Dear Fike,
Heyyy! How’s you? I hope everything has been okay with you. Have you recovered from our chicken pox yet? What of Bree, how many puppies did she end up giving birth to? How is your school and all? What of… you know *wink*
Jessica and I have really been missing you since you left the school to New Beau forts. Have you finally come to manage the uniform? I remember how much you begged your parents to stay in Ridgeway. As you asked me to in your previous letter, I’m writing to inform you about the new term. It’s been quite different without you there. Did you know the school changed the uniform? It’s horrible! A blue skirt and blazer, a white blouse and a ridiculous plaid tie, not forgetting the pair of knee length white socks with flats. The other one was way better.
Second term has been harder though, and like now the exams are 70% of our final grade and were reading from Grade 7 to grade 8.ive been studying more often now because I want to pass my previous average. About three of my teachers have gone on maternity leave. Thankfully! Homework is even more now because classes are shorter because of upcoming school activities. Thankfully I haven’t yet found the need to stay up all night to finish work and I hope it remains that way. Do you remember the interhouse festival that the grades 9s use to tell us about? Practice has started, but I am yet to decide what I’m going to do. I’m sure if you were here you would have danced until the stage broke and the crippled would be able to give a standing ovation.im honestly more bothered about schoolwork right now especially avoiding distractions, but I’ve been coping alright. I’ve attached some pictures of the new uniform and a note from Charlie to this letter. That’s all for now b. I must start my homework for English tomorrow. The teacher wants us to write an informal letter to a friend and I don’t even know where to start! Write soon Fiks. I
