SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I was sitting outside under the cherry tree with my friends, and soon to be husband, Clay, Raimundo, Kimiko, and Omi. We were watching the sunset and it was the first day of summer.

"I love this." I thought aloud.

"What exactly do you love?" Clay asked me.

"I love everything. I still can't believe that it's been a year since I came here." I said to him. "I can't believe last year that Stacy came here to get revenge just because of her nose, and then shot you. I can't believe you asked me to marry you."

"Whoa, slow down." Clay said cutting me off. "You did say yes remember?"

"Yeah I remember." I said smiling.

"You remember how you made Stacy go crazy by saying that you have friends that love you and she doesn't?" kimiko said the let out a ha!

"Yeah, that's kind of how clay got shot. I shouldn't have said anything like that." I said rubbing the back of my neck. "I wonder what happened to Stacy."

"Yeah me too." Said raimundo. "She was kinda hot." Kimiko punched him in the arm and he cringed a bit in pain. I bit my lower lip and tried not to laugh. "Ow! Dang girl you hit hard!"

"I kick harder then I punch." Kimiko stated in a matter-of-fact voice. "Wanna see?"

"That won't be necessary." Raimundo said backing away.

"Look my friends," Omi said the first time in a while. "The sun is almost gone." He pointed to the horizon.

"Your right omi," I said. "It's beautiful." I whispered

"Almost as much as you." Clay said.

"Awe!" kimiko said

"Shut up." I laughed out. I rested my head on his shoulder. And watched the sun finish going down. And slowly drifted to sleep.

I woke up in the middle of the night and realized that we were still outside. I slowly got up and silently climbed the tree. I went to my hiding spot where I keep my parents photo album (yeah I know it's weird to keep it in a tree. But Rai and Omi raid my room every week or so.) I flipped through the pages slowly and looked at the pictures of me and my parents. I looked for a picture of me with hair that wasn't orange. (I wanted to turn my hair back to its original color.) Finally I found one. I pulled it out and a piece of paper fell out. It drifted down to the ground so I put my alum back in its hiding place and went after it.

I unfolded it a realized it was a note.

Dear Sage,

Your probably wondering 'what is this and why did it fall out of my photo album?' well to answer your question this is a letter to you. I here there is a check for $1,000. This is the money we saved for your college tuition. But we felt that you should have it. Do whatever you want with it. Just remember that you always have someone watching over you.

Love always,

Mom and dad.

I read the letter over and over again. Then sat down on the ground drew my knees to my chest, put my head on knees, put my arms around my head, and started to cry. A few minutes later I felt someone put there arm around me and stroke my back. I looked up and saw it was Clay. So hugged him and started sobbing into his arms. I was clenching onto the letter like it was my life line.

"Sage what's wrong?" Clay asked me. I handed to the letter. He read it through and through. "How'd you find this?"

"I was looking in my photo album and it fell out of one of the pocket." I said between sobs. Clay put the letter down and stroked my hair until I fell asleep.
