Dear Kurt
First day of second year wasn't nearly as fun as first day of first year but it was okay and Wes and I catched up on what we did while not seeing each other.
I hope you had a great time in spain even tho it was the last three weeks of holidays and I missed you I did get your postcards and I love them. It's so beautiful there I maybe even got a little jealous.
Tell me about spain so I can imagine I was there myself.
How was your first day?

Hola Blaine
Spain was amazing, The cities we visited are beautiful, It was sunny and warm but not too hot, We also spend some days on the beach and I finally had so much time to catch up on the books I wanted to read, Now I can buy new books again,
I'm sorry I could only send you a postcard on your birthday and not talk about it with you in our letters but that would've been very expensive for both of us,
First day of third year was okay, Boring as always but did you expect something else from me?
How was your birthday?
Amor Kurt

Dear Kurt
Hola means hello right? And amor love? The language sounds so romantic. Like french and italian too. I can speak none of them haha.
Sounds like you had an amazing three weeks and I'm glad you had fun.
My birthday was okay. We didn't really do much. My dad had to work and my mom too, even tho she left early for me.
I spend the noon with Wes in the park and had dinner with my mom.
I also have a phone now because my mom said she could contact me better if I want to play with Wes and she comes home from work so we can eat in time and stuff you know?
Anything special coming up anytime soon for you?
Love Blaine

Dear Blaine
Yes, Actually it does and it's today, It's not a good way of special tho, It's quite personal but you're one of the few persons I trust the most so I want to tell you, It's okay if you don't want to read it,
Today two years ago my mom died (that's why I always only talk about me and my dad), I can't believe it's been two years already,
I still miss her so so much, I still remember her voice, her smell, her touches and all the other memories, Sorry if that sounds weird, I don't know how to put it in words,
The good thing is that last year this day my dad let me skip school and we go and visit her, eat at her favorite restaurant and go to her favorite place in the park,
We did that today too and even tho it was sad and kinda hard it was also nice to honor her that way and feel closer to her than most days of the year,
Maybe some day I tell you more about her but let me tell you something, she would've loved you,
Now that you have a phone do you want us to swap phone numbers? Because I don't really, I'm afraid that if we do we would lose this, Sure texts are faster but I kinda like it this old and traditional way,
Love Kurt

Dear Kurt
I'm sorry for your loss, I'm sure she was an amzing person when she raised such a kind person together with your dad. I'd love to read more about her but don't feel presured. Do it in your pace and when you feel comfortable.
This will be a short letter because I don't really have much to tell.
I don't want to lose this either so I'm okay with not swapping numbers. This is way cooler and more exclusive don't you think?
Are you okay?
Love Blaine

Dear Blaine
Yes I'm okay, Some days are harder but I feel the rest of the days it gets easier the more time passes, Also I don't think she would've want me to gried the whole time, She was a very cheerful person you know?
Oh and I almost forgot but a bit more than a year ago I found your ballon in my garden, the start of our friendship,
This might sound silly but I still have the ballon, It's stored in a box on my desk with all your letters, I know it's cheesy but I wouldn't want to throw them away after reading them and I didn't knew where else I should put them,
Exams are coming up. How are you feeling?
Love Kurt

After exams

Dear Kurt
Remember when I told you about my teachers? I told you I have a favorite teacher, Miss Tiger, but from this day on I also have a favorite teacher.
It's Mr Meyer. My maths teacher. Why I hate him? Because he hates me too (this could be a rant right now).
As you know we had exams and I had a really good feeling about this because Wes and I studied a lot for it.
But guess what I got. I got a C. a C!!! I never get C's and everyone knows that.
Mr Meyer didn't said anything when he gave me my exam back but he looked (what's the best word?) disaproving? I don't know how to explain the look he gave me.
And my parents? They know that I can do better and I know too but they take it serious. Very serious. Or at least my dad does. He actually wants to hire a tutor to help me get better until I'm back to A's and maybe even after so I don't risk getting B's or even C's.
I hate school. I hate Mr Meyer. I hate my dad. And I already hate this tutor that I didn't even met.
I hope you're doing better than me.
Did you get your exams back yet?
Love Blaine

Before dinner

"You got what!?" Robert Anderson roars at his son who flinches a little, mumbling quietly "A C in maths". "This has to be a mistake. I'll call your school and try to make it right. What's your teachers name? I will have him fired" the man says but his son shakes his head "It wasn't a mistake".

"But didn't you and Wes learn together?" now Pam Anderson asks and her son nods on what his dad asks "Did he also got a C?". "No. He- He got a B+" Blaine mumbles, knowing his dad won't like this answer. Why didn't he just lied?

"Okay that's it. You're getting a tutor!" Robert states. First Blaine hesitates but then asks "Can't Wes help me? I mean more than only studying together for exams?". "No. No. This kid can stay home. You get a professional tutor" Robert says.

"Oh and talking about staying home, you're grounded until your grades get better" he adds. The young boy whines "But dad we won't find out if they did until we get the next exams back". "I caouldn't care less. My house, my rules and if I say you're grounded then you're grounded.

You go to school and come back. You don't go out and play with this Wes kid" Robert says demanding and opens a bottle of beer. The- third?- since the beginning of the afternoon.

"That's three months Robert. Don't you think you're a bit too strict?" Pam asks carefully and Robert conters "Don't you think you should get dinner ready?". The woman swallows but nods "Yes in a few minutes. The water has to boil first".

Blaine looks at his dad who looks at his wife coldly and then back to Blaine. He gives him a dead glare and nods in direction of the stairs. Blaine nods and mumbles a quiet "Sorry" before running up the stairs and to his room, locking the door behind him.
