DAY 368, SUNDAY, OCTOBER

L: I just hate everything.

H: Everything?

L: Yes.

H: Literally everything?

L: Well, no. But I hate a lot.

H: There you go. It isn't as bad as you think it is.

L: It's like you don't even remember school.

H: Oh, come on.

L: You got the papers you needed and said 'I'm out'.

H: It was a little like that. There's no way I'm going back to that school.

L: Same. When I finally get out...

H: You're gone for good?

L: Most certainly.

H: When you're out in the world doing great things, remember me. I'm the one who will have gotten you through your physics class.

L: Of course! How could I ever forget you. But first things first, you need to help me get through my physics class. And particularly this first test on electricity and magnetism.

H: Sure. Now, to be honest, those weren't my favorite chapters.

L: Oh, no.

H: Don't lose hope yet. I'm sure we can figure it out together. Two minds are stronger than one.

L: Mine isn't strong at all in this regard. I hope you brought your second brain.

H: I left it at home, actually.

L: Shit.

H: Yeah, shit.

L: Did you hear from K? They're planning a new hangout thing with R.

H: Together?

L: That's what I heard.

H: Good for them. I didn't know they made up.

L: I guess they did. Or this is their way of trying to do so. Either way, there's gonna be another hangout.

H: Nice. Are you going?

L: If I have the time, yeah. Why not.

H: I think I'll go too.

L: Really? Awesome.

H: Do you know where it'll be?

L: No. Maybe if the two are on good terms it'll be at R's place. It's been a while since we've done that. I don't think I've ever been there.

H: Me neither.

L: I know from T that they used to do that a lot before their mother passed away.

H: That death changed a lot for R, didn't it.

L: It did. And I don't blame them.

H: No, not at all.

L: It's nice to see them getting closer to us again.

H: For sure.

L: It would be a big step for them to have us at their house.

H: It's quite something. Who will take care of the snacks?

L: Are you asking me to who you need to hand in your list?

H: Perhaps.

L: I don't know who. I saw that next Wednesday a lot of us have overlapping work times. Maybe then we can decide it.
