Today I'm taking part in the Passing Notes with Sykosa event! It's kind of a cool thing where the main character from Justin Ordonez's book Sykosa passes a note to my character Sarah Redbird from The Spirit Keeper and then I post her response. It's a fun way to get to know other authors and characters AND there's a chance for you to win $50, a paperback of Sykosa or one of 11 ebooks! The entry form is at the end of this post.
Sykosa has already written her note to Sarah Redbird. Find out what she had to say here. Now, here's Sarah's note back!
Dear Sykosa ~
My boyfriend Adrian and I are
super close because of something really bad that happened a few months ago,
just like you and Tom. When Adrian first moved to town, my overprotective aunt
and uncle freaked out and forbid me—actually forbid me—to have anything to do with him. The reason? Sixteen
years old is too young to date. Ha! Little did I know the real reason they didn’t want me to hang out with him was because
they suspected his creepy dad Victor of setting the fire that killed my mom and
grandparents when I was just eleven. I honestly didn’t know what to believe and started sneaking
behind their backs to see Adrian. Me! Miss Goody Two-Shoes, the girl who’d never done
anything remotely bad in her entire life! Why does love have to be so
complicated? Sigh . . .
But now Adrian and I are a bona
fide couple, and everything is cool. Sort
of. I’ve got a lot on my plate right now (seriously, I could write a book
on how complicated my life is). Katie Cunningham, my number-one nemesis, is the
least of my problems right now. And anyway, I have a feeling she’ll get her
just deserts in the end. *insert evil laugh*
Possibly even worse than Katie,
though, is this little twit named Jasmine Moon. She’s got a thing for Adrian
and doesn’t even try to hide it. And her older brother Caleb . . . well, I’m
still trying to figure him out. Adrian’s getting a little jealous, but I swear
it’s not like that. I just hope he believes me before I end up getting dumped.
Now that would suck.

Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI can't believe your aunt and uncle forbid you from seeing Adrian! WTF did they think you were gonna do after that?!? I get it, tho. If my parents knew about Tom, well they sorta do, but they don't know know so they've in denial about it, they'd try to stop me from seeing him, but that's not gonna happen now, no way!!! Need my yummy-boy :)
Your life does sound complicated! Mine is too, tho I think I'm a simpleton surrounded by exceptionally complicated people, lol. That's actually one of the reasons I like Tom so much, he doesn't hog the spotlight ever second of the day, he lets me have it once and a while!
I hope your man doesn't get stupid with jealousy and dump you. I've got rival problems, too. My main one, Mackenzie, is, like I said, trying to get the inside track on Tom. Thus far, he's resisted her, but I don't know... I also don't know what to do about it. I mean, I can't get boys to do anything (not even stuff that's in their own best interest), so I kinda just sit back and hope for the best!
Hope it doesn't burn me!

Sykosa -
DeleteYeah, my aunt and uncle can be a little neurotic at times. They're my mom's brother and sister and not a whole lot older than I am, so it makes for some tense living at home(especially when they try to go all parental on me). It was okay when I was younger, but I'm going to be a senior in high school now. They can't treat me like a kid anymore. I get where they're coming from, though. I'm sure it wasn't easy losing their parents and sister, and then getting guardianship over me in one fell swoop.
As far as sitting back and hoping for the best - I totally hear you on that one. Everyone keeps telling me not to worry about might happen in the future, but I feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders. I know that's cliche, but it's true. Despite everything that's happened and how my life's changed, I'm not some superhero. I'm just a girl. I'm still just me.

Sarah,
ReplyDeleteYeah... Sometimes it's best to just let thing go to the wayside. Or else the dark thoughts start coming out. I can think those too often sometimes. I get very anxious and my limbs start to shake a bit. I tend to pretend it's not happening because I already feel like some scientists bad idea of a social experiment at my school, to be any more different or any more confusing would be too much. I have a name for it, though. I call it the "blackness," it's because sometimes I can't remember what happening when it get really, really bad.
Anyhow, that's really traumatic with your parents and everything. I can't imagine. I don't know anyone who's died!! My boyfriend Tom got really injured last year and he had to go to the hospital. We weren't dating at the time, but I was really upset about it.
