Dear Maria,

I'm so excited! It's only less than a week till I have to get the train! I've never taken the train alone!

Yeah, me and Tom are quite close. I added him on facebook after you told me about him. WHOS A STALKER?! Me. I don't really mind though. I see what you mean, he is so sweet! And not that bad a looker (we face-timed a lot during the Christmas break, you know, when you refused to come visit?)

I packed all the jewellery I could find, but if I don't bring the thing you're looking for it obviously means you've lost it. Or mom's taken it. I'm not asking her. She's doing the thing again. The stare into the distance with glassy eyes again. You don't think she's started again, do you?

Can't wait to see you again! I really think this birthday is going to be the best birthday ever! 3

Fi.
