Semester Breaks

by slam a revolving door

Dani is at university. There is one person in the world whom is loathes with a passion. When she is continuously thrust into his presence, will hate turn to love in the age old cliche? Modern P&P of course you know it will.

jencogmatic: thank you for being our only reviewer. Sorry it took so long to update. :)

drugged-on-chocolate: what are you DOING, reviewing this? You helped write this for heavens sake. And it wouldn't matter so much if you actually reviewed. Boredom taking over? I ask you! Gr... :D

Re: How are you?

Dear Andrew,

How are you? How are your tutorials going?

I'm fine. Mrs Annerley is a very nice person, and a very dedicated governess. I like her very much.

Yes, Arabella leaves on Monday, which means you'll probably be back in Melbourne before she arrives. Which, I suppose, is a good thing?

Nevertheless, both Arabella and Louisa have been very kind to me. I think they have had a good time here. They have been invited to so many parties. Arabella wanted me to go too, but you know I can't stand the crowds and the noise. It's just so overwhelming. Besides, I don't want to leave the grounds.

I miss you. When are you coming home?

Love

Sophy

Hey

Everybody has their good points says:

Hello

Still alive says:

So, how well do you know Charlie?

Everybody has their good points says:

Well…

Still alive says:

I KNEW it. You like him!

Everybody has their good points says:

Dani! I've only known him for a day….or 2….fine, maybe 3

Still alive says:

I hate to say it, no I love it, but I told you so.

Everybody has their good points says:

sigh

Everybody has their good points says:

Besides, what about Rupert?

Still alive says:

What about him?

Everybody has their good points says:

I'm your sister, I know these things.

Still alive says:

FINE okay! I like him

Everybody has their good points says:

I'm sure he's very nice

Still alive says:

He is! I wouldn't like someone that's a snob would I.

Everybody has their good points says:

You mean like poor Andrew? He's probably just shy.

Still alive says:

Either that, or a snob

Everybody has their good points says:

Dani….

Still alive says:

Gracie….

Everybody has their good points says:

I'm sure he's a very nice person underneath. Everyone has their good points, you should remember that.

Still alive says:

Why should I? when you insist on reminding me?

Everybody has their good points says:

So tell me about Rupert

Still alive says:

He's cute & smart & funny and still talks to me though Im not…..rich (he knows that im here on a scholarship) 

Everybody has their good points says:

Mother and Father do the best they can. Charlie's friend is on a scholarship somewhere in Melbourne.

Still alive says:

Name? where? He might be nice…Mum would love that.

Everybody has their good points says:

I don't remember his name, Anthony? Andrew? Albert? I don't know. He does something, humanities or some art. He has to be nice. He's Charlie's best friend. Please don't speak of Mother like that; it isn't nice.

Still Alive. says:

As long as it isn't Andrew. I knew one once….painful.

Everybody has their good points says:

Your tutor? Look, I have to go. Mum wants the computer. Bye! See ya!

That's great Mum

I wonder if they have a future. They'd make a lovely couple.

Still alive says:

MUM! You promised to leave our love lives (or lack there of) alone.

SO SPIFFY says:

Don't talk back.

SO SPIFFY says: What do you mean 'lack there of'? haven't you met anyone yet? I didn't sent you to an expensive college for nothing you know.

Still alive says:

Mum, I'm on a scholarship. You didn't pay a cent!

Still alive says:

There are lots of nice boys here, just not for me

SO SPIFFY says:

I do wish you would hurry up and settle down. Why do you insist on getting a further education? It never got anyone anywhere.

Still alive says:

Except for…

SO SPIFFY says:

I'm an old woman you know. I would like to see my grandchildren.

Still alive says:

Mum, you're 45. NOT OLD!

SO SPIFFY says:

Oh but, dear I am suffering from terrible health.

Still alive:

Oh Mum, Aunt Philips is NOT a doctor. Look, I have to go to class. I'll see you all, and the new neighbours on Sunday. Bye.
