The day after,

Maeva wakes me up by jumping on the bed, quickly joined by the Kelly-Amber duo who have just stormed into the house on Maeva's orders.

As they prepare breakfast, I get dressed, smiling at the prospect of a beautiful day.

While biting into a slice of bread, Kelly mutters that she has something important to tell us. I try by all means to extract other information from him but without success. The final verdict? We will know during the day.

In order to make the most of the day, we arrive at the mall as soon as it opens.

Instinctively, I go to shoe stores but the girls pull me back and lead me to a women's lingerie store.

-Don't move!, Amber orders me before going to the shelves followed by Kelly and Maeva.

Two minutes later, I see them come back with a mountain of underwear.

- But girls I will not...

I am cut off by Kelly who pushes me into a cabin and so I begin my fittings.

The first set is bright red.

I almost choke on my saliva seeing the little fabric that covers my body and immediately removes it without allowing anyone to see the result.

I look at the mountain of sets the girls have brought me and pull out a black one, much simpler than the previous one.

This time, I'm more than won over and ask advice from the girls who stare at me.

-Cannon...

-Sexy even!

We leave the shop with a smile on our face while talking about the Christmas ball. It is a tradition that the school undertakes to respect each year. So on these thoughts, our attention is captured on dresses in the window and with a knowing look, we enter the shop. Each comes out with a bag where the precious coin is hidden.

Hungry, I let myself be guided to a small restaurant and dragged my three friends after me.

As our dishes have just arrived, Amber puts both of her elbows on the table, staring at Kelly with a mocking smile on her face.

The latter is concerned about a tall blond, located behind Amber. When he notices her, he approaches and without any form puts his lips on those of my friend.

I clear my throat as Kelly rolls over, peony red cheeks and a silly smile plastered on her face.

"Uh...this is Oscar my soul mate," she stutters.

- Delighted girls, said the concerned.

- We the same, we answered in chorus.

Then it's Maeva's turn to turn tomato red. Jack has just arrived in the restaurant, visibly accompanying Oscar. And second exchange of amorous scents under the mocking eyes of Amber.

When each has finally left the other's mouth in peace, Jack says, while walking away:

- See you tonight my heart...

He does not finish his sentence, suddenly embarrassed by our presence.

When I turn to Maeva, she is almost under the table, dead of shame.

- See you this evening?, I repeat.

-He may have offered me to go to the cinema...cinema yes....

I burst out laughing. A frank and frank laugh. A laugh that frees me from the last dark days. A laugh of deliverance.

When I fall, exhausted, on my bed, my eyes close almost immediately and I fall asleep with a smile on my face.
