Although Fi was ecstatic about her brief flirtation in the hall earlier, she could not shake the
memory of the fair-haired boy who seemed to stare her down in the hall.
Maybe it was nothing, it was probably nothing, she said to herself. But something about him
seemed so familiar. She decided to forget about it and log onto her computer.
"Let's see..." she said as she scanned her e-mail. No surprise there was a message from her
mother, she scrolled down. Wow, an e-mail from Jack... he hardly ever writes.
She double clicked and opened it.
Dear Fi- October 30-04
Hey Sis, what's going on? Just writing to see how you are... and what you're up to. Mom is still
crazy over you're leaving, though you wouldn't know it to look at her, or talk to her, but I know
it. You'd know it too, if you were here.
It's Halloween tomorrow, so I figured it's almost like your birthday. Yeah, uh, anyway, I'll let
you go. Just checking up on you.
Write when you can, I guess.
Love,
Jack
That was sweet of him, he seemed like he was holding something back. That kind of message
makes it hard what to know to write back. I'll call mom later and ask if anything is wrong.
Dear Jack-
Hey. That was nice of you to write, it's so, so, unlike you. Ha ha, just kidding you, Bro.
Is everything okay there? "There" meaning wherever the heck you guys are! Truthfully, I wish I
were there with you guys now. I miss you guys a lot. School is ...okay. It is kind of strange being
around people my own age. I've never seen so many of them before. ï
