Dear gym teacher,
Please spare me.
From, your straight a student, r
Dear old friend,
I miss the way you were before.
Homeschooling... it changed you.
First "A" left me. That is when I started wondering if she was using me. I kinda drifted from then to first grade. Then you. Mrs. J. Said to become friends with the new kids. There were five of you, maybe a few more in the other class.
You seemed to be the nicest and welcoming of them all.
Oh gosh you trusted me.
I trusted you.
You gave me those tickets we used to have when we were in the first grade, the very last time I saw you.
They never did make it back to Mrs. J.
I never used them for my own purpose either.
I'll be honest, I lost them.
I truly wouldn't be surprised if they showed up, years later, and I remembered them.
Soon enough though, I was flying through every grade with straight A's and as many attendance days as I possibly could.
Then came sixth grade.
I was a c heerleader along with "J" who I knew since kindergarden, but just became better friends with that year.
There was this one snotty brat who was at least two or three years younger than me, yet she was on the varsity team with us fifth and sixthgraders.
The GS troop was there.
I remember them continuously walking by, going to the playground, etc.
Then I hear it.
"G"!
I froze in the middle of my kick, almost falling over of course, and looked around.
Time had done you good, you were so pretty, like everyone-has-a-crush-on-you pretty.
You're hair wasn't quite as long as you used to have it, and I could barely tell it was you.
"J" and I ignored the the bossy younger girl as she yelled at us.
I looked at her and she looked back at me smiling, and I just knew she was just as happy. Rather or not it was seeing my smile the first time in a week or so or not, she was genuinely grinning at me.
You had no idea you helped me forget about my cat who ran away a week and a half prior. Even if only for a couple seconds.
Turns out she sorta joined our troop then.
After practice, I went to the playground like always.
You were there.
I had hidden in the brand new slide, watching you explore the new playground that was so different from the one in first grade.
Then it comes.
"An" asks if she had seen me yet.
I almost cried when you lit up even brighter and asked eargerly where I was.
In sync, at least three of the girl pointed at the slide where I was watching.
So I slid down and smiled at you, nodding at your eager questions about if I remembered you.
The truth, you seemed to be breaking out of your shell, well, you had already done it. And I had just gotton worse.
I guess I was semi jelous.
I'm sorry.
If you ever can, forgive me.
Dearest wishes, r
