Dearest,
Violet.
I've noticed we never say hi.
That's like our thing,
I wonder if when we talk
we will say hi?
I know I will.
Speaking of which,
you didn't answer
to my last letter.
And with what happened
today in school,
I'm getting this vibe
that makes me feel
like you're mad at me.
Now,
I can be pretty darn oblivious sometimes
but my guesses are that
you're definitely mad.
And it's because I didn't want to
talk to you, huh?
Not in school
and definitely not in person.
Which brings me back to
what happened today in school...
I know you may say that
you don't really care about it
but let me tell you my side of the story.
I had just gotten out of third period
and after a long hour of History
I was more than ready to just
talk with the guys,
stare at you from afar,
and eat my food like a wild animal.
But that didn't happen.
Why?
Because you were sitting at our table.
I didn't mind that.
Having you near me
would be my everything,
but I wasn't ready Violet.
The guys were behind me
following me through the cafeteria
and when they noticed
you where there they laughed and
told me to go and sit with them at another one
because the girl Tyler had
sex with was sitting there.
I wanted to fight them all.
But I couldn't because
you where looking at me.
Those mesmerizing brown eyes
where looking at me.
And I couldn't tell what
you were thinking,
but when you smiled at me
it was as if the whole world stopped
and it was just you and me.
I couldn't breathe,
my palms started to sweat,
and for some weird reason
my nose was itchy,
and my right eye started to twitch slightly.
I probably looked like a dumbass,
but I swear I heard the angels singing.
I tried to smile at you
but it didn't come out like
my normal smile or my smirk,
instead it came out
awkward looking and imperfect.
But you didn't seem to mind.
I decided right there
that I was going to talk to you,
I was going to sit down
in front of you and say
"Hi, Violet. You look beautiful today."
Not that you don't look beautiful
the rest of the days, you do.
But it would sound weird if I say that.
And I was very aware of my feet
hitting the cement as I walked
towards the table and towards you
but I don't know what it was.
Maybe your eyes,
your smile
or your hair
that made me walk past your table
and exit the cafeteria.
Now, when I exited
I couldn't think right,
I just walked straight
out of school and towards my car.
I ate my lunch in there alone
and that was enough
to make me realize that I am shit.
And I do have to talk
to you in person.
So before I
can talk myself out of it.
Let's meet tomorrow,
at the football field
near the 800 buildings.
Ditch second period
and meet me.
-Ryder.
(P.S I await your letter with your answer.)
(P.S.S Please don't make me wait long, I am impatient. And I'm not normally a chicken, but with matters that involve you I am....so please hurry before I can change my mind.)
