A bunch of classes would let out at around 11:10. Then the line would suddenly be unbearably long. From students leaving class and also those coming in and rushing to the 11:30 classes. Twenty minutes where he would never ever go to thatΒ

real day about to begin
as reply to Understand Everything
He thought but didn't say aloud in front of Jack, how funny it would be if Jack and his twin switched places. They were biologically identical twins after all. He'd seen Indian and Chinese students taking tests for each other all the time. Surely identical twins could get away with...

He had never seen one of those supposedly premed girls walking around here in the center of campus between his lab and philosophy classes. He was looking for them. But Jack coming along and sitting down with him was good too.

They took him to a big metal pull barn that was the size of a hangar. Inside the air was cool and dry like they were air conditioning and de-humidifying all day, everyday.

The second pour over was so good that he decided to order a third. That was his decision. He would do what he wanted. The only thing that stopped him was an outside force. A man in a suit gently tapping his shoulder. The man in the suit was not...
