Chapter 03
.
The next morning, I woke up quickly to clean the house, had a good bath and got ready for class. I was still putting my things in my bag when I heard a noise outside.
Big sister," shouted Samuel, the youngest in the family.
What's going on? I asked
Your girlfriend's waiting for you outside.
I'm already coming.
I grabbed my bag and left my room, locking the door behind me. As I came out of the hallway, I saw my mother coming out of her room.
I hope you slept well.
Yes, Adeline, and at home?
___ Fine, Mom. Thank you so much for the warnings yesterday, I'll take good care of it.
I'm glad to hear it, dear. Have a nice day.
Thank you so much, Mom.
With those words, I joined my best friend with a face full of smiles, seeing her right in front of me was already reminding me of yesterday's romp with her big brother.
Hello, Ruth.
Ruth is the name of my best friend, Donald's sister. Seeing the two of us, you'd think we were twins when we weren't related at all, but she's even fitter than I am, in short she's beautiful, thoughtful and kind. She looked at me strangely, smiled and replied:
___ Yes, hello Adeline, you look happy this morning, I thought you were going to scold me or put me up, but you greet me with such a radiant face, tell me what really made you happy.
___ Forget it ruthy, why am I going to scold you, it's nothing. You never gave me a false agenda so it's nothing. I can't get mad at you.
___ Thank you so much darling, so will you share your joy with me or is it confidential?
No, nothing's confidential.
I wanted to tell her the news, that I'd finally tasted paradise, but I couldn't, I couldn't for fear she'd ask for the man who'd convinced me to do it with him.
Ruth," I began again, "I woke up fine this morning, that's all. How are you otherwise?
I'm fine. Now that I know you're fine, it's over.
Cool.
___ Let's get moving, I don't like going to this teacher's class late.
You're right.
I sat behind her and we left the house, the whole town was quiet, sitting behind Ruth, I was just taking in the surroundings and the little corners of the town. Suddenly, she stopped in front of our school, I got off and she parked her bike.
Go on, I'll get some porridge.
Okay, Ruth.
I went to set up in the hall where my tablemate was already there, eh Diane, I can't forget that girl. She didn't do anything wrong to me, the reason I can never forget her is that she's really simple and with her, you never get bored of life.
Good morning Diane, I hope you slept well?
Yes, Adeline.
I'm fine, girlfriend. Diane, I've had a taste.
Are you serious?
___ I swear and you were right, it was really beautiful and amazing.
Tell me about it.
I spent a few minutes explaining everything I remembered, but I couldn't tell her exactly how I felt, or who made it. We were interrupted by the teacher's arrival.
Good morning students, we're going to continue with revision.
I didn't even want to hear about this "history and geography" course, so much so that I couldn't even read the content until I had to. Although he was explaining the course, me and Diane were talking patiently, not caring what the teacher was saying in front of us. Tired of hearing us churchoter, Ruth slowly turned around, winked and I winked back.
We'll talk about it at the pose.
___ Okay.
She turned and concentrated on the teacher's explanation.
At 10 a.m., the teacher released us and we each headed for the food of our choice. The three of us headed for the rice vengeance; rice was the only food we could eat in this school. After placing our order, we settled into the chairs.
Tell me, both of you, what was the subject of your discussion? Ruth asked, trying to look at both of us.
I was telling Adeline that I could stand in front of the whole room and teach the class, but she refused.
Aiiiiiiiiiiii she's got a point, don't you think, Diane?
We all smiled broadly, it was great to have friends like those two. Until then, I didn't know that something else was waiting for me, I didn't know until then that Ruth's father was secretly admiring me, I didn't know that I'd have a love affair with this man, a man who was devoted to doing whatever I wanted, you're all going to find out in front of us, no need to talk about it yet.
We had lunch in an atmosphere of joy as usual, at the end we joined the 10 a.m. class, a class I really like "philosophy".
At 1 p.m., each of us went home, and once at the gate, Ruth gave me a revision program for this evening. A program that I found really occasional so I could see Donald again, I mustn't miss this program, I'd have to do anything to fill the gap.
___ It's at 6pm, my brother would already be home. He'll be working with us in science as usual.
I'll come. I'll get ready to go.
Very well.
She put her motorcycle in gear and headed home. I hurried inside. As I entered the gate, I saw my father lying on the veranda sofa.
Good evening, Dad.
How was your day?
___ Fine, Dad. Didn't you go to the service?
No, my apprentices will do the work today.
___ Dad, I'm going to Ruth's tonight for a refresher course.
___ All right, dear, that's no problem. Once it's time to study, I'm delighted with your dedication and commitment. Good luck to you both.
___ Thanks a lot, Dad.
With those words, I went back inside to change and think about how not to miss the evening, which is really important.
