Anonymous Junior High School Student January/February 2026 Dear Ian, So, I don’t even really know how to say this, but your mullet-ish haircut and the way you just do your own thing is kind of spunky. Like seriously, you’re weird in a way that’s fun to watch and makes people notice you. You’ve got this energy that’s hard to explain but it’s kind of impossible not to enjoy. I don’t get everything about you and honestly I probably never will but that’s what makes it fun. You’re

However, after reading this piece, I made the decision as Editor-in-Chief to leave it exactly as it was written.

Anonymous Junior High School Student January/February 2026 Dear Rylan, So you’re really freaking cool and I’ve tried to ignore it and trust me, I’ve really tried. My friends have tried to get me to stop too with how much I talk about you and how I think your cute and what not. Like every time you’re joking around I can’t help but smile. You can be a bit ridiculous at times but I enjoy your silliness nonetheless. Also, how in God's name can someone run that fast (and enjoy it?

Junior Anonymous High School Student January/February 2026 Dear Sawyer, So I’ve never really done anything like this before and I don’t even know if this makes sense but I wanted to try.

Anonymous Junior High School Student January/February 2026 H Hani Hannah, I don’t know how to say this without my heart showing, but the truth is I could never take my eyes off you. Not then, not now. There was something about the way you existed in a room that pulled me in completely, like everything else softened when you were near. Lately I’ve been thinking about last year—about what we had, how natural it felt, how right it was in ways I didn’t fully understand at the tim

Anonymous Senior High School Student January/February 2026 Darby, Well hello there fine shyt! I know you’d never go out with a silly little guy like me but I thought I’d ask anyway. You're the light in my world. Are you the huzz? Can I get your number, beautiful? As that one junior in your grade once said “I like to use my hands feels more personal” and “I’m only like 6’2” so “common” baby and be my valentine?

Anonymous Junior High School Student January/February 2026 Darby, I don’t know if you fully understand how insanely magnetic you are, so I’m taking it upon myself to remind you. When you enter a room of sorts, the air shifts like, “oh snap, there you are” kind of energy. You don’t even try, which honestly makes it totally unfair. You have this way of being both comforting and exciting at the same time, and I swear that should be studied (I’m not calling you mentally unstable

Anonymous Junior High School Student January/February 2026 To Chloe, I genuinely believe that we are soulmates. Life could never be as fun as it is without you. You’re a certified diva, an absolute icon, and still the most loyal person ever. Our friendship is one of my favorite things, and I wouldn’t trade the jokes, the chaos, or the mutual eye contact during the “it’s INCREDIBLE” moments for anything. Love you big time. Never change, legend.

Anonymous Junior High School Student January/February 2026 Dear Marissa, I’ve loved you since the day we met. I know you’d never be with a guy like me… I’m never noticed… unless it was you. Your boyfriend could never treat a goddess like you right.. and it’s a shame I can only love you from afar. Nice guys never get picked… heh… should’ve known. I know he could never jam to Laufey with you the way I could… or get matching matcha at Starbucks…. I know you… the REAL you… maybe
