Dear Dads,

Don't be alarmed. I just went to Grandma's. Looking back on my time at school, I decided it was time for a change. If anyone asks, you guys don't know where I am. Please? Just for a little while. A few month tops. Grandma lives close by so I will be attending school. You can call and visit still but I'm trying out an experiment for school so my appearance will be… unusual. What you guys don't know is that I have been bullied all of high school. Don't panic, I have it under control. Or I will soon. That is where the school project comes in. I have permission from the school. The principal and teachers know I am really Rachel Berry, but will pretend I am a new student. I will soon be known as Mia Kahbs. Promise you won't freak out. Trust me, after this experiment I think the high school will change drastically. I know that I must sound crazy for wanting to do this.

I have answers for the questions I figured you might want to ask.

1. Won't somebody recognize me? No. I have everything all planned out. I won't talk at all so nobody will identify my voice. I will always carry a whiteboard with me in case I need to communicate. My appearance head to toe will be different, as I earlier pointed out. I will dye my hair, wear fake glasses, and wear very different clothes. If I can't talk, I can't sing, so I won't be joining glee.

2. How are you guys supposed to react when people ask you questions? Just be quiet about it. Say you don't like talking about it. I don't know, you can say anything unsuspicious.

I'm sure you guys have a lot of other questions too, but you can visit grandma's house or call me. You can visit as much as you'd like as long as I'm not exposed. Before you tell me I can't do this, talk to me first. I'm sorry if I sound bratty or demanding, but I think it is very important that I do this. At least think about. I love you guys.
