It's now June 10th and my last day of college for the time being. I was sitting in my sociology class, which is my last class of the day. I had been dazing off for most of the day. The final bell rung and I practically jumped from my seat. I rushed out of the building as fast as I could.
« Y/n! » I heard a familiar voice call from behind me. I turned around to see my friend Jules swiftly towards me. I smile at her as she reaches me.
« Qu'est-ce qui presse? Tu vas voir ton petit ami? » She teases.
« Ce n'est pas mon petit ami. » I respond blushing.
« Quoi que vous disiez. » She responds jokingly. I roll my eyes.
« Je voulais juste vous rappeler de rester en contact pendant l'été. » She says.
« Je vais. » I respond.
« Super. Je te verrai plus tard alors. » She says with a smile on her face.
« À plus tard. » I mumble back.
I begin leisurely walking in the direction of my apartment. After about 25 minutes I get back to my apartment and decide to take a nap.
I had been asleep for maybe 45 minutes when I awoke to the sound of my phone ringing. I sit up suddenly and picked up my phone to see my mom was calling. I pick up the phone.
« Salut Maman. » I say in a groggy voice.
« Salut ma chérie! » She responds in a happy voice. « Comment allez-vous? »
« Je vais bien, merci. Heureux que les écoles soient terminées. Qu'en est-il de vous?» I respond.
« Je vais bien. Je voulais juste prendre des nouvelles. Tu parles toujours à ce garçon?» She asks.
« Oui. Nous avons parlé presque tous les jours.» I answer, a blush growing on my face. It was true, we had talked either over the phone or in person for the last two months or so. The two of us had gotten very close.
« C'est super! Je devrais probablement y aller. S'il vous plaît rappelez-moi bientôt.» Mom responded.
« D'accord. Au revoir. »
« Au revoir. »
I hang up and lay back down. I slowly drift back to sleep. When I awoke again, it was a little after 5:45. I didn't have much motivation to make dinner so I settled on making a can of tomato soup. I sit down on my bed and put on a movie. Maybe half an hour later I hear my phone ping. I check and see a text from Tamino.
I open it and it reads « Salut Y/n, Je vais en Italie la semaine prochaine et j'ai un billet supplémentaire. Voudrez-vous venir avec moi? »
« Absolument! » I respond a little too quickly.
« Excellent ! Notre vol part à midi vendredi prochain. »
« Excellent! » I respond. I was so excited. I had wanted to visit Italy since I was young.
That night I had vivid dreams of what was to come.
