Chapter 16
2 months after Kandy left
Squid's P.O.V
"He left!" Squid asked as Mom told all the boys of D-tent what had happened to their tent mate Caveman.
"Yup, he left to go after Zero we think." With that Mom left the tent to let the boys talk.
Squid was a little worried about the boys but didn't want to show it. "Oh man! There Buzzard food!"
"Yah, they're dead!" Zigzag said with a goofy expression.
Kandy has been gone for two months. Only 60 days but it seems like 60 years. Her letters make me feel good and the poem she wrote for me was amazing. I knew she loved to write but I never knew she was that good at it. I still can't help but think about the day when I see her again. I don't know when that will be though because she lives in Missouri. I live in New York. I told her that when I visit my relatives out there I would come and see her but I have never been out there before. Telling Kandy that I would probably not see her for a long time was too long so I filled her head with false images of what it would be like when we were together again.
That will never happen. You're so stupid Squid for falling in love with her. She is so much better than you. She is so pretty and such an amazing person. She probably only likes you because you were there. She probably has had a lot of boyfriends already.
I still can't help but think about her. I do love her and the day I see her I will hug her and kiss her and tell her that I love her.
