Dear Scott,

Hey, it's me, Sherry! How have you been? I got your letter two days after you left, and I was so happy to see it! It made me feel happy to see that you (might) stick to your promise on writing to me.

Yesterday, I had to do a speech for my French class, and since Mom's boyfriend helped me practice the night before, I passed it with an A! My teacher was very impressed.

I'm sorry that Mom made you leave early. I know she didn't want to, and I didn't want you to either, but I guess you and me really don't get a say in things since we're the youngest.

School will be ending in about three weeks! Thank God! I'm getting so tired of staring at the back of Ollie Bramble's head during class. He never takes a bath, so he kind of smells.

Guess what? Samuel and his girlfriend Annette are getting married next month, and I get to be a bridesmaid. Mom and her boyfriend are taking me to get my bridesmaid dress because Annette wants me to pick out the dresses (she says that she would pick out something gaudy, but I don't think its true). The wedding is going to be a small one, though. Samuel told me that you wouldn't have time to come down to the wedding, so I guess you won't miss out on much.

I can't wait to see what you write to me next!

With all my love,

Sherry

Dear Scott,

We just got back from Samuel's wedding, and it was kind of boring. Weird, huh? I thought that Samuel would have known that weddings are supposed to be fun, but he must be an alien or something. The food wasn't bad, though.

Mom's boyfriend kept on telling me that I was "très mignon", which means "very cute" in French, but I think he was just trying to be nice. I got a zit on my face the night before the wedding, and I was trying so badly to cover it up. He told me that it wasn't noticeable. Yeah right.

But, he did ask me to dance with him during the Father/Daughter dance. It wasn't bad. He let me stand on his feet since I can't dance, and he was nice about it. I thought I saw Mom crying and taking pictures of us. I'll have to burn them when I find them.

Just so you know, I hope that you'll send me a present on my birthday. Just in case you forgot (I doubt that you did), my birthday is on July 20th. I'll be seventeen!

Mom's boyfriend said that he's taking all of us to Paris for a week to take a vacation from Boston. I hope that he doesn't make me eat duck liver or snails. I'd rather starve.

Looking forward to your letters!

With love,

Sherry

Dear Scott,

Hey, sorry that I couldn't write to you for a while! Mom has been busy trying to get me some new school clothes for the school year coming up next week (Nooooo!) and it's been hard because I keep on growing taller.

Yesterday, Mom's boyfriend told us his name! His name is Emile! How weird! It feels weird getting to call him Emile instead of "Mom's boyfriend". He stillwon't take off his mask and gloves for us. I guess his burns are really bad.

Also, thank you once again for the really cool dog tags! I like how you put my name on them and everything! Mom won't let me wear them to school, though.

I think that Emile is going to ask Mom to marry him. I don't know if it's true or not. You never know, right?

See you later, Scott!

With love,

Sherry

Dear Scott,

Today, Dean Ingleside asked me to go with him to the Halloween dance tomorrow! I'm so excited! I'm not dressing up in a costume, though; Halloween costumes are for little kids, and I'm not a little kid!

Emile is making me pack some pepper-spray in my purse! I don't know why, but he insists that I take it with me. He acts like Dean is a rapist or something!

Samuel and Annette just told us some news; Annette is pregnant. She says that she is due sometime in June or July. She hopes it's a boy, and Samuel hopes that it's a girl. I don't really care, either way; just so long as they're happy, I guess. Also, I reeeeeally don't hope that it's born on my birthday; I've had to share everything with everybody, and I don't want to share my birthday.

With love,

Sherry


December 1st

Dear Scott,

I can't wait to see you at Christmas this year! Mom says that she'll be picking you up from the bus station on the 15th, and that you won't go back to work until after New Years! I'm so excited! I already got your present wrapped up! I'm not telling you what it is, though!

Emile is kind of excited about Christmas at our house. He says that he never really celebrated Christmas, and he got kind of happy when he saw Mom taking all of the decorations out of the attic.

Don't tell Emile, but I knit him a scarf for Christmas! I used the same color of red that matches his suit that he wears all the time. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he opens up my gift on Christmas morning!

See you when you get here!

With love,

Sherry.
