Hi Tay,
Nah, u can call me that if u want.
Im sure u will have fun. It must be great 2 tour the world. I wish I could.
Oh, I havent been doing anything much. Just helping looking after the kids here. U
know, at the school Bree goes too. There are all sorts of kids here. Sometimes it
makes me really sad, especially when visitors come and treat them like anomalies or
something. I mean, just because you're blind or deaf or have cancer or whatever,
doesn't make u a freak.
Sorry 4 that. Sometimes I get really frustrated. But really some people come here and
talk to them like they can't speak english or they're aliens or something. Its really sad
:(
Anyway, I have to go now,
Cya!

A few weeks later, Taylor plonked on the couch and sighed.
"Why are you so happy Tay?" Zac asked.
"I think I'm in love." He replied happily.
Zac's eyes widened.
"You mean, you're finally ready to admit that you like Laura?"
"No, don't be silly Zac. Elf."
"Who?"
"Elspeth."
Zac was quiet for a moment. Then he turned towards Laura who was reading in her bunk.
"Hey Laura, you've got competition."
Laura looked up at them for a moment, gave a small, amused smile, and went back to her book.
