THE LETTER
The chill of the snowy air had become more apparent as his body gave another involuntary shiver. While the post office wasn't that far by truck, on foot it had been more of a trek then Ezekiel had originally thought. Dragging the now empty sled behind him, the homeschooler wearily trudged up yet another hill.
For most people navigating a simple yet bumpy dirt road in the middle of the forest just to get to a few farms and homes in the middle of nowhere had as expected not been the ideal of most people. To the few who lived there it was home.
Climbing up the next hill, Ezekiel let his thoughts wander. Before the fiasco that was called Total Drama Island, Ezekiel had been more then content to just continue his homeschooling in peace and to watch the outside world from afar.
"Stoopid D deficiency." Ezekiel grouched before a relieved smile replaced the frown. Ignoring the exhaustion of his body, he forced himself to run full tilt down the final hill, the sight of his family farm propelling him forward.
********
Slamming the front door shut, Ezekiel proceeded to stomp his snow covered boots on the welcome mat. "Ezekiel hon?" Not expecting the sudden call of his mother, Ezekiel had almost fallen over as he tried to take off his boots. "Coming Mom!" Ezekiel called out hopping around as he quickly tried to remove the stubborn footwear.
The brunette haired woman smiled as her only child entered the kitchen. "Ezekiel you goot a letter eh!" As her son took the letter, the woman continued. "Georgina in the main office found it this morning eh. She gave it to me when she saw yoor name in the corner."
Ezekiel nodded. "Thanks mom." He said quickly before leaving the kitchen, his eyes still glued to the letter. Unlike the letters that accompanied his workbooks and videos, this one had been addressed to his mother's school. His name had been written in big letters on the bottom left corner. Without saying a word he slowly opened it.
First off Homeschool let's make things clear. If you show this to ANYONE you are so going to get it! EVA will be the LAST of your worries when I get done with you! GOT IT!
Now that you understand I'll continue.
Thanks of course for the sweet plates. It's a nice change from all that juvy food. Oh and Awesome job with the metal work. Yeah I know you did it…the copyright EZ on the inside gave it away. As in how I spotted it? Well let's just say I have an eye for detail. Too bad my parole officer won't let me have it right now…RATS! I could have used it!
MY Princess also received your package and yes she thanks you too, but more importantly she really likes those lemon tree things of yours and I mean REALLY LIKES. And it's not just her! Apparently her mom likes them too which means WE have a problem!
Since Princess told her Mom that I made those treats, I can visit her now. Which normally would be awesome! Only I have to bring those lemon things with me…which by the way is kind of hard to do when I don't even know how to make them in the first place!
So as much as I hate to resort to this…
Please of Please can you give me the recipe for those yellow trees? I mean do you know how hard it is to impress Courtney's parents?!! If it takes me learning a cooking recipe to get me in good with the folks I'll do it! So please oh please of please! I'll even let bygones be bygones if you just give me the recipe!
Oh yeah and Merry Christmas and Happy Whatever
Duncan
Ezekiel had stared adamantly at Duncan's letter, reading rereading and rerereading the piece of paper over and over again. The homeschooler's expression was unreadable as he thought long and hard. Finally he sighed. "Hooliday Spirit eh." Ezekiel mumbled as he grabbed a nearby pen. "Hooliday Spirit."
