The exams were coming close. Only six weeks yet to go. No more homework, it was all self-study from now on.

Both Maya and Russ planned to start studying a month beforehand which left them with two weeks of absolute freedom after school and in weekends. So naturally I decided to do the same.

During lunchbreak they sat down with their agenda's in front of us.

,,Yeah well, I will be lodging with Jenn then, ha! Agreed Jenn? This Saturday I'll be sleeping over at your place.”

The world had gone mad, at that very moment. Russ was openly fighting someone over a no one. No kidding, you should've heard the others.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,Why is Russ making such a fuss over that nobody? I mean, who the hell is that girl?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,Isn't she in graduationyear?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,For real? Then how come I never saw her in all these years?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,Sure you've seen her! She's that girl that is always sitting in front of the school before first class starts.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,Oh that weirdo!” There was laughing and pointing, but Russ and Maya didn't seem to notice. They just kept on arguing. So I picked up my plate, threw the left-over in the bin and went to the bathroom. When I came back they were still at it.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,You guys are acting a little funny.” I finally said. They stopped their fight at once and looked my way.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,What?” Russ asked.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,Uhm… you know, break is almost over. You guys haven't even touched your food yet.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,Yeah well..” Maya muttered.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
With my head resting on my righthand, I stared at the ceiling waiting for them to finish their lunch they just now started on. They finished five minutes after the bell had rung. Maya and me went onto History-class while Russ headed for Mathematics.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Maya wrote me several notes which I wouldn't reply to with a simple scribbling underneath the message, but when it was a yes or no question I'd just nod my head.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Russ is so annoying.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“…”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“I mean, he thinks he's the world, that stuck-up fool.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“…”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Why don't we hang out together from now on, just us?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I nodded.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Really?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I looked to my right, her eyes staring anticipating at me.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Friday, Sunday, Monday… right?” I whispered.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“No I mean… always.” She started whispering too, spoken words replacing the written ones.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I turned my gaze back to the blackboard where the teacher was writing out an entire overview about WO II and which country fought which country and who were allies, etcetera.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Jenny?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“I don't know… why you want to so much, but… I still want to hang out with Russ too… I think.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“What for! He's an @$$!” Maya said, shouting this time.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Maya! You'd better pay attention instead of screaming, you do want to graduate do you not?” The teacher sneered. But Maya ignored him totally, looking at me seemingly angry and hurt at the same time.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“He'll forget about us when we've graduated, so why not hang out until then?” I continued speaking in a whispering voice.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Damn right he'll forget us! As soon as he sees college-girls legs that are capable of spreading we're out of his mind forever, so why the hell hang out with him at all!”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Good point. But… I liked observing the behaviour of both these people, always did, so why not stay close as long as they still want me around. Then I started thinking, would these people act the same around me as they would when they're alone, or with friends or family?
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“It's Tuesday right?” I asked lost in thoughts.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Why are you changing the subject! We're talking about something here!” Maya shouted on,
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“I thought you liked me! Why are you so mean!”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“I do like you Maya. I meant what I said back then.” The bell rung, “but I need to be somewhere right now okay? I'll see you tomorrow.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Jenny! Where are you going?” She rushed after me. “I'm coming with.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Maya grabbed hold of my arm. “Where are we going?” she asked again.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“To The Stargazer.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“That astronomy store? Why?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“I want to buy a binocular.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“A binocular? I think The Stargazer only has telescopes. I think it's better to check out that new nature-store. That one must have binoculars for bird watching and stuff. Do you want to go bird watching?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Yeah, something like that.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Cool. We'll both buy one! Is bird watching a hobby of yours for a long time already?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“No, but I think it will be an interesting one.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Maya smiled: “Yeah, we should buy a bird book along with it. It'll be our secret hobby.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Secret. Yes. But not ours, only mine.

Both Maya and Russ planned to start studying a month beforehand which left them with two weeks of absolute freedom after school and in weekends. So naturally I decided to do the same.
</p></div>

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
During lunchbreak they sat down with their agenda's in front of us.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,Jenn, you're mine on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays!”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,Uhm..”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,And then between those boring days <i>we</i> will have <i>real</i> fun every Friday and Sunday, oh and Monday! You can sleep over every Sunday and then we'll walk to school together.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,Uhm..”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,Yeah well, I will be lodging with Jenn then, ha! Agreed Jenn? This Saturday I'll be sleeping over at your place.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,Uhm.. well... I `m not sure…”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,No freaking way! Over my dead body that a horny guy like you will be spending the night at Jenny's, she's way too innocent for you dirty hands! If you're sleeping over, then I am too!”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,I don't…”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,What?! The Saturdays were mine! You'll sleep over in your own damn time!”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The world had gone mad, at that very moment. Russ was openly fighting someone over a no one. No kidding, you should've heard the others.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,Why is Russ making such a fuss over that nobody? I mean, who the hell is that girl?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,Isn't she in graduationyear?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,For real? Then how come I never saw her in all these years?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,Sure you've seen her! She's that girl that is always sitting in front of the school before first class starts.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,Oh that weirdo!” There was laughing and pointing, but Russ and Maya didn't seem to notice. They just kept on arguing. So I picked up my plate, threw the left-over in the bin and went to the bathroom. When I came back they were still at it.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,You guys are acting a little funny.” I finally said. They stopped their fight at once and looked my way.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,What?” Russ asked.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,Uhm… you know, break is almost over. You guys haven't even touched your food yet.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
,,Yeah well..” Maya muttered.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
With my head resting on my righthand, I stared at the ceiling waiting for them to finish their lunch they just now started on. They finished five minutes after the bell had rung. Maya and me went onto History-class while Russ headed for Mathematics.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Maya wrote me several notes which I wouldn't reply to with a simple scribbling underneath the message, but when it was a yes or no question I'd just nod my head.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Russ is so annoying.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“…”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“I mean, he thinks he's the world, that stuck-up fool.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“…”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Why don't we hang out together from now on, just us?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I nodded.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Really?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I looked to my right, her eyes staring anticipating at me.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Friday, Sunday, Monday… right?” I whispered.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“No I mean… always.” She started whispering too, spoken words replacing the written ones.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I turned my gaze back to the blackboard where the teacher was writing out an entire overview about WO II and which country fought which country and who were allies, etcetera.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Jenny?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“I don't know… why you want to so much, but… I still want to hang out with Russ too… I think.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“What for! He's an @$$!” Maya said, shouting this time.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Maya! You'd better pay attention instead of screaming, you do want to graduate do you not?” The teacher sneered. But Maya ignored him totally, looking at me seemingly angry and hurt at the same time.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“He'll forget about us when we've graduated, so why not hang out until then?” I continued speaking in a whispering voice.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Damn right he'll forget us! As soon as he sees college-girls legs that are capable of spreading we're out of his mind forever, so why the hell hang out with him at all!”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Good point. But… I liked observing the behaviour of both these people, always did, so why not stay close as long as they still want me around. Then I started thinking, would these people act the same around me as they would when they're alone, or with friends or family?
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“It's Tuesday right?” I asked lost in thoughts.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Why are you changing the subject! We're talking about something here!” Maya shouted on,
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“I thought you liked me! Why are you so mean!”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“I do like you Maya. I meant what I said back then.” The bell rung, “but I need to be somewhere right now okay? I'll see you tomorrow.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Jenny! Where are you going?” She rushed after me. “I'm coming with.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Maya grabbed hold of my arm. “Where are we going?” she asked again.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“To The Stargazer.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“That astronomy store? Why?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“I want to buy a binocular.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“A binocular? I think The Stargazer only has telescopes. I think it's better to check out that new nature-store. That one must have binoculars for bird watching and stuff. Do you want to go bird watching?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Yeah, something like that.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Cool. We'll both buy one! Is bird watching a hobby of yours for a long time already?”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“No, but I think it will be an interesting one.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Maya smiled: “Yeah, we should buy a bird book along with it. It'll be our secret hobby.”
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Secret. Yes. But not ours, only mine.
</p></div>
<p><div name="Standaard" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">
