Hey Emma,

First off, I just want to tell you how happy I am that you responded. I literally wanted to forget all about me sending you that email, because it just felt downright weird right after I hit send. I guess now, I didn't do a weird thing(did I?)

And, I gotta say, you're going to be fun to talk to. Your letter was equally nice to read. You got a really good sense of humor, and that's nice to know. I won't have to explain my (terrible) jokes to you, I hate doing that shit. It ruins everything for me. 

I'm not gonna tell you how I got to know your Instagram. That's something that you'll have to live with. 

Closet writer, huh?  Do you specialise in poetry or something, because the second line ( I think it was the second) of your letter actually rhymed. I can't rhyme to save my life, no matter how hard I try. 

I don't want to say anything about your hurtful comments on noodles. I don't want anything to ruin something that hasn't even begun, so I'll forget about that. 

(Though that mentality of yours has got to change, asap)

I am 17, and I'm no stalker. You're actually the first person I decided to research on, in all my years of tech knowledge. I dunno why, and will prolly never know, but I was particularly drawn to you. That's why I had to talk to you, no matter what. 

Again, I'm 17 years old, not some old weirdo that's into little girls for whatever fantasies he might have. Please. 

You kinda scared me with the whole pet tiger thing. That's not normal at all, and confusingly, that makes me want to talk to you even more. Does that mean I'm weird, because I should be running in the other direction, instead of towards you. 

( Also, if you do get a tiger, tell me all about him (or her) and how your tiger has scared people shitless. I love to have a good laugh.)

And it's nice to know that I'm not the only one with an irrational fear of dolls. I'm not exactly jumpy at the sight of them, it's just that they're creepy. I don't get how kids actually like playing with them. 

You saw Chucky as a little girl? Is it safe to assume that you're a horror freak too? We could be soul mates, I'm just saying. I mean, I was right about the fact that you didn't keep dolls, along with all the other stuff, wasn't I? It's like I know you without even knowing anything about you. 

Okay, I'm being weird again. Its like I'm coming on too strong. I'm just speaking my mind, honestly.

I'm in total disagreement about us not being alike. But then again, I could be wrong. I doubt it though 

About you scaring people away, I don't want to talk about this much, because we're only just talking for the first time. Or the second, since this is the second letter you're getting from me. So, I'll leave it at that. If eventually, we get to talk more often, then I'll definitely bring up this topic. 

You can count on that. 

I guess I've covered just about everything I should tell you. 

And, if you don't mind, I'd like us to get to know each other better. You already know my name and last name, and I don't think middle names matter, so I won't tell you my middle name. And you know my age too. Well, I'm a junior at my school( that should've been obvious too). And like every other testosterone filled human being, I'm into sports. Track and football, to be precise. 

And remember that thing about me not being a nerd...that might've been a white lie. I'm a straight A student too. Hopefully, I get to be a psychologist, or a lawyer. I'm not one of those guys who solely depend on their athletic skills to get into college( I don't see anything wrong with that, though). I play football because...it beckons to me. And I run because it helps clear my mind. 

Like I said before, I'm terrible at rhyming, so I can't write shit. Writing is something I don't ever see myself excelling at, no matter how hard I try. I mean, look at the cheesy letters I send you. 

( I smacked my forehead again. I hope this isn't going to be a regular thing for me). 

And I have a little assignment for you. Tell me a bit about yourself as well, and we'll keep going from there. 

I hope to get an email from you soon, Emma. 

And, I'm not really scared of dolls... I said that in hopes that you'd laugh. 

P.S: I guess I'll be Nate to you then. And your logic is clearly based off of books. 

Nate.
