I'm glad you found this note on your window seal. You may be confused, but before you crumple this note up and trash it, please listen. I heard that you are unlike the others. I heard that you are understanding, caring, and a good listener. I hope this is true, because you are the only person I can talk to. My name is Spencer. That's all I can tell you. You don't really know me, and I don't really know you. So we can start off like this! We can be pen pals, aside from the fact that I didn't put a return address. But, I heard you were a good listener, so I figured you would be okay with me telling you about myself. Like a journal, that only you get to read. I just want to talk to somebody out there who understands, like you do.

Dear friend,

Today at school was very usual. I made a 98 on my Geometry test, and all the other core subjects were filled with lectures and yawns. My theatre arts class was great, as usual. I only wish that somebody would sit with me at the long, black table I sit alone at. We are doing a pantomime project, where you act without talking. It will be great! I think I might act or dance to an Angels and Airwaves song. I like them a lot. Anyways, the rest of the day was boring. Ate my peanut butter and jelly sandwich in lunch and finished the school day with a boring session of World Geography. I really do like history, but I just hate geographic history. Plates sliding together just doesn't amuse me. But what amuses  anybody in school? Except health and biology class when you get into Chapter 17: Human Anatomy, I hope that's self-explainable. So, I got home, swept the kitchen and the bathroom, then scrubbed down the bathtub. Not fun at all, but I had to do it. I went to my room and did all my English homework. That's the one class I am in that's Pre-AP. I guess it's because I'm a good essay writer, I don't know. Now I sit here on the front porch, writing this note looking down the roads that lead to your house. My parents don't know that I sneak out my window around 2:00 AM to bring you these notes. I would get murdered if they found out. Anyways, it's almost 9:00 and I need to go take a shower and get ready for school tomorrow. Help me.

Dearly and Sincerely,

Spencer Cooper
