Hello,
Is this Miyu-chan? If it is, it is nice to meet you ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა !! I applied for a pen pal service on the fly and only realized I was given the email after checking today. I’m so sorry if I made you wait. Well to be fair, you could have emailed me first. But it’s okay I’m emailing you now !!
Anyways, if this is not Miyu-chan from the pen pal service then I am very sorry for disturbing your peace!!!

Subject: Am I Miyu-Chan?
Hi,
If I said I was Miyu-chan would you believe me? What if I wasn’t Miyu-chan and I still told you I was him? How would you know then? Hehe, just messing with you. I’m DEFINITELY Miyu-chan.
Honestly I forgot that I even applied to the pen pal service. It was called PandaPenPal right? My father wanted me to try it. Anyways, if you want me to keep replying then keep me interested :). If I get bored, I’m blocking your email hehe.

Definitely Miyu

HELLO!
I definitely know it’s you Miyu-chan!! This was the email given from the pen pal service and you even said what pen pal service we both used. HMPH ୧(๑•̀ᗝ•́)૭. Don’t even try to tease me you bastard!!
ALSO WHAT IS ALL THESE THINGS ABOUT KEEPING YOU ENTERTAINED!! SO DEMANDING OF YOU MIYU-CHAN (•̀⤙•́ )
Anyways, now that’s out of my system, I want to get to know you. How old are you? Are you a boy or girl? DO YOU LIKE BASEBALL? ৻( •̀ ᗜ •́ ৻). I have more questions but I have to go! Feel free to ask me any questions you want, Miyu-chan.

Yo Ei-chan,
I told you I was just messing with you HAHA. You definitely did not disappoint. You’re funny. Are you this loud in real life? Don’t yell at me through an email. Do I need to tell you all those things? What if I don’t want to get to know you?
Also, when did we become friends? I have not accepted anything.

Not your friend (yet), Miyu

HI!
I am not yelling at you through the emails! I’m just excited, hmph <( •̀ᴖ•́)>. Also, if you don’t want to get to know me, you could just not answer the emails and I can find another pen pal who is more willing (˵•̀⤙•́˵)૭.
I can answer the questions if you don’t feel like going first. I’m a guy who is 14 years old. I’m starting my last year of junior high this coming spring! One of the things we had in common was baseball, so that's why I asked. ⸜(｡ ˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡. Hope this helps you want to answer the questions. ALSO I LOVE BASEBALL!!
Well, I want to be friends and I say we’re friends!
From,
Your very good friend Ei ♡⸜(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)⸝♡

Ei-chan,
It definitely feels like you're yelling at me. I’m answering your emails, so maybe I do want to get to know you. Since I'm a kind and great senpai, I will answer your questions. Hehe.
Yes, I’m your senpai :). I’m a guy and I’m 15. I’m starting high school in the spring. I also love baseball. I actually play on a team and was recruited for the high school I’m going to. Was that too much information? To be honest with you, I don’t really know if I’m doing this right. I guess I accept your friendship, but you have to call me Miyu Senpai :)
From,
Your Senpai, Miyu

Miyu senpai,
Has anyone told you that your personality is quite twisted? I called you senpai, so now we’re officially friends. I don’t know if I believe the kind and great part but I’ll take your word for it.
You got recruited?? You must be really good (੭˃ᴗ˂)੭!! I play on my junior high team as well!! What position do you play? I could talk about baseball for hours ৻(•̀ ᗜ •́ ৻)⊹｡₊*⊹.˚
Miyu Senpai, you’re doing fine and you don’t have to share anything you don’t want to. There is no wrong or right way to do any of this. We’re just getting to know each other and honestly doesn’t this feel exciting? We’re basically strangers but someday we could know each other so well that I’d even become your best friend!! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝
From,
Your soon to be BEST FRIEND, Ei ♡⸜(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)⸝♡

Subject: You’re optimistic
Ei-chan,
Don’t just take my word for it, believe it :). Yes I get that a lot, thank you! I could talk about baseball for hours too. Sometimes I think all I do is live and breathe baseball. I am a catcher and I don’t know if I’m good but I’m definitely not bad. I’m probably better than you honestly :)
Wow, those were actually some great words coming from an idiot. I appreciate it. I honestly don't know how to feel. Like I said, my father made me do this. The only reason I agreed was because he met my mom using this pen pal system. It makes me feel closer to her, now that I’m actually emailing someone.
Best friends, huh. Haha. Look, I guess I don’t mind sharing things with you but don’t expect me to ever show you how I look or tell you where I live. We’re still strangers like you say. Maybe someday, if we’re still talking by then.
From,
Your favorite Senpai, Miyu

Miyu-chan,
I’ll believe it when I see it. That wasn’t exactly a compliment, bastard (•̀⤙•́ ). I feel you on that baseball comment. All I think about is baseball!! YOU’RE A CATCHER?!! That’s AMAZING \(>w<)/. I’m a pitcher!! One day, I’m going to make you catch for me, so wait for me, Miyu-senpai. Well, you probably learned from a coach so you are definitely better. I only have my friends and books to teach me about baseball. My friend who is a catcher can barely catch the balls I throw.
I AM NOT AN IDIOT ( ｡ •̀ ᴖ •́ ｡)💢.
Wait, that's so cute that you’re mom and dad met on the pen pal site!! Imagine finding your soulmate like that. What a dream (*˘︶˘*).｡*♡. You said it makes you feel closer to her? Do you not see your mom anymore?
Yes best friends („• ֊ •„)ヾ( ˃ᴗ˂ )◞ • *✰. I don’t expect anything but just you honestly. I want you to be comfortable with what you share with me. Don’t feel burdened to share anything just because I do. My friends tell me that I tend to over share but I don’t mind haha. Also, I probably won't be giving away how I look or where I’m from until I actually trust you. To be honest with you though, I feel like I can trust you.

Best friend material, Ei ♡⸜(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)⸝♡

Subject: You’re a sap
Ei-chan,
What happened to senpai? How can you call your precious senpai a bastard? I’m hurt Ei-chan :(. This is so weird. I can’t believe you’re a pitcher. Oh god why do I feel like you’ll be pestering me about catching for you for the foreseeable future?? You’re telling me you learned pitching without a coach??? Tell me what your friends say about your pitches!
You’re definitely sap and a closet romantic. Don’t tell me you read shoujo manga. My mom and dad fell in love while emailing each other. Now, Ei-chan, I’m very kind and handsome but you can not fall for me :).
My mom died when I was really young. I don’t remember much of her but I always remember warm hands and a beautiful smile. I guess talking to you will help me keep her memories alive. That’s the most I’ve shared with anyone. I feel like I can trust you too.
From,
The very best senpai you will ever have, Miyu
