The Girl With The Pink Hair

2) Locker 203

After reading the letter he had written me, I had smiled. Derek Brown. I knew who he was. He was the schools 'bad boy' who could get any girl in school, but decided to remain single.

Dear Derek,
      I know who you are, and I'm not afraid of you. I think its sweet that you wrote me that letter, so I thought it would only be right if I wrote you back. You were right about me, speaking wise. I don't talk because I'm afraid to. My brother was my best friend, but our step father use to abuse us. One night it got so bad that he put Johnathan (my brother) in the hospital. The police came and my step father Rons last words to me were "don't say a word to them or to anyone or I'll find you and put you right next to your brother". I'm sorry if my past makes you think of me differently. Now that you know, I'm going to end this letter. I hope you write back.

Love, Emilea Rose Watson

I folded the letter and put it in locker 203. I will come back tomorrow morning and hopefully I'll have a new letter waiting for me.
