You're starting to look different. Not bad, just different. Your hair is longer and wavy, it always smells so good. You're face isn't as round as it used to be, you look a little older now. But you still have the freckles scatted on your nose and you still hate dresses. We still hang out in our castle a lot. We are in middle school now and though we still go to school with a lot of the same people, there are a lot of new people too. I don't like how other boys notice you now. It doesn't seem like you notice them at all though and it makes me happy. We still hold hands a lot and we still hang out with our little group. Today we are all going to the mall and then the movies. We walk around the mall looking in different stores. You, Alice, and Rose huddle together and whisper. We may not be walking close but I always have an eye on you. We get to the food court and I stand in line to order our food. I get you your favorite sub and a soda. We all sit down to eat and chat away. Me and the boys are starting the football team this year. You girls decided to join the cheerleading squad. I like that you want to cheer me on, but I also worry because you are so clumsy. I don't want you to break anything. We catch the new vampire movie you wanted to see and you enjoy it. We hold hands through the whole movie and I enjoy that. My mom picks us up and takes you home. I know you still miss your mom and it makes me sad too. Later that week I look for you in the lunch room, but you are not at our table. I'm worried when no one knows where you are. When the bell rings I rush home and call out for my mom. I need to find you. But you are there with my mom and you don't look happy. I ask what's wrong and you run out the front door. My mom tells me that sometimes girls need alone time and I shouldn't bother you. I find out the next day from Alice that you started your period. When Alice announces this you turn red and start to cry. I give her a mean look and pull you out of the lunch room. I don't think she meant to hurt your feelings. I tell you not to worry about it, that it's normal. We leave school and go to our castle, just the two of us. You don't feel like doing anything so we lay there and you read to me. I'm happy that you chose to read me the book I bought you last week, Where the Sidewalk Ends. The poetry is silly and it makes you laugh and forget about your problem. It gets dark and I walk you home. I hope for a kiss when we get to your house, but I don't get one. It has been awhile since you kissed me last. But you still make me smile when you turn at your door and yell "Sweet dreams Edward".
