Sean

Sean.

That was his name. We were pretty close, I guess. Call us partners in crime if you want. If I get in trouble, he gets in trouble and vice-versa. We were the ultimate trouble makers back in the days. And bullies too.

I could still remember one incident when we picked on the new girl and got called out for it.

"You're pathetic, Samantha," I sneered her with a roll of my eyes.

Meanwhile, Sean was just throwing spit balls at her and giving the occational snort. It was all fun and games, until we got caught.

"Sean," a voice scolded.

We looked up and saw our Science teacher glaring at our direction with her hands on her hips.

"And you, girl over there."

"You mean Samantha?" I answered.

"Go, Samantha. Ms is calling you." I gave her a little shove.

"No, not her. You," Ms said sharply.

The class laughed but fell silent when Sean gave them a glare.

"The both of you, get out of my class and don't come back unless you have your manners and respect with you," She spat out.

Sean and I ducked our heads as we made our way out the door as fast as we could. We barely got out before bursting out into hysterical laughter. We laughed to our hearts content and didn't stop until we were out of breath.

"My parents are so gonna kill me for this," I said, but I was still chuckling.

"That's ok. You get to spend more time with me," he replied cockily.

"Shut up." I shoved him a little. "I don't even know what's so funny."

"It's always fun with you." He gave me a wide smile.

I gave him an even wider smile - if that was possible - because I returned the sentiment.

That was when I realized that I had a pretty huge crush on him. Things were going good for a while, but then he had to transfer. And that was it for us. That was it for the Sean and I duo.

Dearest Sean,

Hi!

I don't know if you still remember me, but it's me, your partner in crime. I hope you still remember.

I wonder if you're still the same prankster and bully that you are, or if you've changed. And if you didn't, I wonder who you do those pranks with.

I hope you didn't forget about all the fun and adventures, you could say, we had. Those were the good times.

I want to be honest with you. I've had a huge crush on you. And I'm not sure if I still do now. I also wonder what you've felt for me.

The million-dollar question is, are you seeing someone right now? And if you are, I wish you the best. You know, we've never kept in touch.

Well, I'm not going to make this long. I know how you hate long messages because you say, they bore you to death.

I just want to say I miss you and I hope you're okay.

Yours truly,
Me

And no, I'm not going to send that to him.
