My parents were pushing me to attend some kind of summer camp. A ride had been arranged to pick me up earlier today but I missed it as I hadn’t even packed my things. Another ride was already on its way for this evening.

I walked through the library to use the restroom. When I came out, I received a call of someone very urgently asking where I was. The questions continued in rapid succession. “Did you see the e-mail? Are you taking a leave of absence?”

“Wait, what’s happening?” I asked. I told them that I was in the toilet. I started walking through the heavy rain to the front gate. The voice on the other side became too garbled for me to make out what the response was.
