Dear Robbie,
How did the football tryouts go? When will you find out? I still can’t believe you want to be on the football team. I thought you were going to focus on art this year! Speaking of which, I can get you a spot doing a comic strip for the
Marathon
. I called it “The Out of Towners” so that you can draw it, but no one will know it was you. It will be brilliant. I can tell you all the gossip around the school and then you can make fun of it in your comic.
This week we got a ton of Math homework. I’m going to be doing it all weekend. But the new Drama teacher, Hark, started a playwright club AND it’s only open to grade nines and a few grade eights. It’s really serious. We’re going to put on our own plays this year! If you were here, we could have totally made Zombie School into a play (it would be better as a play than Von’s dumb movie anyway), but I don’t want to “steal your ideas” (as you like to remind me), so I’m going to do something else. I really thought Kennedy was going to join the group too, but she didn’t. Not that I care, I just thought it was weird. It’s probably for the best. I don’t really want to have to see her all the time anyway. She’s being so bossy at the newspaper meetings. It’s like she thinks she has the final say on everything.
Are you coming back to spend Thanksgiving with your dad? I hope so.
Yours truly,
Arthur Bean

Dear Hark,
Here’s my poem for the performance poetry assignment. What do you think? I wanted to go with something classic at first, but I didn’t know what to do and it all sounded so boring. I thought about using a Jay Z rap song, but Von told me he was doing that. Instead I wrote this over the weekend. Is it OK? I don’t want to sound stupid, especially if everyone else is doing a famous poem and mine is the only one that isn’t famous. Maybe it’s not even all that good. I bet you’ll be honest with me. You seem like the type of guy who would be honest with his students. Anyway, I made sure it didn’t rhyme because I didn’t want it to sound too childish and I looked through all your poetry books and just used their style of free verse.
Yours truly,
Arthur Bean
I’m No Detective
By Arthur Bean
I’m no detective,
but
I can’t help but notice that you’re around.
Maybe it’s by accident
That you’re close by
That your seat is next to mine
More than it isn’t next to mine
It could just be a coincidence
That I saw you near my house
In the rain
In the nighttime
Under an umbrella
Under a tree
Looking around
Looking lost
It could be a lucky shot
That you were at the restaurant that night
We all know the pizza coupons
Are only good on Thursdays
So of course everyone is there
Everyone who is anyone is there
But maybe
These are clues to something more
Something exciting
Something true
But who am I to say?
I’m no detective.
