The plot is AMAZING, but it's definitely not real. I would say the most obvious reason is that the school would have known something was wrong and had the police investigate. It was a penpal program, but one kid is getting weird photos with no letters? And like 50 of them? That's incredibly strange and suspicious. If anything, they would have stopped giving him the pictures. Plus, the first part of each story is practially telling us "this isn't real".

With that said, I think this is one of the most believable pastas. When people think JtK really happened, I just roll my eyes. But when people think Penpal really happened, it's perfectly understandable.
