Sincerely,

Best Friends Club

Dear Elizabeth,

Just letting you know we’ve withdrawn your name from our mailing list.

There is nothing remotely secret or mysterious about you. You’re just a dumb teenager who got some crazy ideas about herself.

As far as you are concerned, we no longer exist.

As far as we are concerned, you no longer exist.

Please destroy this letter.

Yours contemptuously,

The Secret and Mysterious Association of Secret and Mysterious People

Dear Elizabeth,

There is nothing romantic about you.

We think that a tiny part of you was actually happy that your dog had died.

Because you thought that would make Saxon Walker go all googly over you, didn’t you? You actually thought he might take you in his arms and hug you, and you thought he might cry with you, for you and for your dog and you thought he might ask you out to try and cheer you up.

And you thought he might hug you again when you went out, didn’t you, and you thought you might look beautiful with tears on your lashes and your eyes glinting, and a terrible, beautiful sadness on your face.

And you thought he would be swept away by you, and that he would kiss the tears from around your eyes, and kiss your forehead to comfort you, and hold your elbows gently, and kiss the tears on your cheeks, and then his mouth would find your mouth and kiss you over and over.

You thought all that didn’t you, and you were glad that your dog had died weren’t you?

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

We want nothing to do with you.
