Day 27 — The friendliest person you knew for only one day
These two letters are to my best friend (number 1) cousin’s.
Dear my best friend’s cousin 1,
I keep coming back to your name being Claire… but I don’t think it is.
You are probably one of the funniest people I know and I only met you once. I remember I was staying with my best friend while travelling and it was near Christmas. My best friend did this tradition where we would travel to each side of her family, catch up, exchange gifts, eat. I came along and I was greeted by the loveliest people. I remember you though. You instantly recognised my “strange” accent as you put it. You continually pestered me asking me to say something.
My best friend’s family gave me a box of maltesears and I opened them and offered one to my best friend. You reached across, grabbed a handful and smiled at me. I remember laughing so hard.
We then watched ring box fighting sport or whatever you call it. It was obvious it was fake, but gee that would hurt if it were real. People were being kicked in the back, slapped. I sat there wincing at all the pain. I remember you just laughed at me.
Lunch came! Food! You kept offering me food. I politely declined it but you seemed to take that as a, “Yeah pile my plate a metre high with food.” I don’t think I’ve ever eaten so much before.
You had a fantastic friendly vibe and you were a lovely person. I’ll probably get to see you again in about 4 months! Yay! *insert sarcasm* I’m kidding!
Love Becky xx
Dear my best friend’s cousin 2,
I think your name was Ben… I think.
You were on a different side of the family. Cousin 1 had been on my best friend’s Mum side. I remember you small tiny house, packed with around 15 people. You were the same age as me and my best friend.
This side of the family gave me a key ring and a pencil case. I felt so bad for barging in, because this was supposed to be a family reunion. A lot of food had been made. At least you didn’t try to pile my plate up with food like Cousin 1 had. My best friend, her brother, you and me all went upstairs to play a board game. I mean... come on! We were too cool to hang out downstairs with the little kids xD.
We all decided to play the game of life. The old fashioned game of life. That was one interesting game. I had two mum’s in my family, I ended up kidnapping one of you kids, my best friend took one of my mum’s and gave me a dad instead. It was a very interesting game.
Half way through, my best friend took out her perfuming and sprayed some. You and my best friend’s brother instantly reacted VERY DRAMATICALLY, telling us how bad it smelt. You got your deodorant and sprayed it in our faces. God it stank. My best friend then attacked you with her perfuming. I grabbed her brother’s pillow and she sprayed her perfume over it. She then completely sprayed the front of the door. You grabbed your deodorant and sprayed it all over the door on top of the perfume.
That’s when we all started to have difficulty breathing. We had sprayed that much perfume and deororant that there was like this cloud. We all sprinted out of your room and down the stairs. Problem was, you could still smell it downstairs.
We acted cool. Yeah… no we didn’t. We closed your bedroom door and that stopped the smell a little bit. It still stank though xD.
I remember your afro red hair. That was pretty damn awesome.
You were lovely, and you weren’t awkward or anything. I had a great time, the four of us did.
Hopefully I’ll get to see you in about 4 months or so.
*holds up perfume* Get ready buddy… xD
Love Becky xx
