Synopsis: A very short tale of a secret, unrequited love.
Author’s
Notes: This story was an entry in a
May 2003 PPMB Iron Chef contest to describe a case of unrequited love in the
Dariaverse.
This
story makes use of a free type font for the titles, for aesthetic value. The
font is Stereo Hifi, ©1997 by Cathy Davies. The
author feels this excellent font strongly resembles the font used for the Daria show and thus improves the overall
look of the tale. The font is available for downloading (again, free) at Dafont or Urbanfonts.
Acknowledgements: Thanks to WacoKid for starting the contest.

Knock,
knock, went the door. “Are you in bed yet?”
“Yes, Mother!”
“Why is the light on under your door?”
“I’m trying to sleep, Mother!”
“Are you reading?”
“Mom, I’m trying to sleep, okay? Let me
sleep, please!”
When he heard his mother walk away from
the bedroom door, he sighed in relief. He made sure the notebook in which he
had been writing was securely hidden, so neither his parents nor his sister
Tricia (when she returned from Sarah’s house tomorrow) would find it. His
secret was still safe.
And best of all, Daria Morgendorffer
would baby-sit again this coming weekend. Tad Gupty could hardly wait. He
climbed in bed, turned off the light, and lay there, looking at the dark
ceiling, wondering what it was like to kiss her. He hoped that one day he would
find out.
—she kissd him an sed i luv u an he held her an sed i luv u to darea, 4ever
