E1: M-Missy

M: I get it

S: What do you get

M: Why you don’t want to go to college

S: I doubt that you do

M: You’re scared that everything’s gonna be different and it’ll be hard. And you’re gonna miss the way it was.

S: How do you know that

M: Cause that’s how I feel

S: You’re scared?

M: Yeah

S: So what do we do?

M: I guess be scared and do it anyway

S: It’s comforting to know that you feel the same way that I do

M: That’s why I said it, dumbass

Dear Connie, you may have heard I’ve taken a job at the new supercollider in Waxahachie. I wanted to tell you in person, but, uh, I was afraid you’d be upset. And honestly, I was even more afraid you wouldn’t be. This also gives me an excuse to use my astronaut pen and not upside down. But if I was, it would still write.
