Dear MK,
Today, I finally realized something: all this time, and yet I really don't have a reason to be afraid of you. I know it might sound weird that I was scared of you, but I was. I think I was just afraid that you knew a secret about me. But maybe it was irrational to cause myself that much stress over something that happened more than two months ago.
Maybe it had something to do with how different we are. You're a loud, popular, redheaded girl. I'm a shy, quiet brunette. You're really smart, I'm just average. I cold go on and on about how different we are, but you already know all of that. But the most important thing that I realized today was this: no matter how different we are, there's still one thing that we see eye-to-eye on.

Dear NJ,
I don't know why I told you that. But I did. So, right now, all I can do is hope and pray that you keep your promise to not say a word about it. I told you because I thought I could trust you. Please don't prove me wrong.

Dear JA,
I'm really sorry, okay? I know that I like the guy that you like. I'm sorry! I can't help my feelings. You've known him for a lot longer than I have, and you have a much better chance with him than I do. I never should have told you that it was him. But I did, so please just understand that it's not my fault.

Dear JL,
Shut up! I'm not turning into a girly-girl! And, even if I was, what does it matter??

Dear RA and HQ,
I wish you guys could know what N knows. All three of you know my crush, and you could and probably would help me talk to him.
