Dear Mute,

How are you doing in your new apartment? I'm doing well back at the foster home and a lot has changed since you left. Let me start by telling you that I've missed you so much and I can't wait to come visit you next week! It's amazing how fast the month went considering how much I miss you.

Anyway, a new kid moved next door to me in your room. He's about Riley's age and he's extremely sweet. I think Riley may like him, but she refuses to admit it no matter how much I push her to speak. He's looks a bit like a younger version of you, which took me off guard when I first saw him, but he's diffidently not as special as you are.

I started school last week at the high school. It sucks that you're not walking around the halls and hanging out with me, but I'm doing alright on my own. I've already made a friend, Alice, she's really cool. I don't know if you'd remember her but she's the same age as me.

I've been getting good grades so far, even though it's only the first week, but I'm feeling good about this year. Sometimes I'll walk by your room and feel tempted to let myself in until I realize your not there anymore. It's okay though, in about ten months I'll be eighteen and leaving the house. Maybe then we can continue our lives where we left off at 'hello'?

I'll see you next week when I come to visit, but until then, enjoy college and living on your own!

Love,
Haley
