I have been here in Virginia for about two weeks, and each week I find myself either reading in a book or talking to Brandon. I've learned a sufficient amount about the mysterious boy that I had come to befriend.  His parents too had separated, and he had come to live with his widowed aunt. Although I do enjoy his presence, I have to stay focused on Oliver.  Oliver is the real reason I came to Virginia in the first place.  I should keep my distance from him to benefit not only me but him. Yes I do enjoy talking to someone when I'm here knowing no one but my cousins who barely answered my texts. Despite them being always on their phones they don't seem to answer my texts.  I am a privatized person I personal like privacy. Some things I cant talk to Brandon about. Sometimes I feel as if the whole world knows a secret, except me.
