Joshua Fallow and Claudia Ravenscroft’s families are both going on holiday together this July. They’re going to Claudia’s granny’s summer house in Tuscany. Joshua says he isn’t in love with Claudia because let’s face it they’re both going off to uni next year so they can’t get into anything heavy. It’s just fun for now, Joshua says.
The thing is about Claudia, Joshua says, is that she’s just cool. She just sort of gets where he’s coming from. Their familes are sort of the same, Joshua says. Joshua doesn’t say this sort of thing about Claudia directly to me. He says it to whoever is sitting beside him in English when I’m trying to concentrate on Shakespeare and not think about quitting school. School really sucks right now.
