After a long spell of writers block and lack of time, I was able to write something. Then wattpad glitched and it's gone. *sigh* This happens too often.

Just wanted to let you know that For Cole is such a beautiful story and I do hope that the real Cole who inspired the story is okay. And I hope that you're okay too.

thank you so much for this! the book hasn't been getting too much attention recently but the wait was worth it because of this heartfelt comment from you. I'd love to assure you that my little sister and cole's little sister have been in contact recently and it's hair-raising how similar she is to the "original" cole! she sounds just like him and is literally him now had his life not been influenced by bullying (I'd imagine). and according to social media, life is being good to cole right now and I cried when I saw a picture of him in my feed with a genuine smile on his face because it has been a long time and his happiness is well overdue him. so as far as I know, cole is well. and thank you for hoping the best for me. I'm in a really good spot right now, so I am okay.

I had this really great piece of writing I'd written for English that I was pretty elated to post up here. But then I turned in my original copy of that work. My teacher teared up while she read the first few parts of it. Then she put it in her grading bin.
          
          I went back to her a few days later to get it back. She frowned and after sorting haphazardly through her piles of student work on the floor at the front of her classroom, she looked up at me and said:
          
          "I think I filed it in my green filing bin."
          
          Taking this lightly, trying to be optimistic (as I quite frankly am not), I waited for her to tell me when she'd sort through it and find it by so I could swing by again and get it back.
          
          Then she gave me the break down:
          
          She'd recycled my work.
          
          
          
          I just left.
          
          So I guess I'll just post my mediocre rough draft later.
          
          But the lesson here is to NEVER GIVE AWAY AN ORIGINAL COPY.
          
          Thank you. And good night.
