Kurt had hardly gotten away from his computer when he heard the little chime alerting him that he had mail.
"She e mailed me back," He said to himself in shock. With a mixture of excitement and nervousness he read the short message and thought carefully about what to say. He obviously couldn't tell her the truth, but at the same time it wasn't in his nature to lie. So he would have to tell her a half-truth then, and get off on a technicality. He could do that.
"But I don't want to sound too desperate by replying right away, right?" He asked no one. He considered it and decided to go ahead and reply.
"Dear Ami,
I'm sorry I did not include more information about myself in my last e-mail, I guess I was just nervous. Honestly though, I'm not sure what you want to know. My name is Kurt, as I have told you already, and I live in a school, but I am not a student. I am originally from Germany and used to be in the circus. I am also 24 years old, and obviously not very well versed in the use of the internet. While I read often, I must admit I do not write nearly as much as I should. Thank you for responding so quickly, and I await your next e-mail.
Sincerely,
Kurt"
