Dear Whoever,
There's a new kid in town. Which is great because for once everyone one in school isn't talking about me.
Half the school is talking about him. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't because he was cute. I mean that solely based on the side of his face that I have seen in class.
His name is Jameson and I feel bad for the guy.
I can't imagine how he must be feeling after moving to this shit town.
Oh, did I mention that he moved into the house next to Bridget's? S̶h̶e̶ ̶s̶t̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶h̶a̶t̶e̶s̶ ̶m̶e̶ ̶b̶y̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶w̶a̶y̶.
I'm not stalking him or anything. I only noticed they were neighbors because I was stalking Bridget. Okay, so I wasn't actually stalking Bridget. Lately, I just enjoy staring at her house when she is home and hoping it will catch on fire while she is trapped inside.
Writing that down sounds a lot more dramatic than when I was thinking it...
Forget it, I don't even want to think about Bridget, Sara, Craig, or s̶t̶u̶p̶i̶d̶ ̶l̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ Andrew right now. I swear if I think about any of them for one more second, my head will implode.
What was I writing about again? Right, the new kid. Jameson looks about as excited to be in this town as I feel being stuck living here.
He does make me curious though.
Not just because he is new but because he's someone who doesn't already think he knows everything about me, at least I hope.
Sometimes, it feels too late for me.
Great, here I go ranting about my existential dread again...
Maybe, I'll try and talk to the new kid. No one else ever does.
Hopefully, he needs a friend just as much as I do.
With disdain,
Katherine
