Mathew,

I know what everyone else says. How I'm a fag.. how I should just die... and the truth is I'm tired of fighting all of this... your notes were the only thing that kept me going. They were so sweet, funny... and for a little while I thought maybe we could be friends... but we can't be friends now, and this is probably the last time I'll ever write to you. So I wanted you to know this: I like you, Mathew. I have for a while now. Thank you for being my friend, even if for just a little while.

Yours,

Cole Spores
