How do you do? I’m watching The Oscars in the living room right now, did you watch them?
I started public school almost two weeks ago. It’s horrible! So horrible! I haven’t learned a thing the entire time, I’m so exhausted and stressed and don’t feel motivated to do anything anymore. Do you know about the Stanford prison experiment? This thing where they make us put our phones in containers numbered according to our seats, and the numbered seats in general, really resonated with a part of that experiment. It had to do with people being seen as numbers rather than people. I recommend you google it, it’s very interesting.
I hope it’s better at your school. Like, this isn’t what Taylor Swift told us would happen, where are the senior boys who wink at me and say ‘you know I haven’t seen you around before’? I feel cheated. But I’m allowed to leave once I make friends, but that’s hard, I’m not as socially adept as you. You are a social butterfly, and I am a social worm, hiding in the dirt. Have you made many new friends since the last time I saw you? I hope you have.
I love you and miss you. I miss you and the life we lived together. We have a lot of your things from storage, and we’re going to give them back as soon as possible. Remember the necklace you found on the street years ago that I stole? I still have it, and I’m sorry. All I want is for it to be returned, it’s rightfully yours.
With love,
Alice
