The Abroad

Chapter 7
The first week back at school was full of me learning to cope.
Throughout that week, I had to get used to a lot. From people showing me postcards from Kyle from various places in Sydney, to dealing with new classes, to letters from Kyle.
I got letters from Kyle almost every day. It was odd.
I never once read any of them.
My life was rocky. I was constantly trying to put Kyle out of my thoughts, but remembering how I would be spending three months in Sydney just did not permit that to happen.
I knew what were in Kyle's letters before I even looked at the envelope.
I will always remember the date.
It was a day when a letter from Kyle did not come.
It was February 10.
I had started crying, like a baby.
Adam got really worried, so he told Mom and Dad.
I sent the picture, making sure it would get to him on Valentine's Day.
I wrote his name and address on the front with a black pen, and used a plain old envelope. I made sure to get stamps and envelopes that stuck by themselves, without the help of my licking them.
I made sure it was impersonal, or so it would seem.
