Dear Classmate,

I am writing to you with a simple question, but I need to make a few things clear beforehand to avoid any misunderstandings:

1.) This is information I have received from a source I can't reveal.

2.) If it is false information, I sincerely apologize on behalf of my source for lying, and additionally hope that you won't get irritated with me for attempting to confirm whether or not the information is false.

3.) If it is true information, I will end up having a second question. (Hint: the second question is simply Why?).

4.) Either way, I promise I won't be spreading any rumors, so I hope you're truthful in your reply.

The question: Did you have sex with Julian?

Regards,
Caleb

Did you seriously just address a letter to me as "Classmate"?

Yes. As to why, I am still somewhat unsure as to how it happened. I certainly didn't start the day intending for it to happen; we were just working on a shared essay. he ran away I ran away from my own house

I didn't expect him to talk about it (I am assuming that he's the source you're referring to) I'm not exactly the world's most desired catch, after all. You seem quite frantic about this, so I am sorry if this has upset you in any way—believe me, it was not my intention. none of this was

you honestly can't understand how much I regret this I think I lost one of the only people who even talks to me He initiated it but he'll probably never speak to me ever again which is completely unfair but

I hope the rest of your summer is well,
Astraia

Dear Astraia,

Yeah, I did, thanks for pointing that out. I started off trying to maintain some sense of formality as the purpose of my letter was to ask whether you slept with my best friend or not, which I thought might have been a sensitive topic, so I’m sorry if that put you off. Clearly being formal and asking questions about sex do not work well together.

I wasn’t trying to put any sort of blame on you or ask how it happened - I was just asking a simple question. I’m seriously not anyone to judge about your sex life, so you don’t have to worry about that. Oh he talked about it alright Why would I be upset? All I wanted to know is if he was telling me the truth or not, so thank you for confirming. I appreciate it.

Same to you,
Caleb

Dear Caleb,

Oh, okay. Thank you for your explanation. It would probably work on the right person, I was just surprised.

Upset wasn't the right word, really; just a bit urgent, I guess? Or invested in it. But yes, it's no problem.

See you at school,
Astraia

Astraia,

No problem! I actually think this whole thing is super unfair to you because I hope we're cool.

Yeah, I might be slightly invested in it, but it's not a big deal. Thanks again for writing back.
