I storm up to Alice.

"What the hell??"

She stares at me.

"Tahw deneppah ot uoy?"

I want to scream.

What if I wrote it down?

"Nep! Nep! ....teg em a nep!!!"

"Aha.."

I sigh as she reaches for a blue pen on a desk in the corner.

" I hope this works..."

"I evah on aedi tahw uoy tsuj dias"

"Exactly."

I start writing furiously on a spare piece of paper.

I explain everything, not leaving out

detail, then hand it to her.

"I ees! Ma I gnikaeps sdrawkcab?"

I just nod, though I have no morsel of idea what she just said.

"s'taht os emosewa."

I want to punch something. Hard. Where it hurts.

"Uoy t'nac dnatsrednu em?"

"Ugh...what?"

He grabs the piece of paper, and in her messy excuse for hand writing she writes:

So you can't understand me??

I shake my head, grab the paper off her and write:

We may need a notepad.

Life as I know it has lost words, making me feel empty and separate to everyone else.

Good thing I'll forget it tommorow.
