I had been « on another planet » (as my history teacher had so well pointed out to me) all morning. And yet, I wasn't thinking about anything in particular. I was just having Jim's smiling face appearing before my eyes and it was even worse when I was closing them because I felt like his arms where still around me and I could still smell his sweet scent that I would describe as ... Peach. These thoughts gave me a strong urge to eat. That's why, when I heard the sound that told me my class was over, I rushed to pack my things and headed to the canteen. Suddenly someone grabbed my arm and pulled me to another deserted hallway.
- What's at the end? If you really want us to be friends, don't let me starve.
- Relax, that's why we're here.
- In a hallway?
- No, I wanted to go to a restaurant with you.
- And where are you going to find it that famous restaurant, knowing we're not allowed to leave school until it ends?
He laughed mockingly when he added:
- You've never skipped?
- Jim ! You're serious?
- I can't be more serious Rose.

- Come on, please, I swear you won't regret it. After all... You're the first person I've ever skip class for and for something that simple.
- I'm not sure I should feel honored, you know.
- So accept it and then we're done talking about it and just having a good time together. Uh ?
My belly answered in my place, gurgling. At that time, I only wanted to disappear. But the only answer I could get for that unpleasant sound was a big smile and a:
- Come on, let's go.
