8 - Can't remember why I call you back

'I know SOMETHING interesting is sure to happen.'

from Alice in Wonderland

Lewis Caroll

Cambridge, February 15th , 1937

'Just do it.'

I wondered when I had become so fatalistic.

What had brought me to that moment.

The day started strangely, actually.

The mid- year exam timetable has fallen on me like the ten plagues of Egypt all together.

I saw him go into the cloister at a steady pace.

'Harry.'

Nothing.

'Harry.'

Nothing.

'Styles.'

Nothing.

'Harry

Styles. '

I screamed.

He has to turn around because they all did.

And I chased him.

As usual.

'Why won't you answer me?'

'Tell me, Louis.'

'Where are you going?'

'Why?'

'it's

only a question.'

'To the barber.'
