dear mom,

ever since i got my period, i've noticed how my voice has been changing. 

my voice no longer sounds so squeaky as it did before.

it's sort of deep now. 

it's kind of weird really. 


when i went over to aaron's house to tell aaron's mom how i appreciate

what she's been doing for me for the couple of days.

aaron opened up the door and i saw how he looked a little bit different 

from the last time i saw him. 

his hair has gotten a little bit longer.

he's gotten a few pimples on his face too.

when he saw me, i was really surprised to hear his voice,

it was just a little bit deeper.


"hey ann, what's up?" he asked me.

i really couldn't believe how much he had changed in a year.

"where's your mom? i wanted to give her this card to say thank you

for the couple of days." i told him shyly.


i couldn't believe how he's grown also in a year. 

the last time i saw him, we were around the same height,

but now he was like about four inches taller than me.


"my mom's in the back. do you wanna come in?" he asked me.

i was going to tell him sure when i opened up my mouth and my voice cracked.

immediately, i could feel my face become bright red as i saw him look at me 

all confused and then some stupid silly smile of his appeared.


"did your voice just crack?" he chuckled.

i pushed through him as i tried ignoring his chuckling behind me 

as i tried to find his mom.

when i saw her, she was outside in the backyard working on planting some flowers.

i called out her name and she turned around with this large smile.

i handed her the card and she gave me a small hug for thanks.

for some reason, i felt really happy after that hug.


love,

ann

p.s. i'm so going to get back at aaron for laughing at me, mommy!

scribbled on  a notebook paper at aaron's house. aaron comes over to the area where ann is writing and looks down at her paper, trying to read what she wrote. she quickly hides the paper away from aaron's eye. he looks at her weirdly as she cracks him a nervous fake smile. the two end up spending the rest of the day watching t.v and hanging out with each other.
