It just says two words: “Your dead.” He didn’t even spell “you’re” right.
Dear Dad,
You’re right. Misty Lee is definitely the villain in this story. You’ll never guess who the victim is.
Misty Lee told Will Mudgett that she still liked me and was hoping we could get back together again. That’s what she was saying when she smiled at him.
Guess how I found out. In social studies, Will Mudgett slipped me a note. I have it here. It just says two words: “Your dead.” He didn’t even spell “you’re” right. He’s the creepiest bad speller I know.
At the end of class, I showed the note to Donnie Joad, who asked Sharon King about it, who then told Donnie what Misty had said to Will. Donnie told me, all wide-eyed like he gets when he’s excited about something.
So now I’m back on Will Mudgett’s hit list. I do NOT want to get back together with Misty Lee. And I’m pretty sure she doesn’t want to get back together with me.
I could tell Will Mudgett that I don’t like her, because I don’t. But he’ll probably think I’m saying that because I’m a chicken.
I could tell Misty Lee that I don’t like her, but I’m pretty sure she’d figure some way to twist that around in a way that would still mess me up. She’s smarter than I am, at least at this kind of stuff.
I think I’ll tell Donnie Joad to talk to Will Mudgett and set him straight. Tell him I have no interest in that frizzy-haired girl. Is that chickening out?
Your son,
Tom
