The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)

Dear friend,

I saw this movie once. It was about a boy who just wanted to belong, but when he started high school, he felt like he wouldn’t have any friends. The boy met a few really cool people, and then he fell in love with this girl who was in love with someone else. This girl was so perfect, but he wanted her to be happy, so he never told her how he felt.

Emma Watson was in it. She was so great in Harry Potter, but she was even better here. Logan Lerman and Ezra Miller were beautiful too. I feel like their characters became friends of mine, if they weren’t already. I started to act like they did in the movie, and at some point my life started to resemble what happened in theirs. I had my first kiss because of this movie. I loved a girl who reminded me of Sam, and even gave her the same present at Christmas.

This movie made me cry, but I was really glad to see it. It became an inseparable part of my life, and yet one of my favorites. I didn’t like that he dated Mary Elizabeth, but neither did he. Do you ever have movies like that? I don’t know why I’m asking you, since I don’t even know if you’re real. The boy went through a lot of pain, and he had his heart broken, but at least he knew that someone loved him.

I feel like people might feel the same way as me. It would be nice to know I’m not alone.

Love always,
Charlie

Please don’t think I’m depressed. I was just trying to sound like Charlie.
