Fifteen year old Charlia has to do a class project. The project? Correspond to a pen pal. Thinking that it would be over email, Charlia and her classmates concluded that it was going to be easy. That was until she discovered that it was going to be handwritten. 

Alex couldn't understand why he'd decided to do this, but he felt that it would motivate him to write. So when a school had put out a request for people to be a part of the pen pal project, he signed his name up, inspiration lacking and frustration growing.
