SUBJECT: what up dog???

Hey, what’s up, dude? It’s been a while since we talked on email since we can
meet in person when we want, whenever we want. My parents don’t want me to do
some heinous acts like that one time driving hammered. The slogan goes, “drive
hammered, get nailed.” Anyways, what’s going on with you?

Sincerely,
Simon “Jacques”

I’m doing fine and you have really grown up from the beginning of the story.
Apparently, they’re making a documentary about the experience. You used to be a shy
person until you opened up your true colors to me. Quarter 3 Finals hitting me hard from
all fronts. Most of my classes got finals. If I don’t pass these finals my parents are gonna
kill me. I hope I pass these final exams after several sleepless nights of reviewing.

Yours truly,
Blue

SUBJECT: the dreaded triple dog dares to I-HOP.

I barely passed my finals at 85%. I must admit I could’ve done better by studying
for the detailed parts I never understood in the first place. Mrs. Albright was pretty nice
and didn’t throw a final essay or an exam at us. She’s my man. Anyways when I got
home my parents and Nora dared me to go to I-HOP, a restaurant similar to WaHo but
specialized in Pancakes rather than Waffles. That’s pointless, Waffles are clearly better
than pancakes Blue. Anyways Nick Leah and Abby are coming to try to see how things
work and their customer service. There are 11 stores near Atlanta and on several sites
and even yelp, it says 2 out of 5 stars. Dang, no wonder we’ve been eating and
rehearsing at Waffle House. Anyway enough jibber jabber, time to head to
quote-unquote “International House of Pancakes”.

Love
Simon “Jacques”

Man, I-HOP sucks because I know a friend who ordered online and got
re-directed to the cringe-worthy Grubhub with its notorious TV commercials and got no
food and wasted money. Even when customers are dining in, they have terrible
customer service and customers tend to complain about the food. Waffle House has
better reviews at 3.5 stars on Yelp and some have 5-star reviews, some so-so, and
some at 1-star reviews with many reasons to complain. Anyways, let’s see how you
react to the “terrible” customer service at I-HOP

Sincerely,
Blue

SUBJECT: XD fun day today XD what u wanna do man?

Hey, blue maybe we can go on another date going golfing or going for a hike or
doing water sports like going kayaking or going to a water park with my friends. I wanna
soak up every last minute of Spring Break before school starts for the last quarter.
What’s on your mind blue? To answer your last question, I-HOP was a little better than I
thought, could still be better. My personal rating is 3 out of 5 stars. What do you want to
do tomorrow?

I totally agree with you to soak up everything fun before school. I think we should
go to a water park like Six Flags White Water, surely they’ll accept you, you’re 5’8” for all
I know of. Anyways let’s go, Simon!

Love,
Blue.

That was so cool, I had so much fun at the water park today. I hope we could
come there again soon. Until next time, talking to you was one of the biggest deals and
greatest decisions I could ever make.

Yours Truly,
Simon.
