Next day, at school

"Hi, Joash, the best friend in the world, how are you?"

"I'm OK, Leon, just tired. Wait...how did you say?"

"Have you learned for the test?"

"Test? What? No! I forgot it completely..."

"I called you yesterday. You didn't answer so I thought that you are learning...''

*laughs*

"Yeah, how could I say this? I thought that you are at the rehearsal for a concert or maybe you are sleeping. But where you was?"

"I brought Elisabeth home. She left last night."

"Wow! Don't forget: the next time when you wash the car, don't clean the passenger seat after she stayed there! Yeah, I'm funny...but actually this is not funny, it's lamentable. Wait, why are you sad after such an event?"

"I don't know...Everytime I see her I'm so happy but also sad because I'm so far away from her, you know?"

"I understand your sadness perfectly. Once I was left without any internet connection for the whole day! I was depressed...Yeah, maybe I can't understand exactly, but..."

"She didn't want me to see her house...sometimes I have a strange feeling that I will never hold her in my arms..."

"It can be just a bad feeling. She is even weird..have you seen how she stumbles when she walks?"

"I know...isn't she adorable?"

''Wow! It's even worse than I thaught...Come on, falling in love is just a temporar stupidity. Look how many beautiful girls are in our school. Have you seen Nichole and Glenna? I know, they adore me, but you are my friend. To be honest, Elisabeth is not the Miss Universe... The bell is ringing. You should go."

"You don't bother to come?"

"Well...Don't wait for me after we finish school today...maybe I'll be in detention."

"What have you done again, Leon?"

"What? Nothing! How can you say this? Nothing yet...I'm gonna run for here right now with the principal's car. I have always wished it! I have a new great method to open it. I will leave with 200 km per hour. I'll return after 12 a.m. for the basketball match, before he searches the car. Tell to the cheerleaders not to worry. Their star is coming back! See you!"

"Leon, I don't like when I have to cover you...your bad behaviour will bring us real problems someday. Hey, wait!"

...

The exam was pretty hard, but I'm pleased with what I wrote, because I didn't learn. I had to write about what Shakespeare said. Oh, only if I had to write about what Elisabeth said...I still remember all. I'm going home to eat a big ice cream...it is so hot outside!

Leon was catched trying to open the principal's car with a needle. Yes, that is his "new great method". He said that he saw this in a movie. But actually that actor died in that scene...Wait a moment! Why do I smile like an idiot right now? Of course!

"Hey, Elisa! What do you do here?"

"In the bus station? I am...waiting for the bus? How about you?"

"Great right now. When did you come here?"

"In the morning. I had an exam today."

*that silence is haunting me again*

"So, when will you come again?"

"No, Joash, maybe I haven't told you. I am moving again. I leave this school because I leave the country."

"No! Where do you go? Maybe we can see each other again someday."

"Actually I was supposed to remain at this school, but I'm going in Europe with my family."

"Europe? That's so far! It must be wonderful to travel around the world! But tell me: why do you move so often?"

"No, it is wonderful to find a home, a place where your heart belongs, and never to leave it. Look! The bus is coming..well..see you someday!"

I remained there like a statue after she left. Was this the last time when I saw her? I can't accept this. Now I realise some stupid things: why didn't I ask her for her phone number? We could talk forward...Why didn't I get on the bus?

No, I promised that I won't accuse myself for what I do in her's presence, because I don't think very well then. When I'm looking in her beautiful eyes I forget about anything else...(so I start again...wake up, Joash!) Stupid bus! Other times I wait a whole day for the bus to come! I'm so upset! This was meant to be a great day! Also I really miss her now..I haven't seen her for two minutes! I know, it's stupid, but...No! I'm stuck! I mean, the thing with Elisa and the fact I just stepped in a chewed gum. Can be this day more terrible?

...

Listen to me: never ask that question because you will get an answer: yes, your day can be more terrible. After I escaped from that sticky gum, while everyone else was looking at me, I saw an ice cream stall. I bought an ice cream, walked four meters and dropped it down. Exactly when I came near to my house, some children were playing with water balloons and...what a surprise...right to the target! I arrived home completely wet. When I was about to take a shower, surprise! There was no water...

From the next chapter

"Next week we are going to send four of our singers to the National Competition. The winner of that competition will represent us in Europe."

"Deborah is madly in love with me. It's so obvious!"
