Dear Electra,
It's FRIDAY! The day when all desolation is dismissed by delight. This day has been a mix between melancholy and merriment: firstly, I took a difficult exam on religion; secondly, I had social studies and English (two out of my five favourite subjects at school) today; thirdly, I gained the most frightening test score of my year nine career; fourthly, my school's Filipino group and I ate an appetizing shared lunch (or, as Kiwis tend to call it, a "free feed"); fifthly, Willow Pape lost a member; finally, Willow Pape and I had a marvellous lunchtime feasting on leftover cake (albeit losing said member).
Two days ago, I baked a pound cake (which was the main reason why this letter was not published two days ago - I was breathless!). The recipe I followed to make this cake was from the bonus section of Puffin Classic's edition of 'Anne of Green Gables'. I decorated the pound cake with saccharine vanilla icing and chocolate chips. I have modest virtues, but I shall say that I followed the recipe excellently and it was not a bit too dry nor too saturated. Even Charisma marvelled how soft the cake. You should've seen the astonished looks on Sierra, Gwen, and Charisma's faces when they took their first bite, Electra! (Sakura was not at school today and Sabrina is on a diet).
Once I announced my novel to Dr. Dad, he advised me to get a "fresh pair of eyes" to scan every chapter I've written so far. I needed someone who was intelligent, a close friend, and someone interested in what I do. Well, since my book is headed towards teenagers, Gwen would be the best candidate. She's been very supportive and enjoys where the story is going. She's also desperate to read chapter three, which I am currently planning. I remain in the hopes that you and Gwen will clutch onto a hardback copy of my book in a few months' time.
Stay powerful and beautiful as usual,
- M ★
