Dear Ms. Delacroix,
Enclosed please find your manuscript, which we are sorry to say we do not believe is the right fit for us at this time. We wish you the best of luck placing it elsewhere.
Sincerely,
Heartland Romance Publications
I had to hide the above from J.P., who’s here right now. He came over after school today. It’s the first time in months he didn’t have play rehearsal or I didn’t have princess lessons or one of us didn’t have therapy.
So. He came over.
He’s out in the living room right now, talking to Mom and Mr. G about his movie deal. I’m “changing for Boris’s concert.”
But, obviously I’m not. I’m writing about what happened when he came over instead. Which is that I totally tried VERY VERY HARD to get my MHCs to respond to his. I did this by doing what Tina did, when she saw Boris in his swimsuit.
Yes. I jumped his bones.
Or I tried to, anyway. I just figured, if I could get J.P. to kiss me—really kiss me, the way Michael used to, when we were having a heavy-duty make-out session in his dorm room—maybe everything would be all right. Maybe I wouldn’t have to worry about pretending I have a cold tomorrow when I have lunch with Michael. Maybe I won’t be so super attracted to him anymore.
But it didn’t work.
Not that J.P. pushed me away, or anything. He kissed me back, and stuff. He tried. He really did try.
But he kept stopping every thirty seconds or so to talk about his movie deal.
I’m not even joking.
Like about how “Sean” had asked him to write the screenplay. (I guess a screenplay isn’t the same as writing a play. J.P. has to rewrite the whole thing from scratch now, in a different computer program.)
And how J.P. is seriously considering moving out “to the Coast” so he can be there for the filming.
He’s even debating putting school off for a year so he can work on the movie. Because you can go to school any time.
But you can only be one of the hottest young screenwriters in Hollywood once.
Anyway, he asked me to come with him. Out to Hollywood.
