Letter 5 - Pearl
Hi Amethyst,
It's a shame that you and your mother don't get along. Mine and I aren't exactly best friends, either. I've lived almost my entire life with those people and we still haven't grown very close. 'Birthgiver' might be an inside joke, but 'hellspawn' sounds like you really hold a grudge. I'm in a very tight-knit community, and some of our neighbours are religious - it would absolutely destroy them if you were the daughter of any of them and said that word out loud to their face. You can refer me to your friend, if you want, and I don't mind adding her on Spyke since I have nothing on my profile.
I don't know what snail mail protocol is, but if you want to direct me to your social network profile, I don't mind. My dad used to say that we can only appreciate what we have through the eyes of another, and that's probably right. Maybe you'll grow to like Asbury. Perhaps I would've grown to love Inverness if I could visit. It sounds like a lovely place. Speaking of which, what DO you do in Inverness? I heard there are some lovely castles to visit.
Don't push your luck too hard. I do admit I'm very curious as to how that turns out, though. Hair dye is rebellion, and we've had an incident here before with a girl from the same studio I go to. She was forced to shave it off. It was sad and a little scary.
Call me whatever you want, but nobody draws circles that neat without a reference. Nobody.
Looking forward to hearing from you again,
Pearl
