The art of pickpocketing is simple, you try and take something belonging to somebody without anyone noticing until it’s too late. Pickpocketing can work with multiple people or with one person, I’ve always thought it was easier with two. Ninety percent of the time everything goes with ease and Lily and I end up with some money for rent and food, sadly today was not one of those easy days where everything goes smooth.
This was the fateful day that started our story, mines and Alec’s. Some people may consider me and him meeting as a mistake or just pure coincidence but I don’t believe so. I don’t think it was a coincidence, I believe it was fate. I also do not believe meeting him was a mistake because ever since I stole his watch, he stole the sadness from my heart. This isn’t a cheesy story that tells of two people meeting and falling in love instantly, no not at all. This is a story of laughter, tears, friendship, love, lost, and being found.
This isn’t a typical student/teacher story, this story is more of a relationship building out of school more than it is in school anyways. It’s not a story where everyone is perfect, everybody has flaws even characters in stories.
This is going to be weird. At first at least. I haven't talked to you in over a year, but the teacher said we should use this diary to express our emotions and the only one I could ever be one hundred percent honest with is you.
Those letters to you are worth 25% of my final grade so I must find some interesting things to talk to you about.
It's going to be good for me too. It'll help me move on. Help me live my life again.
I just hope that it will get easier because for now, just imagining talking to you every week brings it all back, all those feelings. I still hope that, one day, you will read those letters for real. That they won't just be a way to keep you in my mind.
I'm not stupid, I know that you will never read them but imagining that you will helps me write what I really want to say.
So this is for you, I hope you will enjoy.
With all my love,
Emily
