Dear Collin,
Have you read the last Harry Potter book yet? Last week I went to a party at the bookstore with some friends where they released the book at midnight. It was so cool. I was surprised my parents let me stay out that late, but recently they’ve been letting me do a lot of stuff they wouldn’t normally let me do. Anyway, I finished it in a few days, and now I’m kind of sad that there’s no more Harry Potter books to look forward to. I’ll just have to look forward to the rest of the movies coming out.
I’m actually not going on any vacations this summer. My parents are going to Cancun, but that’s fine, because I’ll be at volleyball camp. I’ve actually asked my dad if we could go to Chicago a couple times, because I think it’d be cool to maybe meet you, but he always says it would be a waste of money to visit there. I guess he doesn’t like Chicago.
Are you excited to start high school?
Sincerely,
Glory.

Dear Glory,
I did read the last Harry Potter book! My sister Brittany went to one of those midnight release parties like you did, and she let me borrow it after she was done. I thought it was awesome, but I wish there weren’t so many people who had to die. Now I kind of want to read all of the books again. Maybe if there’s a snow day this winter I will.
I am excited to go to high school. I’m looking forward to doing all the activities and going to all the football games, even though our football team is terrible.
I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately. When you mentioned maybe coming to Chicago I thought about all the places I could show you and all the things we could do together. Maybe I could come to Phoenix sometime. My brother says that when he gets a car, he’s going to drive it all the way to Los Angeles. Maybe I could convince him to let me come along and stop in Arizona. I think it would be cool for us to meet someday. What do you think?
Bye,
Collin

Dear Collin,
Do you remember Michael Dunford? He totallydidbecome hot like his older brother. Over the summer he got taller and tanner and he got his braces off and he suddenly has all these muscles and he’s just so cute! He’s in my Algebra class and I can’t stop staring at him, and he keeps catching me staring at him and it’s so embarrassing! And now all these other girls like him and I’m so jealous. I think he still likes me, but he’s been ignoring me, which I guess I deserve because I’ve been so mean to him all these years. I should have just made myself like him and then I could be dating the hottest guy in the ninth grade!
You should totally come to Phoenix. Maybe you could come next summer and you could meet Michael and tell me what you think of him, and we could all go out to a candlelit dinner and you could play your guitar so Michael and I could dance together. That would be amazing!
I like going to football games too! Michael’s on the freshman football team and I’m thinking maybe I should be a cheerleader so I can spend more time with him, but that would conflict with Astronomy Club so I’m not sure.
Did your brother buy a car yet? I can’t wait until I’m able to drive. Then I could go to the planetarium any time I wanted.
Sincerely,
Glory

Dear Glory,
One time I knew a guy that was totally buff, but then a few years later he just got really fat. That’s probably going to happen to Michael Dunford.
So far high school has been fine. I joined the basketball team because they don’t have a soccer team, and the coach says I’m pretty good. I’m also in band. Are you still doing art and photography?
How was your Halloween? Mine was really lame because my mom made us all dress up like farm animals and go to our church Halloween party. I had to be a chicken. I felt like such an idiot.
I probably won’t be able to make it out to Phoenix next summer because I’ll be so busy having a girlfriend and stuff. I don’t have a girlfriend yet, but I’m sure I will by summer because so many girls like me.
Bye,
Collin
