Dear Zayn,

You and Perrie are so sweet! It's gotta be nice to just chill with her now. No more drama, right? I need more drama-free time in my own life. Shaking it up with the lime green hair must feel nice too. You've really let your creative side out now that you're the one in control.

I've tried to do the same. Writing is my outlet. Not just these letter, of course, but actual stories. That's why I took that class in the first place, the one that required me to write that first letter, starting kind of an obsession, tbh. I still haven't told anyone I write these. Especially since I don't actually send them. The humiliation is strong, haha!

The class was good, not what I was hoping it was going to be, but it did get my ideas flowing more. That's a benefit. Unfortunately I haven't finished any of my stories, which I thought would be a big part of a creative writing course. Not so much.

So now, instead of writing more about the girl turned creature-of-revenge horror novel that I'm only half done with, I'm writing to you, sitting in a little coffee shop, drinking water. I can't afford these gourmet cups on my budget but the free WiFi keeps me sipping on the water for a bit.

Is that bad?

Oh well, maybe I can get a job here and save up some money for a cup. I'd need a payment plan. Take my advice, keep the gig you've got right now. Real life kind of sucks.

Sincerely,

Sara.

*sorry about the Perrie comment. Don't mean to dredge up a sore topic.*

Wonder what Zayn is thinking while he reads these secret letters... PS the asterisks around the chapter titles indicate that letter as a "secret" one 😉

Thanks for reading! We'll get back into some of Sara's deeper secrets next letter!
