Page 17 of Crazy for this Girl

Dear Laynee,

It’s good to keep your musical selections open. That way you don’t get bored all the time.

I’m super happy you wanted to wear my number. That’s my girl. No one else is allowed to wear it but you, it’s sacred now.

Best friend benefits.

Basketball, huh? I’m already not a fan because he’s probably too tall for you and is looking to get a scholarship, am I right? Probably wants to be the next Michael Jordan without a quarter of the skills. All the jerks at my school who play basketball are tools. Hopefully, it’s different over there.

Warped Tour is in Charlotte on August 2 and 3; however, the tickets are officially sold out.

Now, I’m going to go make an emo-mode playlist on my iPod and mourn the loss of being able to go.

School is fine. Football is brutal but fun. We won our last four games.

I have to run to tutoring, I’m writing this in class. I’m having a hard time in Math, which I’ll never need in my life but whatever.

Songs are on the back.

Peace Out,

Beach Boy

P.S. Don’t take so long to write me next time. I thought you really left for Switzerland or replaced me. It would’ve ended up embarrassing for you if I had shown up announcing that I was carrying your love child.

Dear Cal,

Happy New Year! We got a little bit of snow and Dad is taking us to Colorado to go for a skiing trip. We’ve gone for the last three years, and I’m still no better at skiing than I was before. However, it’s fun because all I do is drink hot cocoa and watch people fall on their butts down the bunny hill.

I have tryouts for the second round of volleyball for the winter. I think I’m getting better. I haven’t gotten hit in the head for a few weeks now.

There is a winter formal that’s coming up in January that I might go to. (I’ve never heard of so many dances at one school in my life.) Hannah and I are going dress shopping this weekend. She’s on the party committee so I’ve been helping her with some cool ideas to decorate and stuff.

I hope you’re doing better in math. 1+1=2, remember that.

German sucks, I’m about to drop and take French. I’m close to almost bombing all my tests so there goes Switzerland for a while.

Merry Belated Christmas,

Laynee

P.S. I’ll write back when I come home from Colorado.

Dear Laynee,

Sorry that the Winter formal was boring. I liked your blue dress though in the picture you sent me. I’ll teach you some dance moves when I see you and show you how to look cool without doing too much.

My mom and dad went to Paris last week for their anniversary, so I stayed with my best friend. We watched a bunch of scary movies and ate a crapload of junk food. I made our mix and he loved it. Told him I would break his hands though if he tried to get the word out about our snack.

Amanda and I broke up because she’s crazy. Remember how you teased me about drawing circles around your pictures.

Well, she did it.

I could get past it if she didn’t threaten other girls in my classes to stay away from me. She demanded I get a guy partner for my science class when they’re already assigned to us, and she was everywhere I went.

I couldn’t do it anymore.

I’m tired of all these weird girls and you said being a JV football player was nothing to brag about. Joke’s on you.
