Jackson reclined agaisnt the tree, ignoring the rough bark rubbing against his back, and sighed. He hadn't spoken to Nadine since the New Years celebrations and he'd longed to speak to her, even if just to shove her back into their tentative relationship of teasing jabs and biting insults. He'd had her sniping at him since first year - not that it wasn't his fault - and he'd grown so used to it that, now she refused to even glance toward him, let alone talk to him, he missed hearing her. The insults his red-headed quirk came up with weren't anything spectacular but they always had a twist of creativity in them which he could alugh over when they had both calmed down. Right now, he wanted nothing more than to have Joshua or Mieko with him because both always helped him, albeit in their own special ways that took hours of puzzling before they even started to make sense. Actually, he was still puzzling through Miekos last letter.
Konwa, Jackson-otouto-chan,
Meroko-'nee-chan can't come over the summer (as I'm sure you're delighted to hear) because her mother has fallen ill with a fever and her brother can't take anymore time off work. You know how hard he works! But Mero and Hatori do send their love and 'Tori-nii-chan begs you to rescue him from his 'insane sister' next summer. Aww, it's too bad because it seems like 'nii-chan loves you more than he does me sometimes and I've been his best friend since we were both five! Oh, and Yuki cannot make it either so his older cousin has volunteered to come and keep an eye on Izumi, Mi-ki and Ichigo. Izumi especially, ne? Haha, at least you don't have to worry about adjusting to two new people, becaue you've met Kei before. The icy blonde, remember?
Joshua sends his love and reminds you that his best friends daughter will be coming this summer whether you like it or not. Otouto-chan, she'll be here all summer unless she decides that she can't stand our house. Joshua really misses her because he hasn't seen her since he adopted you. Please, Jackson, don't mess this up for him. I'm the first to admit that usually I'm the one causing trouble for my cousin but you're the one most likely to resent this girl. She isn't trying to rip away your family - she doesn't even know of our plans yet - so please behave yourself this summer. If not then I'll be the one to deal with you.
Make sure your kitten keeps you on your toes! The stars show that you'll be unhappy but you'll find a moment of sunshine before summer.
Keep my words in mind, otouto-chan,
Mieko.
His cousin was as confusing as ever. What on earth did she mean, a moment of sunshine? Obviously there would be sunshine before summer! It was a season called spring and it was approaching quickly. Ah well, Jackson set the letter to one side and started on his DADA homework, mentally cursing himself for leaving it so late. The sun was already beginning to set but he couldn't bring himself to go in just yet. Not when it was so peaceful out here and all that was waiting for him inside were yet more cold glances and pointed silences from Nadine. "Oi, kaze no baka," Jackson stood abruptly as the wind picked up, tossing the letter toward the lake in its playful breeze. If he lost that letter then he would never puzzle out Mieko's meaning."Gotcha!" Jackson grinned triumphantly, grabbing the parchment with the tips of his fingertips before suddenly stumbling and crashing into somebody. "I'm so sorry,"Jackson smiled apologetically. "The wind decided it would be amusing to steal my letter."
