Number 55.

My mum and dad wrote to me saying they're going to Italy for the summer. They'll only be home for a week when I get out of school, and then they'll be gone until August. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself for nearly three months.


[Private to Cassie]

I need your opinion on something.

Wow, Link. Do you even like sleeping with girls?

private;

[testdriveme.livejournal.com]

What kind of question is that? I've only been with one girl.

private;

[lovelycassie.livejournal.com]

But did you like it?

private;

[testdriveme.livejournal.com]

I don't.. remember. Yeah?

private;

[lovelycassie.livejournal.com]

[frustration]

Wow...

Are you thinking of anyone in particular?

private;

[testdriveme.livejournal.com]

No. I was hoping.. you could help.

private;

[lovelycassie.livejournal.com]

Oh, Link... This is really surprising. But if you tell me this is what you want, I'll help you.

private;

[testdriveme.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is.

[lovelycassie.livejournal.com]

[another long pause]

So what exactly do you need my opinion on? Who to date?

private;

[testdriveme.livejournal.com]

You know all the girls who are single.

private;

[lovelycassie.livejournal.com]

What are you looking for exactly? I mean, this is pretend, right? You're not really looking for sex, or romance.

private;

[testdriveme.livejournal.com]

Why wouldn't I be looking for someone to be with for a long time?

private;

[lovelycassie.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow. I guess you could look for that... but I don't think that's really fair.

private;

[testdriveme.livejournal.com]

I don't see anything wrong with it.

private;

[lovelycassie.livejournal.com]

Are you really going to make me say it, Link?

private;

[testdriveme.livejournal.com]

Just go ahead and say it.

private;

[lovelycassie.livejournal.com]

You're just using them. Either to get over Puck, or to lie to the rest of the school. It doesn't matter.

private;

[testdriveme.livejournal.com]

It's not lying to anybody. I've dated girls before.

private;

[lovelycassie.livejournal.com]

Link, you dated a girl, and you were miserable. You don't know what you want.

private;

[testdriveme.livejournal.com]

And how do you know what I want?

private;

[lovelycassie.livejournal.com]

I don't, Link. You're being incredibly selfish.

private;

[testdriveme.livejournal.com]

I think I'm allowed to be selfish for once. I've always done what I was told.

private;

[lovelycassie.livejournal.com]

I don't envy any girl that ends up with you.

private;

[testdriveme.livejournal.com]

If you don't want anything to do with this, that's fine. I'll just figure things out for myself.

private;

[lovelycassie.livejournal.com]

Wow, Link, because you're doing so well on your own.
