Dear Kenshin,

We have been friends for years. Ever since you covered for me in middle school for that food fight.

Throughout our seven years of friendship we have done many things together. We have held each other through the tears of broken hearts, sad movies, the death of pets, family and loved ones.

We have been in kendo tournaments together, gone to foreign countries and even survived being lost for five hours in Akan National Park.

Our friendship stayed true through Tomoe and Enishi, my cooking and trigonometry.

In the past few months I have come to realize that I really value you and our friendship. Nothing means more to me.

Which is why I'm sick and tied of waiting for you to get up off your ass. We've been in love with each other for all of senior year, and we graduate in a month. I know this has been the cause of some awkwardness between us, and I am done with ignoring the white elephant.

I am demanding that you go out on a date with me this Saturday (or I will beat the shit out of you) because you and I are both ready for the next step in our relationship.

Love,

Kaoru
