Hello (Dear is too formal) Rachel (Diamond),
My mom got this beautiful diamond necklace the other day, reminded me of you...I didn't write though, kind of nervous I guess. We are living in Texas now. My family hadn't moved in like...200 years, and now because of me we've moved three times in 4 years! I go to the same high school as Blaze. It's awful the way you're being treated. I'm glad we moved, if we had stayed in New York all of the kids would pick fights with me, thinking I was tough...here...kids are respectful of me, they think I might hurt them I think. I have friends. I don't really hang out with anyone but Blaze (I still call her that) outside of school though. I wrote a letter to Zigzag a while ago...he hasn't written back. Its been 8 months since Camp Green Lake today! Camp Green Lake gave me a type of individualist feeling, even though it was one of the worst experiences of my life. I think I really learned something. I know that sounds corny, but it's true. What happened to Teddy was awful, try not to blame yourself though. I've done some researching on Teddy. I found out that she was a suspect in a murder, and that she had been suicidal for a while. Nothing that happened to Teddy was your fault. I was really reclusive the first couple of months, but my research really helped me feel better. I also did some research on suicide. I've joined a suicidal teens group, I'm a counselor! It really makes me feel better to listen to some of those stories, it's like...I realize that anything I've ever been through is small to their problems you know? I know that is really corny. I've gotten accepted to a college in the same town that Magnet lives in. He is a year older than me though, by the time I'm in college he'll probably be gone. Well, my mom is trying to drag me off for some school shopping, I'm going to go sneak out of the window, so I don't have to go. Write back!
Sincerely,
Thorne
