Five minutes before the time runs out. I'm preparing my bag and putting on my coat. I'm all set to start the race! I wait patiently for the cue. Drin! the bell. Nadia's out of my class, and with one look we're both starting to run home ignoring everyone's strange looks, it's not the first time.

I breathed hard and accelerated more as we passed the sidewalk.

Nadia: You're too fast after all!

She yells at me, I slowed down a little bit to get to me, we were in the building in a very short time. Nadia unlocks as she had already prepared the key and walked in one after the other.We ran up the stairs, she opened the door of the house and without saying hello to her parents went to Orpheus' room.

Nadia: Quick, come on.

She closes the door by securing us

Nadia: I'll search the office and you look in the drawers.

I opened them and she picked up every little thing that hided the smooth surface of the desk.

Erica: I can't find anything.

Nadia: Look elsewhere, look everywhere!

You can clearly hear the panting in her voice. My panting and anguish is increasing, I'm looking in the room of a virtual stranger to me. He could find me here any minute.I close the drawer with a sharp sound trying to put back in place what I moved. Let me see, where I'd hide my things...

Under the bed! I'm bending over to see, but no. We lifted the carpet again nothing. We searched every inch of the room.

Erica: Nadia, there's nothing here, let's get out of here fast before he catches us get in trouble.

She freezed a little and immediately began to lift the pillow, the covers and the mattress of the bed.

Erica: Nadia, you're misalsing, you're acting like a maniac, come on, let's go!

With a crooked smile, she pulled the book under the mattress.

Nadia: What's the mad one again?

We were pleased to achieve our goal. Of course, we didn't make it as we heard the door unlock.

Nadia: Quick, help me put the mattress back.

We catched it and pushed it hard in. We ran out, heard Orpheus' footsteps and voice, he's here in the living room. We had time to leave, went to Nadia's room. I'm sitting here not caring if Nadia was okay with it, I had to calm down.Deep breaths, oxygen slowly fills my lungs.

The blood stops pumping quickly from my heart ,veins and arteries becoming the quiet paths. Nadia's browsing the book. She had fallen to the floor and leaned over it while changing the pages little by little.
