To Protect the Innocent

Dear Friend,
Yes, it’s me again. You’re probably wondering why I decided
to pick up the pen and write to you after almost two years. Well, a lot has
happened since those little entries I used to write about Miguel and Luis. For
one I am now 17 years old and a senior ready to graduate from C. A. M. S. in ≈ 2
weeks. Remember how many times I told you
I got Fs in geometry, not anymore. I’m in calculus and getting a B. I
already went through the tedious rigorous task of applying to college. To my
dismay I didn’t get into my #1, best of all, dream school Stanford (by the way
that’s where Gaby goes). I didn't take this very lightly, I was depressed and
almost cried my eyes out. In the long run I had to choose between Occidental
and UCLA….I’m a Bruin! I’m pretty anxious about the whole thing, college and
all. I’ve worked at Honda Motors in the past and I plan to do the same thing
this summer. I’ve also become an auntie one of the best things that's happened
to me all year (1-20-94).
I’ve also become very close with my 3 best friends Sasha,
Yolanda and Linda. We share everything and tell each other all the secrets (I think). Since the end of 10th
grade I’ve been seeing this guy named Ignacio. We had this weird thing, it all
started when he began to write anonymous love letters to me. When we did get together I spent most of the
time trying to avoid him. We broke up twice and the last time was not on
friendly terms, I told him off big time. Ironically he’ll be working at the
same place as me this summer. We (at least I am) are very comfortable being
open and honest in all matters. It’s been 3 years (school years) since I
started anything with him and strangely enough I still have some strong and
very passionate feelings for him. We’ve been through a lot, I’ve eaten my words
and eventually he has eaten me. I know it sounds rather crude but that is exactly
what he did.
