Moonbeam!

It’s
not
because
I
hate
Bethany
that
I’m
not
seeing
much
of
you
(although
I

do
hate
her),
it’s
just
that
I
think
Bethany
dislikes
me
just
a
little.
It
could
have

something
to
do
with
the
fact
that
a
friend
of
hers
told
her
what
I
wrote
about

her
in
that
(not
so)
private
instant
messaging
thingy
in
computer
class
last

year
.
.
.
I
don’t
think
she
liked
being
called
a
slut,
I
don’t
know
why
.
.
.
some

women
are
just
funny
like
that.
But
I
suppose
you
already
know
that
she’d

heard
what
I
said
that
day.
(Speaking
of
computer
class,
Mr.
Simpson
got
mar-

ried
this
summer,
I’m
gutted.
I’ll
never
look
at
excel
in
the
same
way
again.)

Anyway
it’s
your
birthday
soon!
You
have
finally
reached
the
grand
old

age
of
18!
Want
to
go
out
and
do
some
legal
celebrating?
(Well,
legal
for
you

anyway)
Let
me
know.

PS:
Please
STOP
calling
me
Buttercup!

18th
Birthday

Rosie,
Good
to
hear
you’re
alive
after
all,
I
was
beginning
to
worry!
I

would
love
to
celebrate
my
18th
with
you
but
Bethany’s
parents
are
taking

me
and
my
parents
out
for
dinner
to
the
Hazel.
How
posh
is
that??!

Sorry
Rosie,
another
night
definitely.

love,
rosie

DISASTER!

I
can’t
believe
this
is
happening!
I
was
just
talking
to
your
mum;
called

over
for
a
chat
and
she
told
me
the
bad
news.
I
can’t
believe
it,
this
is
the

worst
news
ever
!
Please
call
me
when
you
can,
your
boss
keeps
telling
me

you
can’t
take
calls
during
working
hours—QUIT!
Mr.
I
never
EVER
want

to
work
in
an
office.

Get
in
touch
with
me
as
soon
as
you
can,
this
is
so
terrible,
I
feel
awful!
