"So, what do you think Mr. Ray has planned for us today?" My best friend, Chelsea, asked me walking right by my side. Mr. Ray is our English teacher. I gotta admit, 2 weeks into the school year, I could say he's a pretty cool dude.
"I don't know, Chelsea. We're only 2 weeks into the school year." I said as we walked in and took our seats in the back as my other best friend, Audrey sat right next too us.
"I heard Mr. Ray is giving us a new project. Well, our first real project. Since we're advanced, we get to do it. I hope its fun." Audrey said showing her braces. The bell rung meaning that it was time for class to begin.
"Okay class. I'm pretty sure you all already heard but we are starting a big, new exciting project today! We all have PenPals. Now, we're in Council Bluffs, right? We're writing all the day down to Dallas Texas. They wrote first so come up for your letters. Any questions?" No one said a word. "Alright. I have the letters here, so come on up and get them."
Me, Chelsea, and Audrey all went up to get our letters. I was the 8th person to get mine. I slowly and carefully opened it and started reading.
She looks like Ellen? She dosen't think I know who Ellen Degeneres is. Oh my gosh. I took out a pen and paper and started writting.
Dear Brianna,
Hello my PenPal! Your Brianna, eh? I'm Sara. Nice to meet you. I'm from Iowa. Oh wait, you knew that.
You think I don't know who Ellen Degeneres is? You know I'm not living under a rock, right? Of course I know her. You have short brown hair? Short as in shoulder short or boy short? I have this semi-long black hair. I dyed it. I have these big puppy dog brown eyes! I get anything I want with them. But anything is mostly at home. I'm a shy little girl. I only smile around family or my best friends. Other wise that I stay low. What about your nose? It's small? Oh my goshh.
I'm 13. I turn 14 Monday, February 10th. I'm so young, I hate it. But then I do get to live out my childhood everyday. But I hate that I'm shy. Oh well.
Your coming up in 9 months? When did this happen? Also, I guess you could have a baby in that time period. Food? Eh, depends on what it is. Me, I'm on a diet. A seefood diet. I see food and I eat it. Normally I love popcorn, pizza, candy, or fruit. I love food.
I just said I was turning 14 soon by the way, weirdo. But yes, you are correct. I can see your already soo fun to talk to just by one letter.
I play Volleyball and Basketball, I'm also in the Musical and in Show Choir. I love it. My favorite subject is English. I'm a great writter. It's my passion. My best friend you say, eh? I have two. Chelsea and Audrey. Audrey's been there for me since Preschool. Ah, good times. Chelsea? We met when I was in 6th grade. We've all been best friends since. When I'm older I want to be a mommy, wife, and an actress. My turn for questions.
1. Best friends?
2. Favorite school subject?
3. What should I know about you?
4. Facts about your past.
5. What do you want in the future?
Leaving you with that! It was so great to write to you, too. I hope to hear from you again.
By the way, Brianna, I love your name. It's so cute.
-Sara Elizabeth.
I folded it up just as the next class was coming in and slid it into the envelope. I handed it in and started walking to my next class. Math with Mrs. Witt. Last class of the day. I have my last class with Audrey but not Chelsea.
"So, do you like you PenPal so far?" I asked Audrey.
"Yeah, I guess," I looked at her because it was so sarcastic. "was that even believeable?" I nodded no. "I have this guy named Mark. So far, he seems like a total jerk. What about you? I seen you smilin' all through the letter. How's yours?" she asked smiling.
"Oh my gosh, she's amazing. Her name is Brianna. I think she's like me. Lesbian. But she has short brown hair soo I'm thinking she is. I bet you she's lesbian. I don't know, guess we'll find out next letter." I said and smiled walking into Math class.
The end of the day went by really fast. I mean, it is Friday after all. The last bell finally rung and I rushed out to my locker to put away a couple books. Audrey and Chelsea met me there like normal. We all started to walk to my house, like normal. We all walked home, to my house.Our Friday went like normal. Watching sobby love stories and eating popcorn and pizza. Every Friday night is perfect. I just hope we get a reply soon from Brianna.
