A challenge for me

The First Letters

November 11, 2015
Dear Allison,
I swear I've never written a real letter before in my life. I would much rather just text you, but you probably wouldn't answer your phone anyway, wouldn't you? It's so weird without you. You always know how to start a good conversation, but Marcy and I never know how to talk to each other without you connecting the dots. We still always meet up at the old tree, but it's gotten less exciting. I didn't know one person could make such a difference, really. I guess I should stop whining, though, because it's not like you can come back. How's sunny California, anyway? Oh, I think I should stop writing now, answer back as soon as possible or I'll die of boredom!!
-Luvluv, Natty

Dear Allison,
I already feel so sophisticated, writing a letter with real pen and paper. I should get a quill and write by candlelight, haha. Things have been gloomy without you. Natalie has been quiet and odd around me. I never realized it, but this has kind of been the only time we've been without you, except for those times you would go off with other friends. You always had something we never had, and I could never understand it. Maybe it's just because you're pretty, but it seems like there's something about you that just makes people love you. It's funny, this whole time, I always felt like I knew you both so well, but now that things have changed, I've discovered things about both you and Natalie. I never knew she could be so quiet, so solemn, and I never thought you cared this much about us. I promise to write to you as often as I can, but I'll feel betrayed if I don't get a reply. In the letter you send to us, tell us about California. Neither of us has gone far from Washington, and we want to hear all about it.
-Sincerely, Marcellus
