Dear John, 
 
 You may have wondered about my recent coldness. I've seen the pained, furtive looks in math class, and heard the pregnant pause between us as we pass in the hall. 
 
 Know this, John. The others may have been fooled by your false laugh and smile and become like those poor fools in Plato's allegory of the cave, captivated by the shadows on the wall. But I, *I* have glimpsed the truth, the source of the light! You are a monster, an empty shell! You crassly manipulate the trusting plebeians around you in a sorry sham of a popularity contest. 
 
 I was once one of those fools, John. I might have stayed that way, had you not wounded me as you did last Tuesday; in wounding me, you showed me your true nature, you spawn of the void! 
 
 When you offered Lucy, Alex and Sarah but not *me* gum on the bus ride to the museum, I was at first hurt, and sought within myself a reason for this seemingly unprovoked injury. But upon reflection, I realized you're a monster John; you raise and cut down those around you for your own vain purposes. 
 
 So I've sought to repay you for the gum, John. Try to stand up. You ca n't can you? Do n't you remember what Mrs. Johnson told us in First Grade, `` watch where you sit?'' 
 
 Enjoy the gum, John.
