Fine, Jack.

Be the mature one.

But are you really sure that you want to? The picture is sure to make other guys on base jealous. Faith is really pretty and she owns more leather than . . . well, she owns a lot of leather. You get the picture. Or you could get the picture?

School is going pretty well. Half the girls in my classes have been absent and everyone else has been edgy and short-tempered. Dawn’s been a little distant and Willow and Xander haven’t been home in a week. They keep leaving messages on the answering machine for me.

I think they’re trying to be nice and give me some privacy for when I went off the deep end after Daniel told me, but that doesn’t explain why the sudden flu going around. I haven’t caught it. A lot of my friends have been really quiet, they might be fighting the sickness. We all spend a lot of time together studying. The Giles’ house has been really quiet. Dr. Giles has been distracted but is teaching us just as much stuff as always.

He’s been assigning more homework.

That I need to do.

I really love you, Jack.

Cassie
