Argh. Missed C2. She came by while I was walking, I even came back early because I was feeling so bad but still I missed her, apparently she was worried about me because she left me a grocery bag with food in it and the sweetest note, I'm going to write it all out here because I don't want to ever forget it:
----------------------------------------
To: Charlotte Powers
You seemed to be sick today and I was worried that you might not feel good enough to cook for yourself, and also that you might not have food prepared that you could easily heat up or otherwise prepare without fuss. My intention was to help you cook some food, but you don't seem to be home. Perhaps you are home but listening to music or otherwise unable to hear my knocking, although this seems unlikely considering the absence of noise inside your apartment. Even with headphones I'm sure I would be able to hear something, if not the music then your movements inside the house. (You are wearing the headphones in this scenario, not me.) I can only assume that you are out taking a walk, perhaps you felt nauseous and needed some fresh air. If you are in fact in your apartment then perhaps you are asleep, in which case I apologise for potentially disturbing you.
In any case, I went to the supermarket after school and I bought you some food. Please consider this a gift and not some kind of shopping service or otherwise a 'food loan' (I'm not sure if there's a more appropriate phrase than this, I hope you understand my meaning). What I mean is that I'm doing this as your friend and as someone who cares about you, not as a way to sell you food you might not want. I'm also sorry if you don't like any of the food, I tried to select a variety of different things such as fresh fruit and yoghurt and also instant noodles (they're called 'instant' noodles but in fact they take more than four minutes to prepare).
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
Please try to rest tonight and don't do anything too strenuous (for example, exercise). If you need anything you can call me at my family's house, my number is 665-5321. It will almost certainly be my mother or father who answer (if you call), but please just ask for me (perhaps it would be best to ask for 'Charlotte' rather than 'C2' in order to avoid confusion, I'm sure my parents will understand via context which Charlotte is meant, especially since it will be you (Charlotte Powers) asking, and it is unlikely that you would be asking to speak to yourself).
I apologise for the parentheses-in-parentheses in the preceding paragraph, I understand that it bothers some people and is not strictly speaking good grammatical practice, but as this is a 'casual' note I think it's probably acceptable. Actually, I feel that this note is perhaps becoming too long now to refer to as 'casual'. I apologise if reading so much has made you feel worse, or if my handwriting is difficult to make out. I hope you feel better soon, and that I can talk to you in person as soon as possible.
From your friend,
Charlotte Crescent (C2)

Soooo sweet, right? And I really DID need some easy food like this, I was kind of dreading have to go to the supermarket, so now I'm eating not-quite-instant noodles while I write this and having a banana, and she got me peach yoghurt because she must have remembered me mentioning I hate anything with pips in it.
Kind of tired now, so I think I'll finish eating and just go to bed. More tomorrow, I guess.
