dear mitch.

grade 6! you & natalie. me & andrew. band. percussion! that song that i taught you how to play so you don't fail that playing quiz. and you jumping off the ramp and breaking your ankle. and you falling when it was raining 'cause your cast was wet and you slipped. 

grade 7! mandaaaaaaaaaarin! god, ms.wu was so weird. she'd whack your table with a meter stick. and she'd give us lectures. pretty much every class. then rugby. and you & addy... and then fi. and you drawing on my mandarin folder during mandarin 'cause you were bored. and you helped me with everything with andrew & I helped you with fi and it was just a crazy year full of relationship shit because we were both stupid and didn't know what to do. and we somehow knew what we should do but we never did it so we needed each other to… well, tell each other what to do and yeah.

grade 8! mandarin again! I loved mandarin with you, it was fun. and and and and and and and and and I don’t really remember what happened in grade 8 anymore, but I know it was all good and you can refer back to your yearbook from grade 8 because I wrote that huge paragraph shit in your yearbook last year because I thought you were leaving and yeah :P

oh and we had a starbucks session with derrick & spring, which basically was kinda awkward but it was all good :)

grade 9! we don't really hang out as much anymore but that's fine. because whenever something happens, you're one of the first people that I go to because I know that you, somehow, understand what im trying to say more than anyone else. and I just remembered, we had a couple of our deep talks this year. like after IASAS XC, on the roof, like on the 4th floor. and about derrick & spring/steph and about you & fi. and I learned new things about you.

oh and I've said this in tove & derricks post as well, but I am officially inviting you to my wedding. because that way, I'll know that even if we don't talk until my wedding, we will meet there and we can go back to being friends. but like, I am gonna visit you in taiwan next year and you can come visit me in japan and I can visit you the year after wherever you're moving to.

I love you. you've always been there for me. even when im a complete mess and nobody wants to stick around because they'll be involved in my messed up shit. and I owe you so many things, its not even funny. and I wanna make it up to you but I have no idea how, so im still working on that. but for now, if you ever need anything, im here for you.  I love you!
