A/N: We just wanted to let you guys know that there's no Ashley/Kyla romance in this story. Ashley had a thing for Kyla at the beginning of their friendship (years ago), but today there are nothing but friendly feelings between them.

Chapter 5: The First Day of My Life

From: TrojansNotNeeded
To: adhasnovds
Subject: Application for friend

Name: I know this sounds ridiculous but I can't tell you my real name. I'm a superhero and I must preserve my secret identity. But if you want to call me something, you can call me Bradshaw.

Age: Eighteen years old and fully legal to vote. You can expect me to get my ass out there and make sure that those homicidal closet cases called Republicans don't get back in office.

Appearance: Well, I'm blonde but don't let that fool you. I have my moments like everyone else but I'm pretty smart and I'm class president. I have blue eyes but they aren't the amazing Caribbean blue that you see. They're more of a gray raincloud before a thunderstorm blue.

Height: About 5'7'' I'm pretty average in the height department. Though I have no idea why height would matter in a friendship.

Weight: Okay I know that doesn't matter. And who would actually admit their weight?!

Favorite Movie: This is vaguely reminiscent of my profile survey? But I'd have to say that my favorite movie of all time is Jaws. But DEBS is a close second.

Favorite Food: Well, I really like Indian Tacos. I guess the PC term for it would be Native American Tacos? They're so amazing. These things are made on fried bread, like the kind they use for funnel cakes and they have seasoned beef and all of the toppings on them. It looks almost like a little taco cake but I can never say no.

Worst Habit: Oh this is really embarrassing but it's probably okay to tell you since the odds that we'll ever see each other face to face are slim. I have this old blanket from my baby days and when I'm alone in my room trying to fall asleep I take the binding in between my fingers and press down on it until it makes a crunching noise. I've always done it and I've never really been able to break it.

If you were an animal: I would be a bird. Maybe a hawk of some kind, but I would totally be a vegetarian hawk. The thought of ripping the head off of an innocent little mouse is just a little upsetting. But I would love to fly away from here sometimes.

What would we do on a Friday night: Well, this is all about me changing myself for the better. Usually on Friday nights, I'm with my boyfriend and our friends at some party that we convinced a freshman loser to throw. But reading your profile, I feel like you and I could just completely lay around in my room and watch Mean Girls, while talking about how hot Janice is in that super weird way. I don't know, I just feel like I could be relaxed around you and I don't relax around anyone. Maybe that's wrong to say about someone I've never met.

It's my birthday what do we do: Well first off, if you are my age, we're going out to breakfast at Midnight. It's a tradition that I will never abandon, and I do it for all of my friends. Sometimes it's the only one on one time I get with them. And then the entire day would be about you, depending on whether or not you're a party person I would throw you one or not. It just depends on who you are really but midnight breakfast at the Pancake House on I-40 isn't negotiable.

Why should I be your friend: Honestly? It isn't because I deserve it, in fact I've done some pretty fucked up things to people in the past and I don't deserve anyone's decency, but that doesn't change the fact that I do need someone. Someone that has more experience to just listen and help me figure out this mess I'm in. I mean its killing me inside and I can be a pretty good listener too. I just think we would make great friends, I think maybe you could help me be a better person.

Hey there, I know the survey thing was a little weird but I wasn't sure how to just stand out from the average friendship seeking web crawler. But I did this search for people in my area of Los Angeles and your profile came up and I couldn't help but notice that you seem really funny and genuine. You also seem to care for your friends and I like that. I need more of that in my life, sometimes I wonder if my friends just stick around because we're afraid that without each other we won't be as popular or what. But anyway, enough of my tangents. I thought I would write you and say hi, see if you would email me back.

Anxiously awaiting your reply to know that you don't think I'm crazy,
Bradshaw.
