The first letter

I shuffled through the envelopes. Not fully paying attention, until i came a cross a specific letter. It didnt say who it was from or where it came from. All it had was my address. Huh. I tore the corner of the envelope and slid my finger across, tearing it open. But you know envelopes, they never open neatly. I slipped out a piece of paper coated in neat handwriting.

I dont know why i am even writing this letter. But here it is.
Well lets just say i miss my bed. But you know it could be alot worse. I could be locked in a cell right now. I havent done anything wrong. Dont worry. Some people found out something about me that they just dont understand. I was almost caught today, I was lucky i got away when i did.  You know how life is, sometimes you get lucky and sometime you dont. I just hope my luck stays with me.
Well at the moment i am stitting in a tree. I know kind of weird . Its a good place to hide though. It makes it harder for them to find me. Who would think to look up a tree right. The branches provide a good screen to block me from sight. Plus i like the view. Depending which tree i am in, i get a different view each night. I do have to be careful, i dont want to roll off while im sleeping. I have done that before it wasnt so easy to get around the next day. Ive gotten kind of used to it now. I love the feeling of dangling my legs over the edge, and the sound of the leaves rustling.
Anyway i better get to sleep i have a long way to travel tomorrow.

I had no idea who that was but some reason i was intreged to continue reading. The letter just ended. It didnt even say who it was from. I was taken away from my thoughts a i heard my phone vibrating against the stone bench top. I picked up the phone with my free hand and checked the caller ID. It was jake . My best friend from uni. I placed the letter on the bench and swiped my phone to answer.

"Brook where are you" i heard jake call through the phone. I pulled my phone away from my ear to check the time. I realised that our class was about to start. I had an exam this morning. That letter made me completely  forget.

"I lost track of time. Im leaving now." I replied in a panic. I can not miss this exam. Im lucky my apartment isnt too far away from the University. I can get there in just under 5 minutes if i dont get to many red lights. I grabbed my books and folders. As i jogged past the bench i saw the letter sitting there. I looked at it then at the bin. I slipped it off the bench and slid it into my folder. I dont even know why i am keeping it.
And with that i was out the door.
