Nate sat curled up on his bed, his face red from reading the letter. He tapped his pencil against the paper a couple of times, leavings some marks, before replying.

Dear Chase,
It's, apparently, because I'm the type of person who looks "easily scared". That's what most people have said. As well as the fact, that I don't like strangers. Ahah. And, uhm...ah jeez. I'm really not sure how to respond... but that would be fun. It'd be my first time being in a different house for more than a couple of hours.

I'd like to see you too.... Maybe we can arrange a way to meet one day?

Sorry for this being short,
Gotta go now,
Nate.

He ran off to the mailbox, slipping it in before heading back into his room to write in his journal.
