Dear Friend,

Sorry I haven't sent a letter in the past six days. I haven't been very focused because I've been thinking about Gokudera and Yamamoto. They had a fight a few days ago and they still haven't made up, which worries me. I don't know what the fight was about, but I really want to help them. I know I can't do anything though because I'm still an outsider to their group and their friendship and I don't want to interfere because I might make it worse, knowing how no good I am.

My birthday is in two weeks and I'm not sure how to feel about it. I've always celebrated my birthday with my mom, Giotto, Enma, and his sister Mami, but we won't be able to this year. Now that I have more friends I'm not sure if I should tell them about it. Things are kind of tense between everyone and I've been keeping my distance since I don't know how to help them. I honestly would like them to celebrate it with me but…like I said, things are currently tense. Maybe it will all work out before my birthday and we can celebrate both Gokudera and Yamamoto making up and my birthday.

Even though I said I was keeping my distance, I should probably say I've been keeping my distance from most of them. Yamamoto has been hanging around me a lot more these days. I don't mind it. In fact, I kind of like it. Being with him is fun, even though sometimes there may be an awkward silence for a minute or two. He's usually quick to remedy that, though, and I feel very comfortable with him. I'm not sure how to explain what I feel around him. This may sound weird, but what I feel around his is similar to how I felt around Kyoko, though it's…stronger? I'm sure that isn't right, though. Either way, being around his is nice. I hope Gokudera doesn't get mad at me for hogging all of his time.

I've been doing better in my classes, which is awesome. My science teacher even complimented me for doing better. I really like my science teacher, she's nice and she was the only teacher in the beginning of the year to not call me Dame-Tsuna. I also like Dino, as long as Romario is there. Then, he can actually do stuff. When Romario isn't there he gets lost and has no idea what he's actually saying. He also trips a lot, which is kind of funny to watch. I shouldn't laugh because I trip almost as much as he does, but I still do. He seems to take the laughs in stride and it makes me not feel as bad about it.

Nothing else has really been going on. Sorry my letter seems so short today.

Love always,

Tsuna
