It’s funny how when you start a story you might not be sure what you want to say or how to say it, but the more you write, the clearer it becomes. I would not have expected that, had I not embarked on this project. Before I continue, I wanted to say that I noticed yesterday that you were wearing not just lipstick, but also, forgive me for pointing it out, a new scent. In English, I noticed that Mr. Wells also wore a new scent. He didn’t overshoot the mark into Axe Body Spray territory, but he definitely smelled of something effortful. Coincidence? Ha! Won’t it be funny and charmingly awkward when you two confab over this chapter at the end of term! I know you told me not to make comments about you and Mr. Wells in the text, but footnotes aren’t really the text, as you’ve pointed out when you say that they have a way of “pulling you out of the text.” Anyway, it’s like you always tell us in class: a writer must be brave and honest. Politeness is the death of good prose. God, I kill myself sometimes.
