Dear Mary,
I know you must be surprised to be getting a letter from me after nothing in five months, especially since I freaked out so badly the last time we were together. I just wasn't ready when you started to kiss me, especially when I started to kiss you back. I'd never kissed another girl before, and although I had fantasized about kissing you, I just wasn't ready then. I know you must have been mad at me for not talking to you then or afterward, and ruining our graduation and all, and I'm really sorry.
So, now you must really be wondering why I'm writing to you now. Well, that's because of what happened this weekend. I can hardly believe it, and if I don't tell someone soon I'm going to burst, and I know you won't freak out when I tell you, which all of our other friends would. So, here's the story.
I was back on campus to see Laurie. She broke up with that rotten Steve and was all down and depressed, and she invited me to come up for the weekend so we could have a long cry together. I got there Friday afternoon and she was still in class, so I was just sort of wandering around looking at things.
I had left the Quad and was walking toward the used bookstore and this car pulls up and out leans this girl I knew a little, I think she was in my bio class two years ago but I don't remember her name. She's in the back of this little limo with another girl I don't know but she's really pretty and friendly, and in the front are two other girls, one driving and the other videotaping everything. She calls me, "Hi, Heather!"
"Hi, um..."
"Jenny. We were in the same lab group for that experiment in bio, remember?"
"Oh, yeah, I remember. With Mary and ..." I really can't remember her name.
"Lisa. That's her videotaping in the front. She's doing her senior video project, and just sort of following us around while we do our thing today. This is Nancy, by the way, and that's Sam driving"
I look, and Lisa does look familiar, but it's two years ago and I didn't know them all that well even then. Nancy gives me a sweet, dazzling smile, and I instantly know we're going to be friends.
