<p>fROM MY FRIEND SARAH, THE SELF-PROCLAIMED "hottest bitch in school":</p>

<p>About a year ago, I happened to come across an ocelot. It was a lonely creature and i proceeded to go up to it and ask it its name. To which he replied oscar. I know what you are thinking, what kind of a name is oscar? Well, he decsended from a long line of Oscars and he is very proud of his namesake. From that moment on, we were inseperable. He flew me to heaven and we laughed among the stars. One day, he looked very sad, so i asked him what his problem was. He told me that although i had been his best friend in the world, he thinks it is time to go out into the wild and try to make it on his own. I was very upset and begged him not to go. But he would have none of it. He told me he would return as he wiped off my tears. I still have scars from the places his claws scratched me. I'm thankful he didn't scratch my cornea. Anyway, he left and everyday since then I wait for his return. Sometimes he sends me letters, but he doesn't know how to write so i can not decipher them. I know we will always be the best of friends--me and my ocelot</p>
