Valentiny- Stolen Heart

Nathanial enters the classroom early on Valentine’s Day.  A plate of heart shaped cookies stares at him from the teacher’s desk.

“Those cookies look good. I did miss breakfast this morning. No one will miss one cookie.” he quickly scarfs one down.  “Wow that was good,” he says sitting at his desk.

His classmates start to come in the room. Nathanial looks around at everyone and, his stomach starts to hurt. “Someone is going to know I stole a cookie,” he thinks. 

“Hi Nathanial, Happy Valentine’s Day,” Hannah says.

“Um yeah, Happy Valentine’s Day,” Nathanial replies.

“Are you okay? Your face is red.”

“Yeah, I’m fine why do you ask? I didn’t do anything wrong.”

“Guilty conscious?” She says turning around.

“She knows,” he thought. “She’ll tell the teacher.”  Sweat starts to drip down his forehead.

“Good morning class.” Teacher says.  “We’re going to pass out our Valentine’s and then we’ll do some classwork before snacks. Everyone, pull out your mailboxes we made in art class and then deliver your cards to your classmates.”

After everyone delivers their Valentines, teacher gives them a few minutes to look through their cards.

The first card Nathanial pulls out is beautiful and heart shaped. Inside it reads- “You stole my heart.”

Nathanial gasps screams, “I’m So Sorry!”
