ULTIMATELY UNSENT. TO: Mackenzie Lee <mac.leeee@gmail.com> FROM: Toby Lapointe-Campbell <tlapointecampbell@ivi.edu.au> SUBJECT:
Hey.
I don't know why I'm emailing you. I guess because I miss you. And I guess I owe you an apology or an explanation or something.
I know my parents are telling my friends I've transferred to a school in Vancouver, and I know that nobody is buying it. Before I left I heard some of the rumours -- that I'm pregnant, that I'm a Vol. And it's true. No, I'm not pregnant, but I am a Vol. My power is called cryokinesis and that means that I control and create ice. It's pretty cool, actually. I froze over Ashley's pool, I mean it was frozen solid. And I can move ice with my mind. I'm sorry if that freaks you out, but that's who I am: a freak with ice powers.
I first used my powers at the sleepover. I didn't know I had, but that's how the glass shattered. I'm sorry, I really am. And I know that you probably won't ever reply to this because I'm a fucking freak and you can't be associated with me, but I wanted you to know. Because part of me hopes that when you know the truth you'll still be my friend. But I guess that doesn't matter, since I'm stuck in Australia for the foreseeable future.
Mac, I wish I wasn't like this. I wish I was back home. With you.
