Writing Excercise sept.21.09

  Faye awoke to the slamming of her mailbox. it frightened her, and she had forgotten where she was sleeping. She was so bored. Unbelievably so. But she was much happier here on the couch, with afternoon opera and infomercials, then in class. because the mailbox woke her so abruptly, she had sent the Cheetos, that were on her raising and falling stomach sailing to the floor. 

"ugh."                                                                                                                                                                 she groaned. She then realized, it might be him. It might be her pen pal! the mail man must have dropped off a letter! She was so happy she picked today to fake a stomach ache. She had been sneaking out of soccer practice early every day for the past year, ever since her and her pen pal had gotten serious, their letters had gotten well, romantic, deep and insanely passionate. And if she had gotten home at the regular time, after her mother was home, her mom would see the letter and read it. what else was her bored mom supposed to do with her life other than get into her business? She got up from the couch stretched and bended until the sleep left her body, tiptoed over the spilled Cheetos, and opened the door.

Inside the mailbox were five envelopes. One was her mother's master card bill,That was a fat one, her own Verizon bill, that one was fatter, a party invitation addressed to her brother Richie, a envelope to her father from Ruth who lives on the other side of town, which when Faye held it up was filled with money, it must have been payment from her father and her taking care of her garden while she visited her younger sister in the Florida nursing home. And the last, was in a thick very large white envelope. It was addressed to her. But had no return address. Maybe, she thought, her pen pal, Jon, from France, was trying to be all sexy and mysterious. She opened it, and pulled out, not a letter, but something long and white, with lace on the end, and pearls sewn into it. She spread it out on the coffee table. It was a veil. 

"could it be?"...she thought to herself "was Jon this serious?" 

They had talked about how great it would be if they were together forever, married. something heavy was also still in the envelope. She pulled out a small velveteen box, she was blown away. Inside was a beautiful diamond ring. In the center was a Heart cut diamond, surrounded by small pearls. Faye's breathing pace increased unsure of what else to do, she immediately ran to her desk and logged into Aim, hoping her pen pal would be on, so she could tell him how much she loved him for this. 

Faye: I love you. We need to talk this over... im just... in shock. 

faye tapped her fingers hastily waiting for a response. No response. He was on... why wasn't he responding. 

Faye: hahaha I'm sorry, I almost forgot! its a yes!! <3

All of a sudden he responded, and the little ding on the computer pleasantly startled Faye. 

Jon: Sorry Faye? Im not  exactly understanding... I Love you 2 tho!!!! 

Faye: Lmao. dont play dumb babe, I just got it! 

Jon: Faye seriously... i hav no idea... What did you get sweetie? 

Faye: Jon. Please dont do this... Im scared now. Tell me now if you didn't send me the package with no return address, with a veil and the ring inside???
