Not Awesome to Awesome

Hallo. Gilbert here. And I'm kind of sad today. Today is not awesome. I'm moving back to Germany. At least I have all my friends numbers. And to only think I made a new friend. I won't see him for a long time. It's sad. I don't feel so awesome. Right now I'm on the plane going back to Germany. Fritz made the decision to go back. Today. I didn't get to say goodbye to some of my friends. And now I really miss Matthew. I told Alfred to tell Matthew goodbye for me. This is worse than the time I found out Francis was a boy. Just kidding. Well it still hurts. Like a lot. Ludwig is leaving his little Italian friend behind.
It must hurt him a lot. I feel bad for him.

I had a strange dream. It all started with me in a room. The only thing in the room was a piece of paper. I reached in my pocket and found a crayon. So I wrote a note to someone. The only thing I could make out was Goodbye Birdie. It was weird. We landed and I looked around. I haven't been here in awhile. It all looks so weird to me now. I'm used to the busy streets of America. All the hustle and bustle of the city life. Since I can barely remember German, Fritz is homeschooling me. I still don't know why he wanted us to move back to Germany. I moved to America when I was only 5. And now I'm 15. I spent about ten years just laughing with my friends. Little Ludwig is only 12 and he doesn't know German well either. Fritz said he was going to home school him too.

"I'm never going to dance again.

These guilty feet have got no rhythm.

Though it's easy to pretend,

I know your not a fool.

I should have known better not to cheat a friend.

A wasted chance that I've been given.

So I'm never going to dance again.

The way I danced with you." I sung the lyrics to a song that I heard awhile ago. It's a good song. It reminds me of an old ex. I forgot her name. But she had beautiful long brown locks and emeralds for eyes. She was pretty. But I knew that it wouldn't last. She belonged to someone else. He was a musician. Pretty good too. I'm pretty sure they are still together. It's been some years now and I'm 17. Ludwig is 14 now. He looks well built for his age. I still look the same. Fritz told me and Ludwig that we can go back to America. He said we could stay with Francis.

Francis is 18 and he said we could stay with him until I'm 18 and could get a job to support me and Ludwig. Oh. I was so happy! I hugged Fritz. It was the first time I hugged him in years. I thanked him for like 20 hours! I couldn't sleep at all. It was amazing! Ludwig was happy that he would get to see his friends again. I was just happy to see that one special person. I still remember his violet eyes and that one curl that stuck out the most. His glasses, and his bear. His smile and that laugh.

I looked at the clock. Just a couple more hours and I'll be home, birdie.
