Hello,

I know you don't know me very well, but I had to write you a letter to warn you to not listen to a single thing Caleb Blackwood might tell you. Actually, just don't even look at him. He's driving me crazy, and I would rather he not contaminate you with his special brand of insanity as well.

Good luck,
Julian Delaire

P.S. You're friends with Ainsley, right? If he asks her out, could you kindly keep me informed? Without telling him, of course. Don't tell him anything. I mean it. For your own good.

[Addie Beaumont]

Hi, Julian,

Actually, I'm pretty sure I can put together a good picture of you from all Ainsley tells me. Let me guess - quiet, brooding, loner? Likes to lean up against walls? I've met a few of you in my time, let me tell you.

I have absolutely no idea what you're prattling on about with regards to Caleb (isn't he your friend??) but I'll take your words in heed. Thanks for the advice, I'm sure it'll come in handy. Maybe.

Love,
Addie

P.S. I have so many questions. First, do you like Ainsley? You need to tell me if you do and expect me to listen to you at all. Second, why would Caleb even ask Ainsley out? They're just friends. Did something happen? Third, was that a threat? Don't threaten me. That's all.

[Julian Delaire]

Adaline,

Ainsley talks about me? Is that really what Ainsley's told you? I like to lean against walls? Really?

Caleb's not my friend. He's a bastard. Trust me. You're better off far away from him.

Sincerely,
Julian

P.S. In order: No, I don't like Ainsley, not like that. Caleb is a bastard, I have covered this. I wasn't threatening, I was helpfully informing. I'd never dare threaten the girl my formerly best friend is in love with. Have a good night.

[Addie Beaumont]

Julian,

First of all, I go by Addie, not Adaline.

Yes, that's the only thing she's told me. You like to lean against walls. My entire image of you consists of you leaning against walls. Also, you're a dumbass.

Well, Caleb seems perfectly nice to me. You're going to have to elaborate if you want me to believe you.

Love,
Addie

P.S. Are you absolutely sure? Because I can see the way you look at her, you know. And what do you mean your 'formerly best friend' is in love with me?? Are we talking about Caleb? Who am I kidding, of course we are, you don't have other friends. But he's not in love with me what are you on?

[Julian Delaire]

Adaline Addie,

I don't really care, sorry. Will keep that in mind.

I was going to defend myself against your dumbass accusation, but I can't be bothered to put in the effort.

He's a fucking Look, he's pissed at me for some stupid reason. And I have the feeling he'll write to either you or Ainsley or both in order to somehow get back at me. So I'm covering my bases here. Has he written you?

Sincerely,
Julian

P.S. I'm positive. I don't look at her any special way, you're delusional. Yes, we're talking about Caleb, obviously. He's head over heels in love with you. Ask Ainsley if you don't believe me.

[Addie Beaumont]

Julian,

Thank you, I do so appreciate it.

Well, fine. My accusation still stands unchallenged and true.

A stupid reason? What's this stupid reason? I'd bet it's not as stupid as you seem to think. As a matter of fact, he has written to me. Is this a problem?

Love,
Addie

P.S. I'm positive you're the only one who's delusional here. About yourself and about Caleb both. There's no way he's in love with me. He rarely ever talks to me! Where are you even getting this from??

[Julian Delaire]

Addie,

It is stupid. And I'm not particularly inclined to share it with you, sorry. YES IT'S A FUCKING PROBLEM what did he say? If he's talking about me behind my back, don't you think I have the right to know?

I'm moving the post scripts up here because it's getting stupid. I'm not delusional about my own fucking feelings, thanks. As for Caleb, well, perks of being his best friend for five years. You start to notice which girls are serious and which aren't. Here's a hint: the ones he makes out with in broom closets aren't that serious. The ones he watches with hearts in his eyes as they walk past him probably are.

Guess which one you are? Unless you have something to tell me about you, Caleb, and broom closets, I guess.

Sincerely,
Julian

[Addie Beaumont]

Julian Delaire.

Did you have sex with Astraia Yaxley?

Tell me the truth, and I'll consider not telling Ainsley about this.

Addie

P.S. I like post-scripts and you're a fucking idiot. Shut up about Caleb. Shut up about everything.

[Julian Delaire]

Why are you full-naming me?

What does it matter to you if I had sex with Astraia or not? I don't care if you tell Ainsley. Why would I care about that? What would you even tell her? Her sometimes study partner maybe had sex with a girl??

Jesus fuck, why are you mad at me?

Julian

[Addie Beaumont]

You know what, I'm not talking to you anymore. Have a nice life, Julian.

Addie
