Dear ______,
I understand where you are coming from. Your accusations about S are...well, they're not wrong. She is quite controlling, even though she's noticeably younger than some of the others (although she's just as mature as the others-heck, maybe even MORE mature in some cases). But the things you do to cause her to be this bossy completely overthrow everything you say. S is used to your type of behavior. You go off with your little friends and basically ignore everything Coach has to say. You slack off. And yes, I do know you were injured last season. But this has been happening before that. I don't know if it's worse now or whatever, but it's definitely bad now. Remember when we were banned from running off-campus? S and the rest of the girls had no idea what caused that because they weren't there. Well, guess what? I was. And I remember specifically what happened: you and your one friend led the group to the area we weren't allowed on. I trusted you. If I had known that we weren't allowed there, I'd be gone from that area as fast as a jackrabbit. But, oh, I was so foolish to follow you. S and the rest of the girls went the right way; I should have followed them. Oh, and you know what? Even after this event, you still talk slack on S. Maybe if you actually do what you're supposed to do, you wouldn't be yelled at so often. She's never yelled at me, or L, or E, or S2. Want to know why? We actually take this freaking sport seriously and do the work that we're told to do. We might not be good but that doesn't mean we can't work hard. Look, what I'm trying to say is: stop complaining and start listening. It's not easy but the end result is worth it.
...And to ___, the girl who hasn't been here for three months and is thus out-of-loop with the ongoings of the team: don't listen to them. What everyone else is saying is either biased carp (hahaha love you autocorrect) or verbatim that's been instilled from the idiots on the team.
From,
An annoyed runner
Dear S,
Please don't stop being who you are. I doubt you'd ever stop because a few sour people have some sort of hidden agenda against people like you, but please listen. Don't change because of them. You're one of the only few select people who actually talks to me, and that's really cool. Not that many people think I'm interesting. I don't know how you're willing to put up with my carp. But yeah...enough praising. Just...keep it up. You're doing great. (I know you told me that today but I didn't and I feel bad).
Love,
That shy runner who only talks to you like once per week because she's too shy to say anything more
Dear M,
M, M, M. You are amazing, okay? You are the closest thing I have to a best friend on the team. I want to apologize for what happened today. I know it's stupid for me to blame my lack of talking on my shyness, but...that's really what happened. I was scared to talk to you. I know, I know: I should be over that now. We've been friends for a year; shouldn't I be brave enough to simply walk with you? I want to get over my shyness problems so that we can be better friends, and I will one day. But for now, just know that when I shut myself off like that, it's not because I don't want to be your friend. I'm simply not comfortable around people yet. I promise, though: one day I'll be just as extroverted and talkative as you! Because that's who I really am!! Okay? I promise I'll get there!
Also...I miss running with you, bud. I hope that once you get back in shape we'll be able to run together again. </3
Love,
Your "cute and innocent" pal
