Hey Emma,

First off, I just want to tell you how happy I am that you responded. I literally wanted to forget all about me sending you that email, because it just felt downright weird right after I hit send. I guess now, I didn't do a weird thing(did I?)

And, I gotta say, you're going to be fun to talk to. Your letter was equally nice to read. You got a really good sense of humor, and that's nice to know. I won't have to explain my (terrible) jokes to you, I hate doing that shit. It ruins everything for me. 

I'm not gonna tell you how I got to know your Instagram. That's something that you'll have to live with. 

Closet writer, huh?  Do you specialise in poetry or something, because the second line ( I think it was the second) of your letter actually rhymed. I can't rhyme to save my life, no matter how hard I try. 

I don't want to say anything about your hurtful comments on noodles. I don't want anything to ruin something that hasn't even begun, so I'll forget about that. 

(Though that mentality of yours has got to change, asap)

I am 17, and I'm no stalker. You're actually the first person I decided to research on, in all my years of tech knowledge. I dunno why, and will prolly never know, but I was particularly drawn to you. That's why I had to talk to you, no matter what. 

Again, I'm 17 years old, not some old weirdo that's into little girls for whatever fantasies he might have. Please. 

You kinda scared me with the whole pet tiger thing. That's not normal at all, and confusingly, that makes me want to talk to you even more. Does that mean I'm weird, because I should be running in the other direction, instead of towards you. 

( Also, if you do get a tiger, tell me all about him (or her) and how your tiger has scared people shitless. I love to have a good laugh.)

And it's nice to know that I'm not the only one with an irrational fear of dolls. I'm not exactly jumpy at the sight of them, it's just that they're creepy. I don't get how kids actually like playing with them. 

You saw Chucky as a little girl? Is it safe to assume that you're a horror freak too? We could be soul mates, I'm just saying. I mean, I was right about the fact that you didn't keep dolls, along with all the other stuff, wasn't I? It's like I know you without even knowing anything about you. 

Okay, I'm being weird again. Its like I'm coming on too strong. I'm just speaking my mind, honestly.

I'm in total disagreement about us not being alike. But then again, I could be wrong. I doubt it though 

About you scaring people away, I don't want to talk about this much, because we're only just talking for the first time. Or the second, since this is the second letter you're getting from me. So, I'll leave it at that. If eventually, we get to talk more often, then I'll definitely bring up this topic. 

You can count on that. 

I guess I've covered just about everything I should tell you. 

And, if you don't mind, I'd like us to get to know each other better. You already know my name and last name, and I don't think middle names matter, so I won't tell you my middle name. And you know my age too. Well, I'm a junior at my school( that should've been obvious too). And like every other testosterone filled human being, I'm into sports. Track and football, to be precise. 

And remember that thing about me not being a nerd...that might've been a white lie. I'm a straight A student too. Hopefully, I get to be a psychologist, or a lawyer. I'm not one of those guys who solely depend on their athletic skills to get into college( I don't see anything wrong with that, though). I play football because...it beckons to me. And I run because it helps clear my mind. 

Like I said before, I'm terrible at rhyming, so I can't write shit. Writing is something I don't ever see myself excelling at, no matter how hard I try. I mean, look at the cheesy letters I send you. 

( I smacked my forehead again. I hope this isn't going to be a regular thing for me). 

And I have a little assignment for you. Tell me a bit about yourself as well, and we'll keep going from there. 

I hope to get an email from you soon, Emma. 

And, I'm not really scared of dolls... I said that in hopes that you'd laugh. 

P.S: I guess I'll be Nate to you then. And your logic is clearly based off of books. 

Nate.

    Hey Nate,Did you do a weird thing? Let's see. You read comments on an online support group, saw one that caught your interest, couldn't suppress the urge to talk to the girl that wrote said comment, sent her the oddest email she's ever read, and then decided to forget that he ever sent the email in the first place.Is that weird? I'll leave you to answer that for yourself.And yes, I do have a sense of humor. Usually the dark kind, but it's still humor nonetheless, isn't it? But nowadays, very few things make me laugh. So,I don't know what to make of it. Does that still count as having a good sense of humor?Should I be worried that you refuse to tell me how you got to know my handle? Or is this you being mysterious? Either way, it's fine. I won't bother you about it again.I write everything, though I've never once completed a book. For the life of me, I can't. I'm

    Hey Emma,I dont know what made you so unhappy yesterday, but I'm sorry that you felt that way. You didnt have to apologise( i understand its simple courtesy) because having bad days is pretty normal. I dont even talk to anyone at all if I'm having a bad day. And if i had known what was going on with you, I would've tried harder to make you laugh.Btw, you not laughing is another thing you shouldnt apologise for. My attempt was lame anyways.You asked me my question back, thats unfair. I guess what i did could be considered as weird. But not anymore, at least to me.Dark humor is still humor. I dont know if i prefer it to other forms of humor though. And yeah, youre right. I dont read much non fiction, much less poetry. I do read books, so i guess i could say yourr partially right. Academic books, biographies, self help books, things like that. I occasionally read mystery

    Hey Emma,It's being five days and three hours since I sent you the last email. I don't whether or not I should be worried, but I am. And I'm also feeling really bad, because it's clear that I'm responsible for what's going on with you right now.I'm sorry for upsetting you in....any way I did. And I'll try not to do it again. I'm one of those people that don't rest easy when someone is mad at them or sad because of them. These past five days have really taken a toll on me( or so says my mirror), and I don't want to find out what will happen if I keep waiting for you to reply, hoping that you'd just decide to write me 'hey' and nothing else.Also, if you decide to still talk to me after reading this letter, then we won't go to the deep parts of our lives. There's a lot of other things to talk about, like how the weather is and how you picture your life forty years from now.I'll jus

    Hey.I almost ended this here, because you did say to say just 'hey' in my next letter so you'd feel better. But I need to clarify some things first, because I don't like the fact that you're feeling guilty for hitting the nail on the wall. Because that's the only thing you did, and that's not exactly offensive. In fact, it's not offensive at all.I'd say you should go with psychology. It seems like a talent, just like writing is for me. Don't let it go to waste, Nate.Lemme start off by apologising. I sent you an email late, way late( though we don't exactly have a schedule for this, do we?)You felt bad, and that's probably the only reason I'm apologising right now. I'm sorry for not sending you an email sooner. I wanted to, but I couldn't find the right words. I stared at my computer (I don't know the actual number of times) about seven times before deciding, what the heck!!I don

    Hello, and salutations, to everyone that's reading this book.I realise it's been a ridiculously long time since I updated, but that was to see if anyone was actually reading the book.I also had some problems with my goodnovel account.But I'll be updating regularly. Every Friday, hopefully. If you like the book even a little, just leave a comment.It would mean a lot to me.I also started a YouTube channel, where I post poems I write. If you're into that stuff, be sure to check my channel out."Introverted poet."That would also mean a lot. And it would be way better if you subscribed and left a comment. It really helps writers, along with the whole sense of accomplishment that comes with viewing a nice comment on your work.Expect an update soon!Stay awesome.

    Hey, again,You might be shocked to see two entire emails from me. I too am shocked at myself. I can't believe I'm sending you two emails. I mean, it's not like you sent me two emails and I have to do the exact same thing. Then again, you're making me do things I never thought I'd do.It's both cool and scary. Big kudos to you, Nate.I can't really remember what I sent you in the last email, but I remember this comment you made though. You said that, you'd be fine just talking about random nonsense like the weather. I'd rather you take a shotgun and end my life, seriously. If you really like talking to me, and would want to keep talking to me, then please, no small talk about the weather and things that don't really matter.Doing that is almost as effective as murdering me with an actual weapon. I'd die of boredom.Okay, since that is covered( I mean it, dude), I'm going to just write random rubbish, like you did in your letter( it's n

School, along with other personal stuff, came up, and I just couldn't.Also, I was shocked to see I'd reached 200+ views, from 74. Thank you guys so much, both those that have stayed throughout, and those that recently started reading my book.I'll just go straight to the point. This Author's Note is just to inform y'all about a few things.- I started a YouTube channel, it's called the "Introverted poet." Do try to check it out. And what is interesting about this is that, most of what I post there is based on this story. I basically converted "From Me To You," into a short love story on YouTube.

    Hey Emma,Note that this email might be longer than usual, because I'll be replying your last two emails in this one. I'll try to make it short though.I'm going to address the last paragraph of your last email before anything else. Nothing you say will ever be boring to me. Strange, yes. Ridiculous, definitely. But boring, not at all. I hope you understand that.Now that that's over with....you said I should pursue psychology. Well, I don't know what to say to that, but I'll put your advice into consideration. Plus, I know it's something I'll enjoy doing.I'm sorry about your mum. She sounds like an amazing person. Correction...I know she was an amazing person. Look how you turned out. And I completely understand what you mean when you said writing poetry helps you heal. Sports is my mode of healing.I won't say anything about the whole tiger naming, simply for my sanity and peace of mind.I've had lots of crushes before,

    Dear Nate,Your email wasn't long at all, honest. Kudos to you on shortening it as much as you could, though I wouldn't have minded a longer one.I'm glad you're taking my advice into consideration ( the whole thing about you pursuing psychology). But make sure it ends up being your choice, and your choice alone, and not a decision you came to because of some external influence, aka, me.Also, I want to thank you for what you said about my mum. She was an amazing person truly.A vampire? Really, Nate? I know you suck at cracking jokes, but that was just really bad. And the fact that it was a horrible joke made it funny.But guess what? I did dress up as a vampire on Halloween once, when I was nine years old. I remember my mum being shocked when I refused to dress up as a princess. She almost ignored me, but I have my ways. Also, I met Matt that Halloween, but more about that later.I don't necessarily hate dress
