My place in the life Read online

thousand and thousand of bugs flew around me and it were only a shaking of my mother to make to disappear them.

  «Thing happens you? Are you badly?»

  «No, no. it will be this heat. Now I go to change me so I will be able to receive my guests.»

  «Of accord, you race to change you.»

  Mother succeeded to hide very well the anxiety and the fear but in that occasion realized to have her/it frightened quite a lot because you/he/she had never looked me with so much terror. You/he/she was evidently worried for what you/he/she was happened, even if I didn't hold him/it so serious.

  Comes in room I lay down me on the bed; I felt me some weak but it was my birthday and I felt only like having a good time me.

  It was a splendid day; the warm sun reflected its rays on the glass door and flooded me of heat the face. I closed the eyes and I warned the intense perfume of the flowers that his/her mother had carefully put on the windowsill. The felts Me in peace with myself and The would have remained on that bed for the rest of the afternoon if you/he/she had not been for the arrival of Laura that, as you/he/she entered the garden of house, you/he/she began tuning up" best wishes to you" to big voice. I got up me and I went me toward the closet. The party had to start.

  When I finally succeeded in preparing me, I gone down in garden where Laura that he/she animately chatted with my mother was.

  «Have finally arrived! Have put there some to prepare you but has been worth of it! You have prepared here very well everything in garden and I am convinced that it will be a fantastic day.»

  Laura was a girl a lot of dessert and at the same time explosive. He/she wanted to make thousand things together but to the first place for her there was always our friendship. Every initiative of his also involved me and you/he/she had already planned that from great, finished the school, we would have gone to live together. On his/her future it already had the clear ideas: he/she wanted to do an any superior school for then to enroll himself/herself/themselves in the ISEF and to become a teacher of physical education. Me unlike she, didn't know thing yet I wanted to do in the life; on one side I desired to become lawyer because it was the dream of my parents to see their only daughter in the dresses of an affirmed woman in the field of the job but from the other one I thought more to myself and I didn't sincerely succeed in understanding what I frankly wanted from the life. I liked a lot the nature, to visit new places, therefore I dreamt a job that could bring me to be free and even to turn the world.

  One day Laura and I spoke really of this and her it immediately gave me the answer to my problem:

  «But it is simple: you are a hostess!»

  «I thank you!» And I launched her I set a big plush that was found on my bed.

  Laura to shun stumbled him/it in a chair and an arm falling was scratched; now it has still a small scar but instead of hiding it suits her/it from there fair and every time that someone asks her what has done her he/she answers:

  «This is a sign of friendship and you/he/she cannot be removed!» for then to always burst to laugh.

  I don't know how I would have done without his/her friendship.

  My friends were all assembled in garden around the table of the salatinis; some are sat on the grass, others did to turn to have a place on the great one I swing blue while I didn't succeed in dissuading the eyes from the road. I Mark there was not yet and I feared that it didn't come to my party anymore; I had received a lot of gifts but they didn't succeed in distracting me as you/they would have owed. Then Laura drew near to me:

  «I have phoned Mark and you/he/she has told me to apologize himself/herself/themselves with you for.»

  «No, not to tell me him. You/he/she cannot come!»

  «But stop Feels happy her/it! You/he/she has said to apologize himself/herself/themselves for the delay. It departs from house and in less than ten minutes now it will be here. Hold yourself ready, it is your day!»

  «Oh my God, thing I have to tell him when it will arrive? Are they in order? Will he like dressed so?»

  «Because you don't ask him/it to him?»

  Mark was parking in front of my house; not as soon as the helmet removed from him its chestnut hair you/they were flooded of brightness and its eyes they enchanted instantly me. I tried a strange feeling, seemed me to have the dizziness and him. was I know beautiful!

  You was approaching; it showed more years of those that it had and for me it was as an unattainable dream.

  It had a slender and well modeled physicist; the long fingers of its right hand held back a colored packet while with the left it was carefully repaired the hair. A beautiful boy would have become.

  «Wishes it Feels happy and thanks for the invitation.»

  While it was handing the gift it cracked me two kisses on the cheeks and I believe that at that time my guests warned the heat that was emanating my face.

  Laura started to sneer; I was embarrassed but I succeeded in reacting:

  «Thanks, but you didn't have to disturb you. I thought I didn't come anymore.»

  «The fact is that I am preparing a search with some schoolmates and for this I am always very busy. I hope that you like the gift. I adore him/it!»

  I opened the packet: it was a cd of a new group that was trying fortune. I had felt speak of it but I didn't know their music.

  From that day, every time that I felt the music of that group, my heart was filled with tenderness and the eyes they were veiled of tears.

  My mother arrived with the cake of birthday, my friends he was having a good time and I had never been so happy; mother turned on the candelines and Laura she immediately invited me to express a desire. I left half open the eyes, I intensely thought, I filled the bellows of air and I blew.

  My mother started to cut the cake and to distribute the slices to my friends, when you/he/she arrived in garden a girl that I knew of sight. It was greater than me and it excessively dressed in audacious way for his/her age; he/she wore a shirt white semitransparent dam with a simple button to the center and a gonnellina" inguinale" of jeans.

  It drew near to me.

  «You are it Feels happy, true? Do you know where Mark is?»

  I felt me to sink; I didn't know what Mark had a girl and I immediately tried hate for him.

  «Hi Marta, arrival!»

  Mark drew near with Laura and made the presentations.

  «Marta and I, together to other two friends, we are preparing the search of which I have mentioned you before and we are very back still with the job. I am sorry so much it Feels happy but I have to go.»

  «But is it really the case? Cannot you stay he/she anchors some? Can your friends continue the job for you, no?» sbottò Laura.

  «I would like to still be but each of us has a well precise assignment and I cannot be replaced. I greet you, we see us!»

  Laura ran after Mark and it pushed him/it for an arm.

  «But is possible that you never understand anything! It feels happy it is the whole day that waits yourself, you arrive and later even a hour you go with a svampita that comes you to call. You are really a stupid!»

  I was astounded, Mark also more than me.

  I didn't have words and to escape the situation I threw me toward the table where my mother there was and I helped him to withdraw the dirty dishes.

  Laura and Mark were still discussing; while I spied every movement of theirs from the window of the kitchen, my mother it drew near to me to ask me thing was happening.

  «Nothing. The fact is that Laura is more crazy person than I imagined!» I answered with a smile and I went out in garden, also because Mark had gone away.

  I raced meeting to Laura:

  «But thing you have told him? Has thing told you?»

  «I have simply told him that you were happy if he still stopped some to the party, however it absolutely had to go for respect of his/her friends. I give him/it for him me the respect! Leave a girl in the day of his/her birthday to go away with a young
boy of doubt I taste! Maddish.»

  «Calmed, there is not badly anything of. I am already very happy that he has come, even if for little. Don't you understand my happiness? Your cousin is too much beautiful! I am afraid to be me person in love.»

  «Then it stops your excitements.»

  «Because?»

  «I have made him a battutina and from what I have understood, but I hope to be wrong me, he/she loves you but. as to cousin.»

  I saw every dream, every hope to collapse to my feet; the boy that made me accelerate the cardiac pulsation every time that passed me before considered me as. his/her cousin!

  I felt me emptied of all the emotions that I had always tried for Mark; a black cloud had passed in front of the sun and you/he/she had darkened each memory that I preserved of that boy.

  My friends were going because the party was ended and he was doing late. Were their parents waiting for them to house for the supper, would you/they have asked them as you/they had spent the day from me, if you/they were had a good time and above all if you/he/she had been a beautiful party but me thing I would have told to supper to my parents when you/they would have asked me that memory I would have had of my birthday and if I were happy as did I hope? Could not confess theirs that had been a stupendous day up to the moment in which a little boy that hardly knew the heart had broken me in thousand pieces!

  The only thought filled me of sadness and once more Laura it intervened in my help.

  «You have the shiny eyes, it Feels happy. Don't tell me that have made to break
