Dear Sarah* ,
Its weird to ask you this after so many years but still, how are you so far? It has been ages since we last talked. In fact, if my memory doesn’t fail me i believe the last time we spoke was when we were in primary 4.
I can still remember the accident like it just happened yesterday. We actually fought over befriending April or not? I feel really dumb now and I really miss talking to you and hanging out with you. In the past, everyday after school I would go over to your house, which is just next to my block and your mom would have a really unhappy face. I know she hates me! Blame it on the fact that you were so fun to be with.
I would play with your toys, your Barbie doll (which we would always end up having a fight), Cycling around the coffee shop and teasing your little sister. Sometimes when we quarrel, both of you would even gang up to bully me, which always makes me run home crying. And sometimes vice versa.The only thing different would be you, chasing me home. Nevertheless, the next day in school there would be the cold war between us but it will then all return to normal after a few days. But after splitting into different classes, we only spoke when we occasionally bump into each other in school. You would have your own circle of friends and so would I.
Anyway, I know you are still living the block next to me, since my mom’s always saying she bumped into your mom at the market. But I am always bumping into your sister and not you.
If time could turn back, I wished I wasn’t so narrow minded back than. We could have still remained friends til now. I heard from Mom, who heard from your mom ,that you aren’t doing too well in your studies. Buck up and don’t disappoint your parents!
The best of luck my dearest friend.
Once your truest friend,
Ellis
