This story is going to be a series of letters back and forth from this girl, Alex, to Chris. It starts from when she moves away during eighth grade, and continues on from there.

Dear Chris,
So I just moved into my new house in Cali. It's not that fun so far. My parents are ignoring me, and Danielle just met a boy so she's never home. It's boring here. I start school tomorrow. Wish me luck, please! So, I was wondering when you were going to come out here and visit me. I know I just moved but it would be nice to see my best friend again. How are the guys? Is Vern still crying over my moving? I swear when I hugged him he was like, stapling himself to me. That was cute, but in a way…odd. I miss Gordie a lot. Tell him that there are no good comic stores up here. He's going to have to send me some. Preferably Mighty Mouse…just throwing that out there. Okay, well I'm going school shopping so I gotta go. Love you so much!
Love,
Alex

Dear Alex,
It sucks that you're not having a good time. School's starting tomorrow for us too. Tell Danielle to use protection. HAHA! I will wish you luck for tomorrow. Don't go making any new best friends! That's my job! We'll come visit soon, I promise. I miss you so much! Your blood stain from when Ace punched you into my wall is still there, even though that's gross. Vern cries everyday and says how much he misses you. Hell, I think Ace even misses you. We all do! And I'll put in a good word for you with the Mighty Mouse Comics. Good luck, once again, tomorrow.
Your best friend,
Chris
