Story: The Black Flamingo

Dear Rowan, I’ve liked you for so long.

You’re always so smiley.

You seem so carefree.

I don’t know you very well but I really like what I see.

I like your ginger hair, your freckles.

You’re cool but kind of goofy.

You’re so confident in drama.

I wish we had more classes together.

Maybe we would know each other better.

In drama we’re always pretending to be someone else.

Maybe that’s school in general? I don’t want to pretend with you.

I like you.

Although I don’t really know you, I’d like to.

So please write back or tell me when you see me, will you go out with me? Michael
