A look inside the soul

Chapter 4

"She says she's here in two minutes," I announce to Oliver, who is waiting like me, watching the movements on the street.

Lina is supposed to join us, so we can all join Oliver's friends.

There she is, at the end of the street, looking around trying to spot us.

"Lina!" I call, spreading out my arm. "Lina!"

"She saw us-she saw us." Oliver calmly stops me before I could call again, and I let out a small 'oh.'

"Sorry I'm a bit late, couldn't find the spot with the map."

"Yeah it's fine, let's go," I say.

Oliver takes us to the meet spot Kate told him.

"By the way," Lina starts. "Cleo told me there was a party this week, she told me I could bring people."

Cleo's her friend.

"Yeah sure, where is it?"

"I don't know yet,"

"Wanna come?" I turn to Oliver on my right.

"Why not yeah."

"Great!"

With time, we got closer with Oliver, it has only been a week, but, enough for me to feel comfortable.

We joke a lot, I'm lucky to have found someone with my sense of humour. On the first day. That's all I could have asked for. I can't stand boring people.

I also got closer to some of Kate's friends. Loris mostly. And Kate.

"I have something to ask you," Kate starts, her gaze switching between me and Lina.

"Mmh?"

"I have a project for school, and I need people. Two people. I can't take any of my friends because they're in my class. The rule is people out of the class. So I was wondering if I could use you two for my project?"

"Depends on the project," I say.

"I have to design outfit based on the people, it's hard to explain because there are conditions but basically it's just like-modelling for me." She pauses.

Modelling? I never really felt comfortable with these kind of things.

"Oliver doesn't want to, this fucker hates playing doll for my projects." She adds.

"Well, I'm down." Lina exclaims, and that tone in her voice tells me that she's always wanted to do something related to fashion.

"Huh well-yeah I guess?"

"Great! Thanks!"

I exit by the door, deception taking over me; again.

It's the third one. Club. It's the seventh in general.

I've been asking coffees and clubs if they were looking for part-time jobs applications.

All refused. I did four coffees today, and tonight I'm doing night clubs.

I also went to see if I could do some sport. I paid to be able to go boxing. In a boxing club. It can be useful, and I need to let emotions out.

I'm once again walking the whole street to reach the apartment, and seeing the road reminds me of something.

Should I buy a car?

The train will be expensive at some point. And having my own car could be great. I already have my driver's license. Even though my parents weren't that happy about it, but it was useful. They hate the way I drive. My driving's too 'reckless' they say. They're just scared.
