the nicest thing in my desk

Now, I know that elementary school teachers are used to getting tiny little Valentine’s Day cards from the chubby little hands of their cute little students, but answer me this. Can you think of anything sweeter than finding a handwritten, basketball-themed valentine with a chocolate heart taped to the front, discreetly placed inside your top desk drawer by an extraordinarily quiet fifteen-year-old boy who would be positively mortified if anyone would have seen him giving it to his English teacher?

Because I can’t.
