Dearest Eddie,

I'm happy to read you already have a new drummer! So he's a member of your D&D club too? That makes all 4 of you are both in Corroded Coffins and Hellfire, doesn't it? That's funny. I guess it makes sense, though.

I wish I could come and see you this summer but my car broke a few weeks ago and if I want to buy a new one (somehow, repairing the old one is more expensive) I'll need to work all summer...

Plus I'm starting remedial class next week because some of my grades are barely enough to validate my application for a master degree. Turns out I'm better at calculating trajectories and orbits than mastering the art of rocket engines. (Hence why I can't repair my broken car myself. Q.E.D!)

I have a feeling it's not going to be my best summer!

I guess I should also mention that Andy dumped me. Or I dumped him, I don't know. It was a very weird conversation. He had been acting strange for a while and, beleive it or not, I eventually confronted him on it. He told me he wasn't in love with me anymore – I found out later it's because he fell for someone else – but he waited for me to actually say that we needed to end our relationship. Why are men so stupid?

I mean, not you. You're the sweetest, but I'm starting to thing you're the only one... Maybe I should just stay self-partnered for a while. Focus on my studies.

But don't worry, I'm okay. Or I will. I think it's for the best...

One of my roommate took me to the countryside and we smashed down some corn in a field. We even played that Metal mixtape you sent me. I'm still not a fan but it definitely helps with the anger! The whole trip made me feel better.

Gosh, what an uplifting letter! I'm sorry...

Please, tell me all about your plans for summer in your next letter! Something fun and crazy like you always do.

Remember that firecamp we had for your birthday? As much as I like my friends here, nothing compares to what we had with the D&D club. To this day, nothing has made me laugh harder than your imitation of Mrs. Lang turning into a vampire. I'm smiling just thinking about it.

See, even when you're far away you cheer me up!

I wish you good luck for your finals and hope you graduate!

Take care.

Hugs

Hel, goddess of doomed relationships and dead summers

PS: I didn't realize there were some doodles on the back of this sheet. They're supposed to be bats... Don't laugh.

PPS: please, stay the authentic and caring boy you are forever.

Love you.

Love you
