RE: Senior Pen Pal Assignment

Thank God you clarified. Matthew McFadyen is the one and only true Mr. Darcy. It’s a well-known fact. And just so we’re clear, because I’m sure you’re already thinking it, no, that isn’t sarcasm.

Fucking emails.

I won’t lie, now that we know a little more about each other, I won’t be able to stop wondering which girl is you when I roam the halls.

Can I be honest here? This is probably going completely against the rules, but I want to know more about you, and not in the way our teachers want.

I don’t want to keep talking to you through emails.

We don’t have to stop emailing altogether.

I know how much a perfect score on this assignment means to you.

Last thing I need is you blaming me alone for destroying your educational dreams.

I want to write you a letter. Would that be okay?

Tell me the best place to leave it. A place we know neither of us will see the other when we drop it off or pick it up.
