THE LETTER. THE CHANGE. THE LIE.
Chapter 2:
I reread the letter for a third time.
Katia,
You probably don't remember me but we were penpals back in elementary. I know it must seem odd, me writing you after so long but my mum and i were going through old school papers of mine and I found the letters. I know you probably won't ever get this but if you do you should email me. I don't really have an address to write me, which is why there is a lack of a return address. Here's my email, hope to talk to you sometime soon.

I really couldn't believe this happened. we were only talking about this at lunch, plus stuff like this never happens to me. i sat there in my room debating forever whether or not to give the email a try. I mean whats the worst that can happen? Its all an elaborate prank? I grabbed my laptop and turned it on. I soon bgan to write back.
L,
Hello! I actually do remember you! Ironically enough my friends and I were talking about pen pals today at lunch and i mentioned you. Its great to talk to you again, I do have one question for you though. Why did you decide to write? i know you said you found our old letters, but what made you write me?
-Katia.
I sent the message and decided to go do my homework, I could barely concentrate though. My mind kept returning to my old pen pal. The more i thought about, the sillier i felt about writing him back(if it really was him adn not some random jerk). I decided not to tell my friends about it. At least not yet.
I went to bed that night still thinking about it.I began to daydream about what might happen, but soon the daydreams became actually dreams as i fell asleep.
The next morning i woke up with a start. I looked over at the clock. 5:30. "Ugh," i groaned. I went to go roll back over and go back to sleep but then it hit me. My pen pal! What if he replied back? I know the chance was a long shot. I grabbed my laptop and woke it up. It seemed to run slower than usual this norming (I swear my stuff knows when i'm in a rush. Finally my mail was up and was checking for mail. Around and around the circle went. Finally I heard a ding! one new message. I opened it anxiously.
Katia,
I do have to admit I was quite Skeptically if you would actually reply or not. And I decided to write you because my life has been a little hetic lately, kinda thrown upside down. I needed someone I could talk to without worrying about drama. I know back in elementary the most drama we had was shorter recess but I thought what the heck. Plus if i could ask you for advice on girls back then, i can definitely jus talk to you then.
Well i have to go. Its late here and i'm about ready to fall asleep.
-L.
I couldnt believe it. He emailed me back. I decided not to reply until after school that way I wouldnt be worried about his reply all day. I got up and got ready for another boring day of school. I still wasnt going to tell anyone, I wanted this to myself for a while, just to see how it plays out.
AATHORS NOTE:
Okay so I know its not my best but once again just trying to get a base. Just a couple more chapters, i have them outlined just got to write them. Also i have to post these off my ipad so there won't be formatting and things might get messed up so i apologize in advance.
