CHANCE

15TH APRIL

​Dear Lacey,

​I’m writing you this letter because a pinky promise is a pinky promise. Plus you made me lock it too and I’m not one to break promises, especially to my best friend. Here it goes. I got my first boner. I woke up this morning and it was there. There I said it. I have fulfilled the pinky promise law. We didn’t promise I had to go into detail so the pinky promise is complete. Possibly burn this letter after you read it so there isn’t any evidence of this conversation ever happening.

If nothing else I hope this puts a smile on your beautiful face. I miss your face and all your different smiles. I miss the dark freckle above your right eyebrow. I miss the chicken pox scar between your eyes (my mum was right about it scarring if you scratched it.) I miss your shaggy hair. Is it wrong for me to hope you still don’t brush it? Is that weird? Are you still wearing pink wherever you go?

Is it wrong for me to hope you haven’t changed much? I’m being selfish, I know but I don’t care. I don’t want to miss any part of my best friend’s life. If you’ve changed then I’ve missed something and thinking I’ve missed something important makes me upset because I don’t want to miss anything.

I’m rambling and if you were here, you’d call me out on it but the gist of it is, I really miss my best friend. I’ve missed you since the minute you drove away and every minute thereafter.

Your dad saw me being a loner by myself out in the yard one day and came out and gave me a picture of you in your school uniform. The uniform is horrendous. I feel sorry for you having to wear it every day. Question: Does it itch? It looks like it does.

Theo, yes Theodore, goes by Theo now. Apparently Theodore wasn’t cool enough for high school so he is now Theo formally known as Theodore. Well he’s gone girl crazy. You should see him flirting with all the girls. I don’t think he’s any good at it because most of them get the same look on their faces you used to have when you’d look at him. You know the look I’m talking about, where you scrunch your nose like something stinks? Yes! That look.

And no, for your information, I don’t flirt with any girls. I’m scared they might give me the same look if I even tried.

High school is a lot different to primary school, isn’t it? What’s your school like? Have you made some new friends? I hope you’re okay, Lace. I miss you terribly. I know I already said it but I wanted to drive the point home about how much I miss you.

Well you know where I live so I’m hoping you’ll write me back. I walked over and got your address from your dad so I could send you this letter.
