Word of warning - the comments section of chapter main contain spoilers now as the format of the original story has changed.

Hi, I guess.

I'm not too sure what to write here other than hi… It's weird you know because I have been assigned a pen-pal, which is obviously outdated dude or girl or whatever. I'm a dude, well, I'm fourteen, and since I have no idea who the anonymous person I have been forced to write to for the next two months, I don't know what to say.

For the next couple of weeks, are we supposed to be super simple and not get much into things in order to pass the class? I'm not going to lie I need to make an effort, my grades are super-bad, so if you make an effort, I'll make an effort. I'll confess it is a little weird to talk to another person without saying my name. I've been told it has to be secret, and that seems odd, due to the fact the first thing I have been conditioned to do is state my name the first time I meet someone new.

Our teacher told us today we are supposed to write our notes and place them in the box at the front of the classroom to distribute the letters to and from you. So, to state for the record, and from what number I picked on the form, I choose candidate 37, which is you whoever you are. I don't feel like calling you candidate 37. Despite, it seems impersonal, and I don't know it seems wrong to call another human by a number, but whatever. Perhaps call me Bond… James Bond.

I wrote the letter you’re reading three times. I am sorry if it is cringy and you are already dreading the coming days and contact with me. I ran out of time to write anything because I had to start over so many times. I get nervous sometimes; I don't know why I guess it is in my nature. At least I have the comfort in knowing the teachers won't read what we are writing, and it is going to be funny building a conversation with someone I have probably, or probably have not met. The chance and probability, however, are quite high considering we are in the same school. The forwarding number states this school.

Anyway, it's almost home time, and I have basketball practice to do so; I hope you have a nice day.

 

From,

Bond… James Bond.

Thank you I am glad you like the story so far, and that it has left you in want. I have never been a sporty kid growing up, I was always building things, inventing games, stories, acting. I suppose my niche is entertaining through storytelling.

Nice start D.K.  I love the concept. Letters can be a great forum to get to know someone — personal but safely distant in the beginning. The main characters both seem to have interesting, if not divergent personalities which makes them all the more interesting.

 

I’ve missed your writing and I’m excited to be reading your work again. Can’t wait for more.

Thank you so much @SolarMaxx I am terribly sorry that I missed your comment. I don't know how I have not seen it until now. Its the fact that I am starting off again with the story because I was busy launching other projects in-between and had to stop writing. Its the fact that I was listing who wrote what letter that I came back to the previous chapters and only noticed your comment. I am glad that you like the concept, and I hope you stay tuned for the upcoming chapters. It's nice to see a familiar person commenting and reading my work :)

I was just looking at my reading list yesterday and observing that nothing had been added here recently.  I'm pleased that more will be arriving. 🙂

Yes, sorry about that, on my end, I have been writing like crazy and finishing deadlines for a book release. Sometimes when things get hectic another project needs to be pushed to the side. I am afraid that is what happened with You & I. Although for now, I can say that chapter 13 is complete and I am to have to up on Patreon tomorrow and next week here on Gay Authors. I am delighted that you want more :)

I like the opening concept of this style of story telling, the nervous awkwardness is there just the same as meeting someone first time when face to face, I'm looking forward too seeing how this progresses.

I am glad you liked it, I guess I envisioned how I'd be meeting someone new. I not the best people person in the world but I do try. Perhaps a little bit of the nervousness I'd feel is present in the story, but most of it changes in the later chapter once they become more accustomed. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story. Thanks for the comment :)
