When I get back down, I grab my headphones from my backpack and take my keys out of the bowl in the entrance.
As I get outside, I connect my Air Pods and look for a suitable song. I choose a self-compiled playlist and make my way to the forest.
After a 10-minute walk through my neighborhood I reached my destination.
Right at the beginning is a small bridge that once led over a stream which has meanwhile already grown over.
I like the idyll and the wonderful smell of fresh air.
My thoughts wander back to today's math lesson. More precisely to the new student. He really has a great smile.
I wonder what he is like. What his voice sounds like. What his life looked like before he came here.
Surely, he is the complete sport ace and realizes his dream of a sporting career here.
That brings me to the question of what I'm doing here. I like to play hockey but it's not my passion to be a professional player for the rest of my life.
In the beginning my dream was to become a doctor just like my mother, after a while I wanted to become an architect. That went on and on.
It switched between these and that but nothing really felt right. So now I'm stuck with an empty head and I don't know for which future profession I'm working my ass of.
I come to the end of the forest and notice that this one-hour walk felt like 15 minutes.

When I get home my gaze fall onto the black Audi Q7 in our drive way which means that mom is back from work.
"Hello Harriet, how was your day?"
"Like every boring school day. How was your day mom?"
"Many emergencies and very stressful. I am glad to finally be home."
"Where's dad?"
"He's taking Ella to your grandparents."
"Can I help you cook?"
"It's almost done, but you're welcome to set the table."
The dinner conversation is filled with a light talk about my school day.
After I'm done, I take my dishes to the kitchen and head upstairs. I get some shorts and a top from my room and make my way to the bathroom to take a shower.

In the same moment I get out of the shower, my phone makes a ring noise.
Noah:
Here my master chef creation ;)
*picture*
Me:
It looks more delicious than I thought it would xd
Noah:
As if you could cook better?
Me:
Sounds like a challenge to me.
Noah:
Deal or no Deal?
Me:
Saturday 11 am at my place.

Romance"Wasn't it enough when you made a fool out of yourself two years ago? Open your fucking eyes and just be for once aware of your surroundings." He gets up with this sentence and leaves the table. I stare at the chair he was sitting on. Oh Lord how...
