The pen in Valerie's hand felt heavy. Words cut deeper than a knife, right? The pen is a mightier than a sword?

She held the piece of lined paper down and began to write.

Dear James,

This is the first letter I'm writing to you. This is from the day I got checked out from school in the middle of our english class. I don't even know why I'm writing this. You'll probably not even care...

Remember when we first met? Sixth grade was it? You were always the freakishly smart, quiet, reserved kid in class. But everyone still thought you were hot, including me. I was just a nobody being bullied by the popular girls.

One day after school, as you were walking home, you stumbled upon me being cornered by those girls on the side of a building.

You stopped them from doing anything worse than kicking around my schoolbag. And walked off.

I'll never forget that, and I'll always be grateful.

The next day, I asked if I could sit by you at lunch. And from then on we were best friends.

I'll tell you what's wrong in the next letters, because I can't bare to tell you in person.

Love,
Valerie.
