(her camp name was Willie) and she seemed like she liked me (at least i hope so...). I assume that she did know about my cutting because she seemed to have a special connection to me by the end of the week - like when someone knows something about you that you didn't tell them and it's personal. On the last day of camp, i was so sad that i would have to go back to the hell-hole i call home-i knew that i was going to miss her like crazy so... when my parents came, i went completely crazy and she came over and i hugged her for like a minute. I must have really freaked her out, and if by any weird chance she ever reads this, i just want to say that I AM VERY SORRY WILLIE- it's just that you are awesome and i really like you! I walked slowly to my car after that and i was practically crying. It turns out she was standing right there talking to my parents- she gave me a necklace called a "monkey's fist" -its a symbol of friendship- I thought that was soooooooooo cute! (yeah, laugh all you want, it is corny, but it was really special to me). I think that she is the coolest!!!!!!!! Thank you for being so awesome- i hope i'll see you again REBECCA!!!!!!! Haha... i love calling you that because you hate your full name so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
