Christy found out she has mono. She's out for almost the entire soccer season. And you know what? She was devastated and pissed off but instead of having people feel sorry for her she bought ME flowers and a card. Her last year of soccer is gone and all she cares about is me?
Megan told Bobby that I spent an entire day locked in my bedroom and he stuck a dandelion in my hair and took me to Wendy's to get a Frosty and talk things out.
Shane came down for Homecoming and somehow got me to vent everything I was keeping to myself. Things I hadn't told anyone about the family situation. I got a letter in the mail from him today and this is some of what it said:
At the oddest times I find my thoughts shifting toward you. Maybe that's not something worth telling you. I've often felt that you might be happier to have little or no connection to me anymore. But your bluntness, your evasiveness, your inconsistency...they've all been weirdly appealing since our first coffee together. The truth is that I miss your energy and your sense of humor, your interest in things, and your spontaneity. As much or more than I've missed the same in other people. You're different though because those qualities are much more intense and brightly defined in you. In short, I imagine you have a boyfriend and a dozen other guys knocking on your door; I'm not asking for a chance to stand in their shoes, but I'm also not above admitting that it might be nice. I write to you then mostly to say that I think of you unavoidably and you're special to me because there's no honest or sensible way around it. Even after months away from you--half a year too, in the company of another girl-- you continue, for what it's worth, to have and odd pull and affect on me.
I can't ever decide whether to be happy or sad. Beau's cutesy pet name for me is "Happy." He says that when I'm happy, I'm so happy but when I'm sad that calling me Happy makes me smile (because of the irony I guess).
I have good friends.

This is going to be an up and down time. There is no way around that. I'm really glad you have Beau and I like him even better that your friends find you such an odd couple. That's your style Krys. I think it's unfair that your Nina is calling you for help over something like this. Your parents need time right now. Keep your head up,it just takes time.
