Dreaming boy - Translation

Chapter 4

I return to my mother with a big smile and I can't deny it. Or even hide it.

She probably noticed it, but I hope she doesn't ask hundreds of questions about the reason for that smile..

I drink my chocolate thinking about my whole life, why? No idea but I'll do it...

- I found a high school. My mother tells me without context.

I stop drinking and look at her without saying a word...what did she just say?

- What? I answer, probably in surprise.

- I wanted to make sure that this one was perfect and that you felt good there. We visited, spoke with the director and I sincerely think that you will feel good there...trust me.

- but...I love you mom! I don't even know what to say...I trust you completely, nothing can be worse than now.

Describing my feelings is not even powerful enough to feel my joy. I'm overdoing it a little, my high school right now isn't "horrible" but being invisible is still quite unpleasant...but like every super cliché film says "new high school, new beginning"!

[...] 8:34 p.m.

I get out of the shower and as I was brushing my hair, a notification from my phone catches my attention.

When I take it, a smile comes to me when I see the recipient.

Jaden

Hi Faye, for tomorrow, I wanted to make sure that you said yes and not that I misheard because of the noise!

Seeing his message I chuckle alone in my room, part of me tells me it's a little cute.

Hi Jaden, I said yes for tomorrow, why would I refuse?What follows is a raised arm emoji like "I don't know" but my smile doesn't fade during the conversation..I'll pick you up around 11am?No problem

________________

In the minute I send him my address, hoping that it's not a psychopath who wants to kill me or I don't know what..

I go to sleep thinking about everything that could happen tomorrow but I'm just paranoid.

In my dream this time there is a baseball field, a team, and finally this Jaden.

9:21 a.m.

I look at the time and rush to choose the perfect outfit for 10 minutes. Or put on makeup and then find that I've put on too much and mess up, so start all over again for the hundredth time... then in the end go natural.

I go down happily to grab some fruit like breakfast.

- Why did you make yourself so beautiful? My father asks me when he sees me arriving.

- I'm going to baseball practice. I smile

- But you have never been interested in this sport before?

I'm almost sure that you don't even know how it plays out... my mother responds to my response.

It's not wrong...I don't even know the rules of the game...

- It's true...but there is a first time for everything!

I take the desired object and go back to my room, I put on some music and spend my time preparing my hair.

When the bell from downstairs echoes throughout the house, my heart beats faster and faster as my steps get closer to the door, then suddenly I open the door.

I find Jaden there in his outfit, his hair neatly styled and a touch of perfume that I can smell all the way up here..

My eyes stuck on her face makes me lose my tongue.

- How's it going?

- Oh yes, excuse me! I just grab my bag and let's go. I answer out of my thoughts.

I grab my bag in less than 2 seconds and leave the house.

- Shall we go there on foot? I ask seeing that we are moving forward without any other transport.

- astonishment you live 5 minutes away so yes.

I follow him without saying any other words..

- And you do a sport?

- Me? Oh no! I have two left arms.. better not give me a bat or other sporting object.. I laugh.

- It's just in your head I'm sure. he's laughing too.

- And how long have you been playing baseball?

- Since I was old enough to walk, and since then I have never stopped. he smiled.

- And I hope you never stop given everything you tell me!

He laughs when, turning my head, I observe a large building.

- We arrived. He announces seeing me looking at this same building

- A baseball field isn't supposed to be outdoors...?

- Also...but the field is 1 minute further, we are in front of the high school which also owns the baseball field.

Speaking of high school, it reminds me that my mother sent me information about my next establishment, in a few seconds I will see her message

I start reading their program and finally see the name, I turn off my phone and continue walking but looking at the building again I see the exact same name between the sign and my phone. "Buford"
