Tait O'Brien Love Letter

Anonymous Freshman

High School Student

January/February 2026

Dear Tait,

I’ve been trying to figure out how to write this without sounding embarrassing, but I don’t think that’s really possible, so I’m just going to say it. I like you. Like, a lot. I don’t know if you realize how brilliant you are, but you are. Your really light blonde hair always stands out, and your eyes are honestly kind of impossible not to look at. Especially when you’re wearing that green sweatshirt. I don’t know why, but every time I see you in it, I just think, wow. I also think it’s really cute how you’re always playing games on your phone. You look so focused, like you’re in your own little world, and it makes me want to ask what you’re playing, though I’d never actually do it. You just seem really comfortable being yourself, and I admire that more than you know. I catch myself looking for you without meaning to, and when I do see you, my whole day feels a little better. I hope this doesn’t make things weird. I don’t know how to end this, so yeah.
