SECOND CHANCES
https://forumupload.ru/uploads/001c/2a/e6/5/522102.png

fandom: The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark
characters: Hamlet, Ophelia

We kissed beneath the twisted trees,
Our lips between the stars,
Tiny ripples in a lake
This love, once lost,
Is ours.

As soon as she entered the university library, Ophelia felt very small. She had seen the photographs and knew that Bobst Library was quite an impressive building with a fantastic interior, but in reality it was much larger and greater than she expected. How many books were stored here? She wouldn't even dare to guess. No less than a million for sure. Twelve floors of gilding and glass. The beauty of this place was breathtaking.

"Do you know that these gilded barriers were installed to prevent students from jumping down? There were three cases of suicide in Bobst about twenty years ago. One of them landed just where you stand now" Marian said looking at the floor as if one could still see blood there.

Ophelia felt a chill run down her spine. She would prefer not to know that there was death behind the beauty she admired just a moment ago. She looked at Marian who was very pleased that she managed to impress the naive first-year. However Ophelia was indeed naive so she couldn't see that Marian said what she said on purpose. She actually admired her new friend and roommate who was kind enough to show her around and let her meet her friends.

They went up to the art department. There was no one from the stuff there and it was quite difficult to navigate on your own. Especially if you were in this gigantic library for the first time. Ophelia took a couple of books from a random shelf and sat next to Marian. They both studied Art History and Classics, but Marian was a year ahead.

"There is an initiation party next Sunday, you should be there."

"I'm not sure it is my thing" Ophelia answered. She didn't want to upset her friend, but she always felt out of place at the parties, so she tried to avoid them.

"Oh, come on, don't be such a prune! You need to go out and get to know people. Don't tell me you came to New York only to read Art books and write essays. Live a life, Ophelia!"

Marian, for sure, knew how to live her life and took everything this big city could offer. She knew everything and everyone, she was invited to all the parties and she had friends everywhere. Basically she was the exact opposite of Ophelia. They would probably never become friends if they didn't share the room in the dorm.

Ophelia accidentally caught an eye of a young man at the other end of the reading room. She quickly turned away. When she looked at him in a couple of minutes their eyes met again. This time she turned away even quicker. It was a bit embarrassing to know that someone is watching you. And that this someone knows that you know they are watching you.

Hamlet was awakened by the sun's rays of the young autumn and the sleepy conversations of friends around the room. The carelessness that was happening everywhere was the ideal ground for his breasts to suddenly get a premonition: 'something will happen'. He smiled and started stretching, opening his arms to this invisible and powerful 'thing', though it was a little awkward at heart - some subtle trembling of the wings of the moth. But go away these thoughts! It’s because Horatio isn’t around, and he’s the only one who can share this moment in all its glory. Not that Hamlet was secretive with the others, but always a little distant. Almost like a prince. He was called The Prince because of his special, odd way of holding on, particularly to girls.

Hamlet thought of this, as he climbed the steps leading to the library, to distract himself and find the book that Horatio had so eagerly advised him to read. He need to meet a friend being fully prepared, to remind that their friendship is still strong.
Prince went to the bookshelves, but in the process, completely forgot what he was looking for. He stopped swiping headlines in alphabetical order and stepped back, trying to concentrate. It didn't help. Then he began to look for clues in the hall and saw the omnipresent Marian, who, like a spider, was already weaving her new victim into the web of intrigue and gossip. It would be less interesting if the beautiful creature didn't contrast with Marian so strongly. It’s like the girl fell off a... oh, Grazio would help me find the right epithet.
Maybe he wasn’t fully awake? And why does this beauty seem vaguely familiar to him? Like the strongest sense of déjà vu. What a strange, disturbing chill on the skin. What the hell is... It is necessary to sleep more and less philosophize with friends over a bottle of red wine, generously poured over tea cups.

But they saw eye-to-eye! And again. Hamlet didn't look away, unlike the girl.
Trepidation intensified and completely eclipsed his head for a while, at the same time, there was an irresistible desire to rush to meet this, as if life depended on it. He didn’t like it. He remembered how struggled with obsessive visions as a child, and at the same time convinced himself that it didn’t happen. In his life everything was fine. But even too fine. Excessive. He knew in his heart that one day he would pay for it. And what a good time this is a beautiful day.
And it’s a good thing Horatio isn’t here. He’d like to dig deeper, take books on esotericism and mysticism, revive them with psychology. God, what a clever and cautious man! With him Hamlet sometimes felt like in the lair of an ancient oracle. Or is it bad that his friend is not there?
It is necessary to stop this. The more interesting, that next to the girl sits a friend. To look at the reaction of both interlocutors. What will stranger do? What will he feel?

"Hi, Marian! Hello... what’s your friend’s name?"
Up close, it was a work of art, not a young lady, looked even more magical.
"She looks like a unicorn. You’re new here, right?" He said to the girl, "Hasn’t Marian strangled you yet? By the way, my name is Hamlet," he extended his hand gently towards she, appreciating with the edge of his eye what she was reading, "Oh! It’s Costantino D'Orazio, History of Art in Six Emotions? What do you think of this book?"
