Then the days passed by like a blur to Me, until it was finally the next week. I received another letter. A teacher gave it to me saying it was from someone that I  know. I once again opened the envelope, pulled out the letter and read it.

‘Dear Lena,

It’s the second week. Have you figured out who I am? Well I guess still not.

When we meet, I’ll give you 13 rose…

12 real, 1 fake

Then I’ll say: I love you until the last rose dies.

Love

2304’

“You got another one?” Steven said as they had their break between classes. I nodded and shrugged and continued to doodle on a paper.

I absentmindedly wrote ‘2304’ on the paper. I noticed what I wrote and immediately tore the page and threw it to the trashcan. I sighed and listened to the lecture.

I was sitting in my room, in front of the computer emailing my uncle Marshall.

Hi Best UNCLE IN THE WORLD! How have you been?

You haven’t visited me yet. Miss you uncle!

Waiting for your reply

Love, Lena.

I hit the ‘Send’ button and continued to surf around the net. I played games on W90.com. I was so busy playing HP galaxy wars that I didn’t notice I received a new email. I checked the new email and found a message from [email protected]. I wondered who it was from. But one thing I know it’s from 2304 admirer.  It said:

Hi Lena. I’m not a stalker I promise! I’m just here to say hi…

That’s all..

2304

I thought of what I should reply and even hesitated on typing hello back. I tried to reply but still nothing. I kept ramming my head for thoughts.  Then I just randomly typed:

Hello, can you please tell me who you are?

Lena

I hit ‘Send’ and waited. I received an email from Uncle Marshall. It was the weirdest letter I ever read.

LENA!!!! LENA BANANA! I’ve been ok. I know I miss you too! But I can’t visit just yet busy fishing. You know, I caught this fish…that is half your size! It’s so large! I’ll send you a pic right now! IT’S SO HUGE! WE ATE IT FOR DINNER!!! Y UMMYYYYY FISHHHYYY…ANYWAYS! Say hi to Daniel and Rosalie for me! BUH BYE!

Marshall the marshmallow maker

I didn’t have time to reply since mom was yelling for me to sleep so I logged out and shutted the computer down. I went to sleep after that.
