Dear friend,
Hello once more old friend. I hope these letters aren't a bother. I really hope these letters don't hinder whatever you're gonna do for the day.Well did I ever tell you why I became friends with you? Well might as well tell you now.
I became friends with you because well... you were interesting to me.
Not everyday you meet someone the complete opposite of yourself and force their way into your life. Thats what I thought you and ever since you came every time I went to the park and tried to converse with me.It was interesting to me because so far my life has been as dull as a blade used in battle for years only to be forgotten and thrown away. You to me were a new event and adventure.
So on the 5th day you went to visit me on the park I told myself."Why not let him be a part of your life? It would be interesting." And so I did, I actually conversed with you and you'd make your fair share of both jokes and sarcasm while I shared mine as well.
I think we were talking about the future and you said you wanted to be a lawyer because you wanted to defend what's right without needing to take another man's life. Right there I asked you that if you.
"Weren't you already taking his life away from whoever loses in the debate between good and bad because the prisoner has to stay inside Jail for years taking away his time and life from whoever is left of their families?" And you just answered me back by saying.
"Yea, but its their fault in the 1st place that they got where they were because they committed wrong." And you asked me what I wanted to be and I just told you."I don't know."
You wouldn't take I don't know for an answer so you just kept trying to pry an answer from me saying things like insulting jokes when you said."Even anti-social people like you need to do something with their lives." Or being serious like when you told me."You've got to have a purpose everyone has to have a purpose."
We continued on and on till the warm orange glow of the sum slowly disappeared over the horizon with the cool and breath taking stars of the dark night slowly appeared and you told me you had to go and I just stayed there staring into the night sky thinking to myself."A purpose huh, that sounds interesting."
Well thats one fun memory if you ask me like the time where our group of 4 wanted to go out to watch a movie thats where you told a few secrets such as how you actually have a crush on Rafael and to me I was bursting with laughter.
An extroverted girl like and her and an outgoing dog worshiping animal lover coming together hell it was the perfect ship for me. One thing you didn't know that day is I actually went to RafRaf and told him.
"Hey, you're gonna have to deal with a whole mess of things later on in your life." He just stared at me asked what I meant and I just smirked and left. Sorry I slightly ratted you out there might be too late for an apology considering I don't know if you kept in touch with the others.
It was a fun day that time we went around the malls and ate food and all that. I even recalled asking you when were you gonna tell him? You just told me that its a secret. In my head I was just thinking to myself slightly laughing.
"How the hell did I get into a teen romantic comedy?" Well we ended the day by forming groups so we could adventure the mall more and just call the other group if something interesting were to pop up and as a way to insult you I insisted that you go with Raf and I went with Sam telling the other 2 things like.
"They almost never get to hang out without us all being here so why not?" It worked and you just looked back at me while walking mouthing a fuck you while strolling away my time with Sam was rather quiet. Both of us didn't even look for something interesting all we did was actually stalk you a bit as Sam already told me that you told her. The mall was big it had 5 floors and at the center was some kind of fountain with bridges and walk ways to the other sides of the mall and it was a place where sunlight can pass through but since it was night time moonlight was the only thing left there. The 3rd floor had a balcony where you could see the center so thats where me and Sam waited as through out the whole day Raf has been wanting to check the place out. So we waited for a few minutes and then you two finally showed up down there. You were walking to one of the railings of the bridges and you sat there and Raf followed along and sat right beside you. Whilst that was happening me and Sam could barely hold our laughter. Then we saw you lean your head against Raf's shoulder and him leaning his head onto your head and now both me and Sam were slightly dumbfounded as we didn't expect you tell him right there and then.
To me and Sam this was a Teen romantic comedy thing and we had front seats to watch it happen.
After that we called you since the mall was about to close and we left Raf was 15 you were 14 same as me and Sam. Though I never personally you how I felt about this whole thing I suppose I can tell you now. Personally I think we were all a bit too young for all that romance but we did have a rule in our group. It wasn't a rule really it was more or less a motto and it was that You do you pal. Which meant that we can convince you to do things but ultimately you decide what you want to do with yourself. Also I felt a bit moue in the back of my head and I just shook it off. Well I've been ranting on and on once again now I shouldn't bother you too much and take all your timeSincerely
