very
best
to
make
sure
that
he
and
I
redeem
ourselves
so
that
we
can
walk

down
the
road
with
our
heads
held
high.

Love,

Dear
Alex,

That
was
a
weird
letter.
I
don’t
know
what
it
ment
but
mum
says
that

Toby
is
even
worse
than
all
the
things
you
said.
But
she
was
laughing
when

she
read
the
letter
so
I
don’t
no
if
she
means
it.
I
don’t
think
Toby
is
that
bad.

You
two
are
weirdoes.

Love,

Katie

Dear
Toby,

It’s
Alex
here
(Katie’s
mum’s
friend
from
America).

I
heard
that
you’re
going
to
be
ten
next
week,
happy
birthday!
I
no
you

probably
think
that
me
writing
to
you
is
really
weird
but
I
heard
that
you

didn’t
invite
Katie
to
your
party
and
I
couldn’t
believe
my
ears.

Katie
is
your
best
friend!
I
no
for
a
fact
that
your
party
won’t
be
much

fun
without
Katie
there.
It
happened
to
me
before.
I
no
that
you
will
be

watching
the
door
like
a
hawk,
just
hoping
that
she
will
walk
into
the
room

so
you
can
enjoy
yourself.
Who
cares
if
your
best
friend
is
a
girl?
Who
cares

if
the
other
guys
laugh?
At
least
you
have
a
best
friend
and
trust
me
on
this,

it’s
really
hard
to
live
your
life
without
a
best
friend
especially
if
you’re
in

boring
school
with
Ms.
Big
Nose
Casey
giving
out
to
you
all
day.
If
you
don’t

invite
Katie
then
you
will
really
hurt
her
feelings
and
that’s
not
very
nice.

It’s
the
best
thing
in
the
world
to
have
a
best
friend—even
if
she
is
a
girl.

Let
me
no
how
you
get
on.

Alex

PS:
Hope
you
can
buy
something
nice
for
yourself
with
this

present
.

KNOW
not
NO

Your
mum’s
friend
spells
“know”
wrong
just
like
you.
He
says
NO

instead
of
KNOW.
By
the
way,
do
you
wanna
come
to
my
party
next
week?

Very
clever,
Mr.
Stewart,
but
you
haven’t
quite
redeemed
yourself
yet.

We
Dunne
women
are
pretty
hard
to
please,
you
know

Woman

So
I
see.
You’re
a
done
woman
alright.
Well,
I
have
a
theory
that
I
wish

to
share
with
you.
Shall
I?
