Ned was miserable. All during the summer break Moze had been off at volleyball camp in
Florida. Her leaving made Ned's summer excruciatingly boring, and so he spent most of his
time writing Moze letters about things he felt, what he had been up to and well wishes. He
closed every note with "Love, Ned" and then sealed it up, placed a heart stamp in the top of the
envelope, and brought it out to the mailbox. Cookie laughed at him for this routine.
"Love sickness is a horrible way to spend time. You need to spend your time doing things that
are more productive, other than just writing sick love notes every day to Moze. Perhaps, you
could spend that time, oh, I don't know, with your other best friend?" Cookie looked at Ned
hopefully. Ned sighed. He really wanted to go back inside and stay out of the sun, so he was not
sun burnt when Moze got home. He could just imagine her laugh when she saw him. Although he
thought maybe that would not be too bad. He grinned as he thought more of her laugh, then heard a cough. Cookie was watching him.
"Hello! Earth to Ned! Get out of your mind and over to the water park in fifteen minutes! I will be
counting!" Ned blinked, then turned and walked into his home to go get ready. Cookie did make
a valid point. He was making his own summer miserable because he was pining over Moze being
away. He needed to have some fun in the sun before there was no time or sun to have fun in.
He could just not take his mind off Moze since, on the day she was leaving for Florida, she told
him that she loved him then kissed him. Of all the times they had kissed, this one had really
meant something. Then she left. But before she did, Ned promised to write to her every day.
Close your eyes, and I'll kiss you
Tomorrow I'll miss you
Remember I'll always be true
And then while I'm away
I'll write home every day.
And I'll send all my loving to you
Author's Note: Not my best, I just had the idea so I decided to try and work off of it. I already have the second chapter written as well!
