"...and as I said, we need to help the progress and make the states of the world see the importance of fixing the schooling system, the education of our children. Thank you," Rob finished the speech.

I only know his name because he was called to speak and because Mark Rutte introduced me to all leaders of the groups / organizations except Rob. If you couldn't tell, I was new in the government. I've had my fair share of knowledge and contribution in the non-government unions.

We had a meeting about plans for the future and at the end, Mark would officially welcome me. I couldn't help myself but feel drawn to Rob. The way he was so involved, excited about sharing his ideas, the gestures he made with hands when talking, the true want to help - not the fake one that's just for publicity.

He was genuine.

Being genuine, I think, would be the first step to a better world. Better help for the environment and the better environment itself. Better school and work systems. Better people. Like, if your life is built on lies, that's not your life. It's the stranger's that lives within you.

"Hi," I heard. I was so deep in my thoughts I didn't saw Rob already left the stage and Thierry Baudet was talking. I turned my head to the left, eyes widening in shock. He was sitting close to me in the next row of seats. Of course, he'd see upfront, he's one of the most important people. Why am I sitting here?

"Hello! I mean, hello," I lowered the tone of my voice when I realized I practically yelled the greeting and few people turned to look at me. Great, my first day and I'm already embarrassed myself.

Rob chuckled. "Well, that wasn't embarrassing at all," he said sarcastically.

"Yeah.." I shyly put my hand on my neck, gently rubbing it.

"I'm Rob."

"I know," a little too fast and creepy looking, Jesse. "I - I mean, I heard your name when you were asked to speak. And Mark told me some of the names," good save.

"Yeah, sorry I wasn't there when you had the meeting with the political parties leaders. I had some urgent business to attend."

"No problem, I'm glad to meet you on my own and not being pushed at the conversation. I'm Jesse."

"Nice to meet you. I like your personality, so I'm going to tell you a little secret. The reason I was late was that..." he looked around and then mention for me to come closer, which I did. "I overslept," he said and I couldn't help but giggle.

Giggle.

What?

I blushed - again, what -and settled back at my given seat. I smiled at him, and he returned it, going into professional mode and taking notes.

I have a feeling this will be a beginning of a long term friendship.

Questions:
