Author's Note: Hello again!

Yes, I managed to make two chapters in one day (actually I could make a lot since these letters are so short). Anyway, enjoy this more light hearted letter from Sonia to Carmen featuring Sonia having one of her best challenges in teen-hood yet—crushes. Aka, a more relatable side of Sonia the show failed to show us on screen.

Enjoy!

Dear Carmen,

GOD, train rides are so boooring. I feel like I'm gonna die in this stupid seat, especially since the lady next to me keeps ranting to her friend on the phone very loudly about some political stuff or whatever full grown adults talk about.

And to make things worse, these boys a few years older than me keep secretly glancing at me whenever they think I'm not looking. I mean, I get I sort of am a pretty girl, but..are they fucking serious?!

God, I wish you were here, Carmen. I really could use some help dealing with these guys since I never cared a lot about boys or anything. I was stuck stealing for "Mom". I DONT KNOW how relationships work, I just know what they are.

Actually, on second thought, I'm probably not gonna ask for relationship advice or anything. Since you seem to also be an orphan, from what I heard you say when we were talking on the street. And we orphans aren't exactly that experienced with romance..no offense to you in particular.

What the-AM I CRUSHING ON ONE OF THE BOYS?!

God, I need to take a nap now, this is too much to think about.

See ya!

Sonia
