My alarm goes off at seven o'clock, which I turn off instantly. Something is moving, as soon as I look I see that Álvaro finally fell asleep with me and did not go up to his room. I decide to wake him up.


- Hmm? He can't even open his eyes.


- Come on, you've spent the whole night on the sofa.


We get up and while he sits on the couch completely asleep, I begin to collect sheets, blankets and pillows. I push the extension of the sofa bed all the way in and yank Álvaro up. He has to make me breakfast since I have no idea where he has everything.


While I take the opportunity to get dressed and wash my face. Coming out of the bathroom I meet his mother.


- Are you already awake? – is surprised.


- Yes... - Álvaro sighs, sleepy.


- I also took the trouble to pick up the room - I smile.


- It was not necessary, Lara. But, thank you - he smiles back at me.


After breakfast I take all my things and go to Cristina's house to surprise her.


- Good morning - I say smiling without even letting Cristina say anything.


- What are you doing here? - he kisses me shyly - What a surprise! Good morning – he is happy.


He invites me in. I walk her to the kitchen because I had just caught her having breakfast.


- What time do you go to class? - asked.


- Normally at seven, but today and tomorrow an hour later since the teacher is off. And you, when do you have classes?


- Well, I should go now - I make a sad face.


- Oh... Well, I'll walk you to the door - we get up from the table and go to the door.


I take the backpacks again in a slightly uncomfortable way and as I can I try to take the bicycle.


- Lara, if you don't have anything important to take to class in the other backpack, can you leave it here or, in the end, don't you stay to sleep tonight...?


- Well, honestly I haven't asked, but I know they wouldn't give me any trouble – I smile – Although I'm thinking of staying for lunch and then in the afternoon going to my house to continue helping and then coming back here to sleep with you. Of course, only if you want - I pout involuntarily.


- Great for me - he smiles at me very happily - What time do you leave school?
