out a nervous laugh.
Jeri smiled at him. "Okay, just let me put my book in my locker."
'The locker!' Takato looked back at Jeri's locker. Nobody was around, it was just him and Jeri. 'Dangit, he must have gotten away when he heard me yell.'
****
Takato and Jeri walked out to the break area together. Their friends waved their hands in the air to show them where they are.
"Hey you guys." Jeri said and sat next to Rika.
"Hey Jeri, hey Takato." They all said. Takato sat next to Henry.
Henry leaned towards Takato and whispered, "Did you see him?"
Takato whispered back, "I saw someone at Jeri's locker, but Jeri caught up with me before I could see who it was."
"Hey you guys, where's Kazu?" Jeri asked everyone.
"He got break detention today. Fired a spit ball right at the forehead of one of the gym teachers." Kenta answered, everyone laughed.
"So Jeri, did you get another love note from your secret admirer yet?" Nikki teased.
Jeri blushed and said, "Yeah, I did." She blushed again.
"Oh hand it over!" Mikki cried out. Jeri handed her the note. Mikki then read it out loud. "It says:
Jeri,
You are probably wondering why anyone would like you. Well, you're smart, cute, kind, funny and many more wonderful things. I would list them all, but there are just too many to list.
-Your Secret Admirer."
"Oh that is just so cute!" Nikki exclaimed. Mikki gave the note back to Jeri.
Rika leaned over to Jeri and whispered, "Did you see anyone around your locker?"
Jeri whispered back, "Yeah Takato was near my locker. Do you think it's him?"
"It must be."
Break was soon over and they all headed back to class.
"I guess you'll just have to try tomorrow." Henry said to his best friend.
"I know." Takato answered back. 'And this time I'll find who Jeri's secret admirer is.'
