There's this girl that I met at Mt. Hope Bible Camp up near where I live. I first met her during my second year, 2006. Useless information, I know. She kinda liked to flirt with me, touching my shoulders, calling me cute, giving my hugs, EST. But she had a boyfriend, who had my very same first name (Landon). I started liking her from the way she was treating me but my friend Shawn told her and said she didn't like me back. Go figure.
My second year of camp was a little bit ackward. I saw her again, and she was a real beach toward me, saying I'm g*y from hanging out with my friend and screaming at me for no reason. However, I learned later that week that she lost her brother October the year before. My friend was talking about that to me and reinforced that I'd never have a chance at dating her, which I knew already, then she said "Hi" to me and the face that Shawn and I were "having a little controversy over you." I hate being a smart aleck. I made it seem really bad. Her friend told us off that day and my heart sank. Later that evening, I came to her and broke down in tears during an apology. Once the last day came, I got her and Shawn's phone numbers and addresses. During the summer, I sent a letter to her moreless being a friend and asking her how the rest of her summer is going, not getting to deep into anything, but I never got a return from her. My brother said she was working as a leader for other camp weeks so she couldn't return it. Sounds reasonable.
My third year of camp, this year 2008, the very first thing she said to me was "Have you ever thought about calling me?" I told her I did, but seeing she never returned the letter I sent her over the summer the year before, I didn't even think about jumping to that. She started acting really strange toward me, writing a note to one of her friends saying "Stay away from Landon (me)! He's mine!" And she screamed at me when one girl was joking about what it would be like for me to get a girlfriend. Later that week, she got her own boyfriend and it never bothered me.
But I have been wandering what it would be like if I attempted to write her again. It's in the middle of August now, so chances are, she's going to actually get the letter. I would like to talk to her on the phone but I can't just straight up and call her! I'm afraid that maybe she won't return the letter if I send it. I'm not expecting to get any romantic relationships out of this, I just think it would be interesting to speak to her again even after camp has ended. So should I try to send her something, call her, or stay away?
