Dear Melba,2

I finally drew that picture you wanted me to. The eyes look kinda weird, but I think it came out pretty nice. You should draw a picture and send it to me too. (I've enclosed the picture with the letter)4

I hope school is going better for you then me.
I've been called: Freak, Weird, Weirdo, Lesbo, asked if I was a Lesbian, and stupid. Those are pretty small, but 10 or more diffrent people have called me the first three. And you know what?--
They do it because of my manga.
Appearently anyone who reads them is weird. Some kids took by Chobits book and threw it in the sink, then walked off.
I don't think they knew it wasn't on.5

I'm sorry to say this, but--
Cheese died yesterday.
I watched her die, she was kind of hacking, choking, but I knew that I couldn't save her. Poor rat....
We digged him a grave in the back, but today Dixie dug the box up and I think she opened it. My dad had to dig her anoher grave in the front, right outside my window.
The only thing I did for two hours after was sit in my bed with the lights turnd off listening to K.K. Slider's music.6

Sincerly, and always with you,
