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.

[lovelycassie]

Oh, wow Link. Do you want company? I'm really good at being company.

[Private]
Oh, well, then I say yes.

[testdriveme]

I don't want you to go so much out of your way.

[Private]

You don't even know what it is yet.

private;

[lovelycassie]

Oh. Then maybe no. What's on your mind?

private;

[testdriveme]

I'm thinking of dating.

private;

[lovelycassie]

Oh, wow Link! That's such lovely news! I really think you're ready. Any boy in particular?

private;

[testdriveme]

What? No. I'm thinking of dating a girl.

private;

[lovelycassie]

Oh...

[The longest pause]

I think this is a few steps backwards, Link

private;

[testdriveme]

No, it isn't..

private;

[lovelycassie]

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

private;

[testdriveme]

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

private;

[lovelycassie]

But did you like it?

private;

[testdriveme]

I don't.. remember. Yeah?

private;

[lovelycassie]

[frustration]

Wow...

Are you thinking of anyone in particular?

private;

[testdriveme]

No. I was hoping.. you could help.

private;

[lovelycassie]

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

private;

[testdriveme]

Yes, it is.
