Life is Beautiful

"Infinite"

   December 26, 2008

 Dear Charlie,

 Yesterday was really fun. A lot of my family came to visit at grandma’s house for a Christmas dinner. I got really surprised because I wasn’t expecting any presents. My mom got me a typewriter. And I was really excited for it. I’m writing on it right now! But the best part was that I got to spend the whole day with my sister Monica. I barely see her and it was her birthday so we went to the fair. It was really fun. I was a bit sad because Anabel was supposed to meet up with me at the fair but didn’t. But when I got home she text me that she had to go to the hospital because she was sick. I felt bad because I was really mad at her and was going to text her “Hey, thanks for bailing on me, you’re such a good friend.” So I told her that I was a bit sad for it. We talked all night, about what we got for Christmas and what we did to spend the day. I don’t know Charlie. I feel so different when I talk to her. Like if, if I was “Infinite”. I put it like that because its a quote from my favorite book. Is it right to feel like that over another person? I don’t know, I love her, and that’s all I know.

  Oh I almost forgot! My dad told me that next summer I’ll get to go to New York. That means I will get to see you! I hope you are as excited as  I am when you get this letter. It’s not the same without you here. I’m mostly alone, reading or writing. And Anabel is with her best friend, she tried to come up to me and talk but her friend stopped her because they were supposed to go to the bathroom together. She gave me a sad look and then she said “I’m sorry” and I said “It’s ok, we’ll talk later.” and smiled. But I wasn’t happy. I hated the fact that I couldn’t talk to Anabel in school. I hate the fact that she doesn’t know that I love her.

Love,

Joctan
