After a couple of moment of awkward silence, Eloise says, “I’ve seen you? Around college, yeah? You’re normally on your own.”
“Well, I don’t really know many…”
”That’s cool!” says Eloise. “Most of the best people don’t have so many friends. Seriously, I’m not taking the piss.”
”The goths look so… intimidating. The casuals are even worse.”
”It’s all front with the goths. Make-up and costumes. Most of us are fluffy as hell underneath.” Eloise reaches inside her weeds and brings out a cassette, scrawled with spiders and castles. “You can have this, if you want? I was going to give it to Adrian, but he’s being a huge prat tonight.”
”Thank you,” you say, “I’ll listen to it.”
”When you see me at college, come and talk. Doesn’t matter who I’m with, yeah? Oh God! Adrian’s coming back. There’ll be more poetry. Go on! Escape! Save yourself!” she laughs.
