The First Letters
My PenPal Is A Korean Idol....?I sighed and glared at the topics on the board and back down at the paper in front of me.
"I need this for college...." I said to myself when I lifted the pencil and began my letter.
Hello penpal,
My name is ________ _______, I was born on October 31, 1995. Some things about me are:
1. I probably won't like you.
2. I'm only doing this so I can get a scholarship.
3. I have only one real friend, Honey, which you should know inspires my craziness.
4. My home .
5. I was adopted when I was five from Japan.
6. I live in New York, The Worst Place to Live.
7. I know four languages: English, German, Japanese, and Korean.
8. I hate most people.
9. I also hate people, or any living thing, touching me.
10. My attitude, as you can see, is repulsive.
I looked at what I wrote, slightly satisfied that this person may never write back, but at least it looked like I tried writing to them. Right?
"Wow, _________, you really know how to ward people off. I'm surprised I'm still here." Honey laughed.
"Oh whatever, Honey. I'll send it with a picture of myself when I get home." I said, stuffing the letter into my bag. When I got home, I looked around for a decent picture of myself to print out and when I finally found one, I shoved it in the envelope with the letter and put it in the mailbox.
The next day at school, Honey found me hanging in my locker, looking for my Algebra textbook. "Where is it..." I muttered before a sea of swears came.
"______, I borrowed your book last week, remember?" Honey asked, tapping my shoulder. I whipped my head around to face her and her perfect blonde dyed hair.
"Oh, do you have it? We have homework that I don't understand...." I asked, slamming my locker door shut.
"Yeah here. Send your mildly threatening letter yet?" she asked.
"Yep. Chose first class mail so it'll get there quick." I laughed.
Within two days, the letter came back, in a nice envelope.
