~~~~~~~~~~~~~Eleven's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     Joyce had just called us down to the kitchen. That usually means it's mail day. Except, I was as excited this time. Will ran past me and Jonathan was already there. "Here ya go kids." She handed Jonathan his letter first and he went to his room as usual. Then she gave me and Will our letters. I took mine and walked up to my room. I closed the door behind me as I entered. I sat at the edge of my bed and took a deep breath before I opened it. Immediately I noticed it was shorter than my other letter. A lot shorter. I briefly ready through it and read the bottom. From Mike. My heart sank. I held the letter as my hands began to tremble. Was he bored of me? Did he find some new girl at high school?  My mind was racing as I felt my heart speed up. The my eyes felt hot. And the tears started to fall down my face and onto the letter. I reached under my bed and grabbed my box for Mike. I open it and threw letter in and shut it. I held the box as my hands were trembling. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~Will's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     I ran upstairs and into my room after my mom gave me my letter. I had been waiting on it ever since my phone call with Mike. I saw down on my bed and tore it open. I read through it smiling from ear to ear. I read the bottom where it was signed. Love,Mike I smiled as I felt a blush creep up onto my face. I held his letter to my chest before jumping up. I say down at my desk and started writing my next letter to Mike. I told him about my days and how I was making really good grades here. No DnD club here though. I smiled to myself as I finished my letter. Then I signed it. Love, Will I smiled as I put it into the envelope and got it ready to be mailed off. I walked back downstairs and handed it to my mom. "Here. For Mike." I smiled and she smiled back. "I'll mail it in a minute honey." She paused and walked over to the staircase. "El I'm going out, do you have a letter for Mike you want mailed?" There was a long paused. "No. Not this time." El yelled back and both me and my mom looked at each other. Weird. My mom walked away and to the door. "I'll be back in a bit baby." She smiled and I waved and walked out the door. I was worried about El. I made my way upstairs and knocked on her door. "Hey El?"
