You see, this year I have decided to get a boyfriend and unfortunately (for you) I simply don’t have the time to both continue my pen-pal responsibilities and give this new task the focus it requires.  \nI don’t want to lie to you and say that getting a boyfriend is the only reason I’m stopping my letters. I think, Jean-Pierre, you are partly to blame. We have been writing letters to each otherfor nearly two years now and there hasn’t been the slightest hint that you’ll invite me to France despite me having invited you to my house several times. Invitations that you have, rather rudely, ignored. There was also the issue last year when you addressed your letter to someone called “Felix” and in the process made it abundantly clear that ours was not an exclusive writing relationship. Have you invited Felix to Normandy, Jean-Pierre?? Don’t even bother responding to that because I shan’t reply. Lastly, and I don’t quite know when this happened, butI’ve noticed that we now write all of our letters in English and because of this, my French has not improved at all. I wish you well and I hope that life is kind to you and despite all of this I genuinely hope that you get onto the tennis team this year. I know how important that is to you.  \nBut like I said, this is the last you will ever hear from me.  \nKind regards, à bientôt, Patrick Simmons (Patch)  \nHARRY TRE VAL DW YN  \nPS In your first ever letter, you attached a Milka chocolate bar (which was quite the incentive for keeping up our pen-pal relationship, and I wrongly assumed they would be a regular addition to your letters). I think it would be a really classy and symbolic move to send me one more as a final “adieu” to our writing relationship. Also, they are really quite hard to find here. Okay, now that is the last you’ll ever hear from me, properly this time.  \nAu revoir!  \nPatrick Simmons (Patch) ~~xxx~~  \nChapter 1  \nIcross out the kisses at the end of my letter because I think it  \nundermines the gravity ofwhat I’m saying. My chair creaksas I lean back and hold the letter up for inspection. Faultless penmanship, as always.  \nI do feel a bit guilty for ending my pen-pal relationship with Jean-Pierre but “in order to make room for new relationships in my life I have to weed out the ones that aren’t bearing fruit.” I learned that phrase from one of my mum’s self-help books, which I’ve taken to borrowing on a semishort-term basis. If you look past the tacky covers there are some real pearls of wisdom there. It’s fascinating how much is applicable to both a divorcée in her midforties and a queer sixteen-year-old, especially as we’re both desperately seeking a man. While, of course, seeming to be happy on our own in order to lure them in. Ah, Jean-Pierre, au revoir!  \nIt’s worth noting that I have been in love twice before. The first time was with Fred: very charming with neat blond hair and a penchant for accessories. The problem was that he was an animated character on Scooby-Doo. I appreciate that he was romantically linked with Daphne but I always felt  \nHARRY TRE VAL DW YN  \ntheir chemistry to be somewhat lacking. Fred took charge, which I found very appealing (but now find a bit problematic), and he, alongside Velma, was a large factor in why the gang had such a high success rate when I don’t think any of them were formally trained in detective work. The second time was with Josh, who was definitely a real person, but things turned sour when I discovered he was a paid babysitter rather than a seventeen-year-old genuinely interested in my origami and who weirdly enjoyed enforcing bedtimes.  \nYou have to be organized in order to fall in love so I’ve given myself a “boyfriend deadline.” The end of the school year feels much too far away; I’m ready to take the leap nowand I’ll get com","cbCaiuoBqReAiKNb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuoBqReAiKNb","pdf",982127,23,"English","# Chapter 1\n## Ending the pen-pal relationship\n## The boyfriend deadline and Prom plan\n## Prom preparations and family interruption","[{\"question\":\"Why does the narrator stop writing to Jean-Pierre?\",\"answer\":\"She wants a boyfriend and says she lacks time to maintain pen-pal responsibilities.
