First Task

Laquette yang Terkasih,

Apa kabarmu dan keluargamu, kuharap baik-baik saja. Saat ini aku berada dalam kelas Kimia Lanjutan dan menulis surat untukmu agar kau tahu betapa aku sangat perhatian padamu. Aku memutuskan untuk menulis surat ini karena aku merasa telah membuatmu cukup kesal setelah peristiwa tadi malam. Aku ingin mengatakan bahwa aku menyesal dan berharap agar kau menerima permintaan maafku. Aku tahu perasaanmu terluka setiap kali/ketika aku kehilangan kalungku atau mendapatinya telah dicuri. Aku sangat gembira ketika kau memberiku hadiah hasil jerih payahku untuk memenangkan taruhan. Aku ingin berterima kasih untuk mengijinkan memiliki buku tahunanmu. Aku memamerkannya pada semua orang di sekolah. Semuanya berpikir kau adalah gadis muda yang cantik dan aku harus setuju sebab hal itu benar adanya. Oleh sebab itu janganlah kau menjadi tinggi hati. Sayang sekali aku harus memberitahukan bahwa aku tak dapat menghadiri pertandingan di hari ulangtahunku karena ayah mengajak (traktir) semua anggota tim basket di hari itu. Mohon janganlah marah, karena aku mengupayakan untuk menemuimu 1 minggu setelah 14 Februari. Jika aku mendapatkan kesempatan untuk datang, mohon rancangkan suatu aktivitas yang dapat kita lakukan bersama. Aku ingin kau tahu bahwa perasaanku padamu masih sama. Akhirnya aku terbiasa berkencan dengan gadis yang jauh lebih kecil dari diriku. Kuharap kaulah jawaban untukku. Nah, aku telah gunakan waktuku dengan seksama dengan menulis surat untukmu. Kuharap kau membalasnya segera. Sekarang aku harus pergi, kelas hampir berakhir. Sampai jumpa lain waktu, yang kuharap akan segera tiba.

Dengan penuh cinta
