September 11, 1991
Dear Charlie,
I recently received your letter from September 7, 1991.
It was very like one of my first days of high school! I did not like high
school very much in the beginning either and our lunchroom is referred to as the
“Commons Area”. Strange right? I also had a long lost friend in high school,
just like that girl Susan you were writing about. She used to get picked on
because she did all her homework and made straight A’s in middle school, her
name was Ellie. I was her only friend, the bullies used to call her Smelly
Ellie. I suppose one summer she started working out, using makeup, and wearing
her hair down. She was beautiful. She acted like she wasn’t smart at all and
talked with guys all the time. She had become very popular in high school. It
was like she totally forgot about me, her best and not to mention only friend.
I too felt sorry for my friend because she never did look as happy as she used
to. And it’s okay Charlie; it’s just a letter you do not have to be
grammatically correct all the time. I used to get picked on a lot too, only not
“swirlies”, I was the football teams punching bag. I wish I had some of those
cool moves your brother taught you back when I was starting school! I’ll
remember, go for the knees, throat, and eyes. Its cool your brother plays at
Penn State, but I know that must be hard with your parents sometimes. Remember
this Charlie, do what makes you happy don’t try to live up to someone’s
expectations.
Sincerely
your friend,
Julius
