Chapter 02 - Classmates - part 01

Saturday, August 21, 1971.

Helena finishes packing and looks in the mirror to see if the makeup is good. Alicia is in her room.

"My friend, you are simply beautiful," smiled Alicia. "You are beautiful and you will surely win many hearts tonight at the pub.

"Alicia, I'm not you, blond, tall, blue-eyed, you look like a model, you succeed with the boys, I do not," Helena said, finishing lipstick on her lips.

"Do not be dramatic, Lena," Alicia smiled. "You're beautiful, my friend. You have your beauty and you attract more girls than I do. See your body, full of curves, you're beautiful and full stop.

Helena looked again at the mirror and watched her light green eyes , her straight black hair like the night and her light brown skin. Helena is the copy of your mother, Gilda.

Helena Leme Guedes was born on October 28, 1953, in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. His mother's name is Gilda Guedes. She is a biomedical and her father Carlos Guedes is a businessman.When they lived in Brazil, Carlos worked for a British food company, with branch in Curitiba. He was one of the managers and Gilda was already working in Biomedicine laboratories.Helena since childhood has always liked to take pictures and already attracted the attention for its beauty. Her parents gave her love and affection, but they also charged her a lot of study and at age eight she started learning to speak English.

At the beginning of 1968, they moved to London, because his father, Charles, had been chosen to be one of the managers of the food company in London at headquarters. They sold everything they had real estate in Curitiba and went to live in London, in the Kensington neighborhood, in a comfortable, large house with swimming pool. Two months later, Helena began studying at High School and her parents paid her a teen photography course. Helena began taking the photography course because she said that she was always in doubt about being a photographer or a biomedical. Helena had a fascination with biology and admired the work of her mother , who was already working in a large biomedical laboratory in London. At High School, Helena made great friendships with Alicia, Kevin and Lucy. Time passed and as she studied in High School she was enchanted by the subject of Biology and continued doing its course of photography. She finished her photography course, shortly before finishing high school. Helena finished high school with the best marks of the school, mainly in the subjects of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Because of the final, very high marks she got, Helena got a scholarship to study biology at the Imperial College, which belongs to the University of London.Helena was very proud of herself and her parents were proud of her too. The girl thinks of being a future biomedical, like the mother. Meanwhile, during his three years in London, his father Carlos, in addition to doing well in the food business, still became a partner with one of his co-workers in a pub in Kensington, Rock and Roll bands are starting their musical career.

"Lena, it's already nine-thirty at night, so let 's go downstairs. My cousin Ryan is already waiting for us in the living room. "Alice smiled.

Helena took her bag and they went down to the living room of the house. Ryan chatted excitedly with Mr. Carlos and Mrs. Gilda. He commented on his PH D in Astrophysics and how much he is studying hard.

"That's right, young man, you study hard enough to have a great future," said Mr. Charles smiling. "Today in the pub, the band 's legendary drummer Roger Taylor and Queen , from his friend Brian, who is also student of Astrophysics?

"Excuse me, Mr. Carlos, and we're going to celebrate the birthday of John, the band's bass player on the spot," Ryan smiled.

- Ok, very well. I've already told my partner Luke that the entrance to my daughter, Lena is released. After all, she turns eighteen only in October. No alcohol, my daughter, "said Mr. Carlos.

"Dad, I will not drink anything alcoholic." The girl smiled. "I also want to celebrate with my new friends my admission to Imperial College. Brian will be very proud of me.

"Everyone will be proud, my daughter," Gilda smiled. " Have fun."

Helena said goodbye to her parents with a kiss on her face. Ryan left his car in the garage of the girl's parents' house and they walked to the pub, which was on a street above the place where Helena lived with her parents.

As soon as they arrived, they presented their documents and, as Mr. Carlos had already said, Helena's entrance was cleared.

After Helena met the band, when they performed at the University of Surrey, she became friends with Freddie, Brian and John, less Roger, for obvious reasons we already know. The girl commented to the boys that her father is a pub member and that she could talk to the father of the band performing at the pub one day. The boys talked to Mr. Carlos and he talked to his partner, Luke, and the day finally arrived for the band to perform at the pub and celebrate John's 20th birthday, which celebrated on August 19th. Queen also signed a contract with Trident Studios and are recording the band's first album at dawn for lack of time throughout the day.

As soon as Ryan, Alicia and Helena entered the pub, they have seen at a table, Mary, Veronica, Chrissy and Josephine, girlfriends of Freddie, John, Brian and Roger respectively and Clare, Roger's younger sister and Tim Staffell, boys, former Smile frontman. They went to meet the class and sat down at a table. There were separate places for Freddie, Brian, Roger and John, who were on the small stage, passing the sound. The place began to fill with people and soon after, at half past ten at night, Queen began to perform. Helena watched the talent of the boys and knew that the band would go far, that it would get somewhere. She watched Roger for a moment and saw how much the drummer is very talented and sings very well, however, is a complete idiot. Since they met in a disastrous way, at the band's presentation at the University of Surrey, Roger always teased her the other three times they met.

For an hour and a half, Queen introduced herself and at the end they received applause from the people who were there.

"Thank you very much, my dear," Freddie smiled. "May all of you enjoy the rest of the night."

The boys began to dismantle the musical instruments and walked to John's car and Roger's car. Josephine, Roger's girlfriend, looking at Helena with disdain, said,

"I still did not know you personally. Roger had commented on you, you're the daughter of one of the pub members, right?

"Yes, I am the daughter of one of the members of this pub," Helena said taking her juice, looking at Josephine with disdain. "I was the one who indicated the band to my father and his partner, and in the end, the band is here, presentation at that location. And I hope it is the first of many presentations, that they achieve success.

Josephine smiled again with disdain. Clare, Roger's sister noticed the strange weather that had set in.

"Do not care about Josephine. She had always been unbearable in this way, neither did my mother and I like her. She just wants Roger for herself. She is jealous of Mom and me. This is absurd. She is extremely controlling, and if it were up to her, Roger would not be in the band and would have no friendship with the boys, "Clare told Helena.

"I realize the disdainful way she looked at me, but I do not care, Clare," Helena smiled amiably. "And I mean you're very different from your brother, while you're nice and nice, Roger is extremely arrogant and overbearing . Sorry to say that about your big brother.

Clare smiled openly at her and Alicia smiled together.

"Lena, my brother is annoying sometimes, but he has a good heart, he's an excellent boy. Roger the day you met, he was not cool, he'd argued with Josephine out of jealousy on her part, this girl is a demon. My brother is not usually unpleasant to people. You need to get to know Roger differently. "She smiled.

"I'll dispense, Clare, the first impression is the one," Helena said.

While the boys kept the instruments in the car, Roger said,

"My friends, I need to communicate something to you.

"I know you're going to give up the drunken, womanizing life and become a serious man, Rog," Freddie smiled openly. "Maybe a hermit."

Roger rolled his eyes in disdain.

"Freddie, do not be a clown, it's easier for Roger to become a millionaire, than to starve his life." Laughed Brian this time.

John began to have a fit of laughter and began to choke.

"Deacy, calm down," Brian said, slapping his friend's back.

Roger just folded his arms and leaned back in his car, watching the three friends calm down.

"Have you calmed down, dear Deacy?" Freddie asked.

"Yes, I've calmed down," John said.

"Can the three of you hear me?" I have something serious and very good to communicate - Roger said.

"All right, let us know, Rog," Brian said.

"Bri, from the second week of September, I'll be another student at Imperial College," Roger smiled. "I got the Imperial College scholarship to study biology.

"That's not possible," Brian smiled happily, hugging his friend tightly. "Congratulations Rog, I knew you could do it, you're very smart, man.

"Congratulations, Rog, success on your new college course." John smiled, hugging him as well.

- Congratulations dear Rog - Smiled Freddie hugging him too - Good luck and please do not give up on the course, as you did with Dentistry.

"Do not worry boys, this time I'll take Biology to the end. I want to have a degree, although, I do not want to work as a biologist, I want to live on music, you know, but to maintain a middle-class social level I will have to do a college myself and I chose Biology because I identify myself. The drummer smiled openly.

The boys finished putting the musical instruments in Roger and John's cars. Roger and John then lit a cigarette and smoked out of the room, talking to Brian and Freddie.

"Lena is an incredible girl," Brian smiled. "Thanks to her for getting us nominated, we're performing here at the pub.

"For me, this girl is a demon," Roger said wryly.

"We'd better get into the pub," Freddie said.

Roger and John finished smoking, and the four of them walked into the property and headed toward everyone. They greeted Ryan, Alicia, and Helena. By the time Roger saw Helen he smirked in a malicious way and said,

- Leninha, how are you? How much time! Nice to see you again.

- Hey Roger, how's it going? What a displeasure to see you again and please stop calling me Leninha, for you are and always will be Helena, "the young woman said irritably.

"Calm Leninha, you do not need to be nervous." Roger smiled in a seductive way and Josephine laughed because she had realized that her boyfriend was getting more and more irritating, Helena.

"Please, no arguing tonight," Brian smiled. "We're here too, to celebrate John's birthday. Happy birthday, Deacy.

At that moment they brought a birthday cake number twenty and they all sang congratulations to the timid Queen bass player. At the end John blew the candle with the number twenty and thanked everyone and the first piece he gave to his girlfriend Veronica. The rest of the time, they spent drinking and eating portions. Helena and Brian were the only ones who did not drink alcohol. The others drank a lot of alcohol, but they were not drunk yet.

"My dear friends, listen to everyone, I have a statement to make," Helena said smiling. "And I think Bri, especially Bri, will love the news.

"Seriously, Lena?" And why me? Now I'm curious. "He smiled beautifully at the guitarist looking at Helena.

"I want to inform everyone that yesterday I got my results from college scholarships, and as I told Bri, I had chosen the Biology course," Helena smiled.

At that moment Roger stops drinking his beer and looks at the young woman, with attention, interest.

"And I did it, Bri. I got a scholarship to study biology at Imperial College. Surely we'll meet in the hallways of the great college, Bri, and I'll see Ryan, "Helena smiled.

At that moment Freddie and Roger who drank their beers spat the whole liquid catching everyone's attention. Brian already knew what was happening, but to disguise it, she hugged Helena cheerfully.

- Congratulations my dear. You have proven to be very intelligent. It's not easy, entering Imperial College, I'm very proud of you, Lena, you can count on me for any help and we'll certainly meet in the hallways of the college. "Brian smiled beautifully at her.

Brian was very happy for Helena, but at the same time worried, after all, Roger and she can be classmates, after all, they will study the same course.

Roger looked at John, Freddie and Brian and made mention that they did not say anything about that blonde will also study Biology at Imperial College.

"Dear ones, I also have a statement to make," Freddie said playfully looking at everyone. "Actually, Rog has a statement too, does not he, Rog?"

"Come on Rog, tell everyone about your communication," Brian said, smiling, according to the joke.

"The communication I have to make is that I'll be a great Rock Star and I will have international prominence, I will not live in an academic world like this girl," Roger said scornfully, teasing Helena and realizing that he will study in the same place as her.

"You really are an overbearing, ridiculous lad," Helena said. "I thought I'd give everyone a statement saying he's going back to school, he's going to do a new college." I heard you did not finish your dental school, but you, as a fool, would not be able, for example, to study at Imperial College. This is only for very smart students like Ryan, Bri and me.

Roger grinned at her and sat down instead. Brian began to get a coughing fit. The guitarist was crazy to tell everyone that Roger will also study at Imperial College, but the blond drummer looked seriously at the guitarist and motioned to be quiet. Brian's throat itched, meaning the novelty, but he did not.

Everyone greeted Helena, except Roger. And only Freddie, John, and Brian knew that Roger would study at Imperial College for now. Brian ran a hand over his face, nervous, he wanted to say it all, but, Roger looked at him seriously.

Roger called Freddie, Brian and John and he just walked away from the others. The blonde then looked at his friends.

"I'm forbidding all three of you to say the ridiculous Helen I will also study at Imperial College and it will be the same course as her, Biology," said Roger.

"But why, dear Rog?" I think it would be better for Helena to know all about it , so she would realize how smart you are too, right? - Freddie said.

"I think so too," John commented.

"What do you mean by all this, Rog?" My brother, if you do any harm to Helen, I'll kill you. "Brian said," I really liked the girl and she does not deserve to be treated. I love Helena.

"Bri, it even seems like you're in love with her, do not worry. i rmão, I will not do harm to this sick girl, but I want to do for her, a surprise, after all, we may be classmates and even if we study in different rooms, we will always see us. I want to show Helena that I'm also intelligent like her and like you and that I got a scholarship, I want to surprise her, but it will not be now, it's only the first day of college. Roger smiled.

Brian looked suspiciously at his friend.

"I'll trust you, but if you hurt Lena, I'll rip your face off, Roger, I'm warning you," Brian said, hugging his friend.

"Do not worry, Bri, I will not hurt her, but I'll teach her a lesson in her," said the blonde. "And stop acting like you're in love with the girl."

Brian remained silent. All that was left was for the guitarist to be in love with Helena.
