Life in summer

Summer 2021

Diclaimer: in this story Covid does not exist. everything mentioned is fiction and not true, take it light hearthly.

I had three cup of coffee, why do I still feel tired. My shift starts in 30 minutes I feel like the bus will be stuck in the traffic for another 20 minutes, always the same thing, the same thime on saturdays.

The weather is perfect today.

Not too warm, a little breezy just enough to push your hair back without having it all over your face. The sun, not shining strongly to burn your skin. Being able to still carry a light jacket and wear my favorite turquoise a skirt, reminds me of summer 2021, in London.

What if summer 2021 was different ...

Summer 2021

" Hi everyone. This is Kushi, She is from France and she is will be my next assistante for this year. I count on you guys to make her feel comfortable. Kushi, I'll see you in 15 min in from of the class."

" I will. Hello everybody"

The foreign language of this university is small comaparing to others, they only have italian, spanish and german while others had at least 8 or 10.

" Hi I'm Dina, I am from Brazil. How are you finding London so far ?

" Hi, I'm kushi, nice to meet you. I quite like it, i came here before but that was when I was 17, with school and now at 23 it is quite diffrent, i'm sent by school. Are you also a language assistante ? "

" Yes, I am a Spanish one. I came here a month ago, you are going to love it. The other two girls are sweet. I'll see you later for lunch, ok ? "

This is not a bad start, i just have to relaxe and evrything will be fine. i just need to complete my apprenticeship and if it goes well i can hopefully apply somewhere else.

" Nice to meet you Kushi too, I'm Marta. I'm the German teacher assistante. How was you first day ? "

" It was interesting, I was ready for worst. I was so nervous but Professor Mathew kept reassuring me that it's ok to make mistakes. Its my fist day after all"

The bus is so different here compare to Paris, I like looking at the view from the top section of the double decker bus.

Marta finished at the same as me, we couldn't meet during lunch she had her break outside smoking.

" Which way are you going ? "

" I'm going this road and you ? "

" I'm turning left, want a cigarette ? "

" Non thanks Marta, I'll see you tomorrow then. Message me if you want to go for drinks or something"

" Sure, we could take the bus together tomorrow as well ? "

" yes why not"

" Alright then, see you tomorrow Kushi"

Coincidenly we live close to each other, our host family are in the same area and have just a 15 min walk from where she stays compared to me.

I have a feeling this is going to be a great experience.
