Dear Kevin,

I hope you are well and that you are having the good time in California with the West Coast Annex people. I am good. Mr. Logan has come back and we are doing the wood carving again together. There are also many new people coming to the mansion since you left. There is Miss Lil, who is very tall and cannot be hurt, even by my skin. And there is Cammie, who is the older student who has the poison blood and is drinking things like the drain cleaner and not being sick. She is another of our "no touching people" club, since she makes people sick if she is doing so for too long. There is the new boy also, Julian. He is very good looking and kind.

There is also the news of Jay. I was telling you that he had come back changed, yes? It is more than we were thinking; the person who made his wings metal was changing his mind also, to being the hunter like Mr. Logan and he is very angry and unhappy. Dr. Grey and Mr. Logan are finding the ways to help him and he is allowed to be leaving the medical place and have the visitors, but he cannot be upset or his wings are trying to hurt people. Mr. Logan says he will be learning to be the person again, but for now, he is not wanting to be seeing anyone so much. We are trying to look after him.

I am missing you very much sometimes, especially when the mansion is so noisy and full. Sometimes I am going down to the workshop to be practicing what you are teaching me. I am not the great artist like you are being, but I think I will have the nice surprise for you when I am visiting during the spring break.

I have to be going now. My study period is finished and I have the History class with Mr. Guthrie to go to.

Love,

Yvette.

Yvette,

Yeah, it's pretty good out here. Doesn't get as cold as NY or Muir. Kinda nice to not wonder if I've got enough layers so that I don't shiver when I go outside. I've been working on something for you. It keeps getting messed up, though, so I keep having to scrap it and start over. I was real determined to make it work at one point but it ended up like three inches high and that just wasn't really working. Had to admit defeat. That sucked. Started again yesterday. If I'm real lucky I might get it done before you come see me. Probably not though.

Julian? The guy that plays basketball? Got to the mansion right before I left? Good looking? Do I need to threaten to take his hands if he touches you? Because I pretty much will. And probably without your permission so don't go answering that. Actually, I should delete all that and get on with the friendly email to Julian but I'm too lazy to.

You told me he was all metal and blue and stuff, yeah. Jay wasn't ever angry though. Can't picture that. He was sort of annoyingly cheerful. Unless I was pissing him off. Everyone's got a talent, right? How many times he been in the medlab since he got back? You think I should come back? I mean...you think it'd help him if I was around? Or am I included in that "anyone"?

I get a surprise? Score! I miss you, too. I got a surprise for you when you're out here too. Not the one I keep messing up. You'll like it. Promise. Oh! And awesome trick. If I can manage to get better at it in the next like month and a half or whatever.

Being out here is good, though. Seriously. I think Dr. Samson is starting to get visions of me being well adjusted in his head from the reports my therapist out here sends him. Sorta jumping the gun but all this hopeful is kinda a cool change. I keep saying "dude." Way too much. I'm going to sound like Kyle by time you see me. Scary, dude. (I should delete that before sending this.)

Whatever happened to that play you said you were auditioning for last time you emailed me?

Don't let anyone mess with you, either!

Love,
Kevin

I am so glad to hear you are doing well! It makes me happy to be hearing you sound so much better. :) There is no need to be making the threats to Julian. He has plenty of the girls who he is liking and none of them are me. And I am forgetting I did not tell you about the play. I am to be Puck! I am liking the rehearsing, but I am nervous about standing in front of the audience. The director is telling me that is the normal thing and that I should be trying to think like the role I am in. So maybe I should start playing the tricks on people, yes?

About Jay... I do not think it is the good idea for you to be seeing him, Kevin. He has said many times he does not want you to see him the way he is and he is so angry now. I think it might be dangerous for now for you to see him. Perhaps you could be writing to Dr. Grey to be asking her advice?

I will be glad to see you in April. I miss you.

Love,

Yvette.

Well, then Julian can keep his hands. Even if he's stupid. You should definitely play tricks on people. Maybe I'll ask around here to see if anyone can think up good ones for you. Jamie probably can. Not sure if any of them can be pulled off when there's just one of you, though. You'll be good. You shouldn't worry. Wish I could come see the play but that's probably a not so much kinda thing.

Dangerous? I was supposed to be the dangerous one. I'll email Dr. Grey later or something. In a couple days.

Don't worry, you'll be so sick of seeing me in April you'll be running away!

Love,
Kevin
