Cho had written about the school in letters she sent you, but no description came close to actually being there. The two of you were childhood friends, your parents were lifelong friends, and you always vacationed together, so you were excited to be able to be with her at school too, even though she was going through her post-breakup period, and you got the feeling she wouldn't exactly be the most lively company for the next few weeks. Poor Cho, you thought, left without explanation after six months of dating, the guy must be a jerk.
