Hey y'all. I was really happy with the couple reviews I got for this, even though the first chapters was just sort of an introduction type thing.
PS If someone can tell me how to PM someone, I'll dedicate you a one shot or something, because I have NO idea how to :). Gracias!
Hi Julia,
I know I promised I'd write again but it's the end of the school year and stuff has been crazy. We had the spring dance (which of course I didn't go to, but I helped set up), I had a speech competition in Hamilton, and we just finished final exams. Finals had seemed kind of tough last year but now they're not quite so hard. Not that you ever go to take them…
Anyway, I was talking to my parents today and they said they were thinking about moving during the summer. I'm going to end up changing schools mid-high school career, but I think it's for the best. They put up a big memorial at Bardell for you. There are pictures of you all around a giant "We miss you, Julia!" sign. They put up pictures of you, of you and me, of when you were little and your naturally blonde hair wasn't dyed yet. I remember how you would always ask me whether I liked you more as a blonde or with black hair.
I always said black because I knew it would make you happy. You had always hated your blonde hair and had told me so on many occasions. But really, I thought you were beautiful either way. Even on the first day of freshman year, when I saw you arguing with that office lady about your schedule, I thought you were so pretty. Then when I found out you were in my Algebra and Honors Grade Nine English classes, I was ecstatic. And you wanted nothing to do with me.
But I worked at it. And we eventually became friends. I think you always knew I wanted more from the relationship than just friends. Then, when we were hanging out under the slide at the playground, you leaned in and kissed me. Our first kiss was, in my opinion, one of the most romantic experiences I'd ever had. And probably ever will.
Julia, it sucks that you're gone and I don't think I'll ever get over it. You'll always be my first and only love.
I love you,
Eli
