Dear Nini,

             I know it's been eleven years since I last sent you a letter. But the last time, I actually got some postcards and a response back! I'm going crazy over here, still questioning myself every single day. I've kicked myself for not being able to say that to you. It's just...well, it's a big barrier. When you come back, I promise I'll make things up to you. It's been really hard nowadays, because my parents are yelling at each other nonstop, but when they see me, they just put on these fake smiles and tell me that everything's alright when it's not.

                                          Yours truly,
                                          Richard Bowen.

Dear Nini,

        How are you settling in at your new school? I hope you are doing fine. I miss you a lot over here. School just isn't the same without you. I know that they probably don't allow phones over there, so I've been taking the time to write out letters. We're putting on a production of Beauty and the Beast for the Alan Menken High School Musical Theater Awards (which I will abbreviate to AMHSMTA to save time) against North High, who is doing Little Mermaid. I got the part of the Beast, and everyone is terrified by my roar. It's really confusing. So the theater teacher for NHS is "Zacky Roy," Miss Jenn's ex-boyfriend. Now Carlos got the part of Lumiere; which kind of suits him, but I would've picked Cogsworth for him. The perfectionist attitude is DEFINITELY a match. Kourtney is Belle, and...I have to kiss your best friend. Sorry!

      How's it going? Life back here is...tough. Dad is a walking zombie and Mom is living in Chicago with Todd, and my family life has just been...messed up. Between you, Red and the musical, those are the only things that are keeping me alive. It's hard to imagine a musical without you.

       I hope you receive this letter.

Love, (ah, it is such a relief to be able to write this!) Richard Bowen.

Dear Nini,

Ah, happy Valentine's Day.

The day to celebrate love.

In my house, love doesn't exist.

I feel...lost. And most importantly, alone.

The best present this Valentine's Day would be something from you. I don't care, it can just be a letter, a song, anything.

Everyone at school is coupling off. Ashlyn and Red, Seb and Carlos, EJ and Gina, even Kourtney and another girl, Riley.
