Hi! It's... me! You probably forgot I existed. I would too. I haven't said anything here in forever! Mr. Korman, I have news.

...

My school had Book Fair! Yippee! Again! It's literally the best part of the year and it happened again! Oh, it was awesome! And this one had even better deals. I got nine books for $35. That's not even divisible! That's roughly $4 per book! Well, less than! Guess what I got! (All of this is from memory, so forgive me)

The Secrets Necklace by Jessie Paddock ($2.50)

The Crush Necklace by Jessie Paddock ($2.50)

... plus a free necklace that I got for, did I say, free?!

And I got other books, but I don't remember them. There's one in my backpack but I'm too lazy. I did buy two of your books!

War Stories by You-Know-Who

Supergifted by He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named

The second one was for my nicest and tied-for-favorite teacher for her birthday! So awesome, she loves to read. She was delighted. It was the second book in the duology, yeah, but it was (in my opinion) better and it was only two dollars and it was the only one there. So.

I'm gonna be an author, by the way. Do you want a book dedicated to you? Why did I ask. You're getting one anyway. I might even write even more books than you in my life. Did you know that J.K. Rowling is richer than the Queen of England? Did you also know the Queen of England has a last name? It's Windsor. I know a girl named Windsor, she's beautiful. I don't know her though--she's dating one of my pals. There's a lot of drama around that pal. My other friend actually liked him but he didn't like her, he likes Windsor. This isn't even my business, why am I telling you?

Middle school is so complicated.

Be blessed,

Jade

(P.S. I'm not done yet, I just signed it there because I felt it was right. You're very awesome, Mr. Korman? Can I call you Gordon? I'm never actually going to, I despise not calling adults their Title + Period + Last Name, in rare occasions Title + Period + First Name, but not with you or any other author ever because that's kind of weird. One of my best friends calls everyone their first name in her head. She calls you Gordon, Mr. Korman! It's so astounding!)

(P.S.S. Do I have to make a new P.S. every time I switch topics? Why did I sign this off? Oooh. How are you doing, by the way? I haven't talked to you in five-billion-and-a-half years.)

Hi, Jade,

Well, that was a breath of fresh air! Thanks for the newsy update. Yes, I would love to have a book dedicated to me. That's P.P.S., by the way for future P.S.'s. It stands for "post-post-scriptum." And you can call me Gord.

Oh! Okay! Thanks a lot--I think I knew that once upon a time, but I'd forgotten. :D

I will totally dedicate a book to you! And okay, Mr. Gord! I guess! Wow, that's so cool. WOW. WOAH! Thanks. Post post scriptum.

Be blessed,

Oh. My. Goodness. Sorry you're getting swarmed with all of these comments, but I am going down memory lane looking at 8th-grade-me's comments and I just...

It's 1:59 AM. I am trying so hard not to cackle (oh, now it's 2:00!) at old me's comments. Goodness. Absolute ball of excitement/energy/all of the above! What! Why was I just telling you all of the drama! "Windsor's beautiful" yeah, alright. And bro, who is that buddy? Goodness, I remember! The flashbacks! I'm getting so many flashbacks to middle school because of this, I just--wow.

"Middle school is so complicated."

Say it again, girl. Say. It. Again.

Be blessed,

Jade

(P.S. I'm so happy that my past is preserved on here like this. Goodness, I love old me.)
