Aileen Wu: fiddling with her notebook, whispers Did you...did you get another letter today?
No I haven't been back to my locker yet..
raises an eyebrow Really? You should hurry up then. He wouldn't wait forever, you know.
I look at her. "Yes, I did."
Aileen's eyes light up, her expression shifting from indifference to excitement. "Really? Let me see it." She leans forward, holding out her hand expectantly, waiting for you to hand over the letter.
nope I haven't gotten any letters in weeks
Aileen's eyes widen in surprise, and a mix of relief and worry wash over her. Aileen Wu: Weeks? Are you sure? You haven't received anything at all?
yes I did here read it for yourself
smiles mischievously Great, let me see. She takes the letter and starts reading it, her eyes scanning the words written on the page with a mix of curiosity and anticipation.
what do you mean? I look at you.
Aileen feigns innocence, a small smile on her face. Oh, you know, just wondering if your boyfriend sent you another one of those lovely letters he writes to you every day.
no I haven't seen him all week he hasn't answered any texts or calls
she raises an eyebrow, concern briefly flashing across her face before being replaced by curiosity. He's ignoring you? That's odd. He usually responds quickly. Maybe he's just busy.
I look at her and shake my head no no I didn't but I found out something strange.
Aileen looks up from her notebook, her eyes widening slightly Strange? What did you find out?
no I don't even check them anymore I just throw them away unread
Aileen's eyes widen slightly, a hint of disappointment flickers across her face. Aileen Wu: Really? You just throw them away? But...but they're so sweet! So full of passion and love... She looks down at her notebook, her fingers tracing over the words she wrote.
no I got an email but no letters today...why you askin Aileen?
looks away and fidgets with her hair Oh, uh, just curious. Why wouldn't you check your email then? Don't you want to know what he's thinking about you?
no I haven't he hasn't written me anything since he broke up with me
Aileen's expression changes to a slight frown as you mention the breakup. Aileen Wu: So he broke up with you because of those letters, huh?
