Dear Jamie,
when were together,
I feel like were
not in high school,
but in our own little
Chris-and-Jamie world.
Whether were watching
"Party of Five"
or practicing our cheers,
I feel like I can
just be myself.

She was at the window, and she called out to me. I thought she wanted me to get her some cigarettes.
I went up for the money, and her robe fell open.
And there she was naked as the day she was born. Holy shit!
She did it on purpose to excite me. I was an idiot. I should have jumped at the chance.
If it happens again, Ill bang her brains out.

when the teenage miracle
reached full bloom...
and everyone in England stopped
what they were doing...
to stare at what had happened.

Nobody knew exactly why.
But after so many dreary year
