Christmas Eve

 December 24, 2008

Dear Charlie,

  I wasn’t going to write you today. But I got home and find myself with nothing to do. Today was Christmas eve. And we celebrated my baby sister’s birthday. Originally is the 21, but mom decided to do it today. A lot of my relatives were there. My great grandma, my cousins, old friends, and we had fun. But I was sad because even though I was so near to my best friend’s house, I couldn’t see her. And it got me so frustrated. I really tried to see her. But no one wanted to give me their car to get her. Neither did her relatives. I felt a bit sad for it. Because I really did wanted to see her. I just got a text from her saying “Merry Christmas, I love you so very much”. I don’t know what to reply. Maybe the same. I talked to her, the girl I love. Anabel, she sounded happy on the phone and I was happy to hear her voice again. We talked about our New Years resolution and what we wanted for Christmas. Every time I talk to her I feel like the time stops. And the world only exists for us. I hope you remember how she looks. Even though the last time you saw her was in 6th grade.

  I remember the first time I saw her. She had short hair by then, and really big eyes. And I just acted weird and dumb trying to make her laugh. She did laughed, and I loved her for that. But after 6th grade I didn’t saw her until now. Senior year, in Central High. I think at first she didn’t noticed who I was, nor did I. She let her hair grow, she was growing up (if you know what I mean, I wont give you any details… Perv) but the thing that made me recognized her was her big green eyes. I tried to say hi, but I just started to sweat so I got away. But it has been over a month since school started and she and I have been talking for a while. She’s really interesting, she’s into old bands, Like The Smiths and The Ramones. She loves other cultures and she’s extremely curious. She’s weird, but still manage to be in the popular group. Her best friend is popular so I guess it’s not that hard for her. Sorry for the distraction, the phone call ended by this words said by her “I’m about to sleep, goodnight darling, I’ll text you when I wake up” and I said “Sure, night, I’ll miss you” and then I heard nothing, so I got scared. But then She came back and said “I’ll miss you too” and hung up. What could that mean? I don’t want to get over my head with her. It’s late now so I have to go. I’ll write you later this week.

Love,

Joctan
