A summer I'll never forget - ON HOLD

Chapter Two

It’s Monday morning, and I'm starting school in 2 hours. I got to school, on time and went straight to the principal’s office to get my timetable, I had Science first, and she called a young man called Paolo over the speakers of the school. 5 minutes after the announcement, a boy about my age comes to the office with long messy brown hair and brown eyes, he was gorgeous. The principal introduced us.

'Summer this is Paolo, he will show you to your classes for today' he said

I replied 'thank you' and followed Paolo to my first lesson, which was Science. On the way to class I turned to Paolo and remembered the Italian I had learned.

'Ciao’ I said.

'Si parla italiano?' he then said in a strong Italian accent.

'Uhh’ I had no idea what he was saying to me.

He then said 'ah you don't speak Italian, where are you from summer?'

I laughed 'no I only know, hi, goodbye and thank you. I'm from London' I was glad to see that he speaks English as well as Italian.

He nodded then said 'here is science, sir this is summer, the new student' the teacher looked me up and down.

'Find a seat and listen!' he said almost shouting.

Paolo whispered to me 'don't worry he's always like that, never seems to be happy, come take a seat next to me'

I sat down next to him, got out my pen and made notes on the lesson.

            Science dragged and I really think the teacher doesn’t like me, Paolo said he does but I don’t believe him. English was next and I was looking forward to it, I enjoyed English back home, I wonder if it’s different here.

‘Have you seen any of the monuments since you’ve been here?’ Paolo asked.

‘Uhh, no I haven’t but I really want to see the trevi fountain’

‘Yes it’s beautiful there and did you know if you make a wish and throw a penny in the fountain your wish will come true, I can take you if you want?’

All I could say was ‘wow, it’s sounds so magical, and yes please, I would love to see it, when can we go?’

‘I can take you tonight if you want?’

            I nodded and we made it to English I took a seat next to Paolo again; he helped me with my notes.

            The rest of my lessons flew by; I learnt that Paolo has two younger sisters, and an older brother. Paolo was coming to my house later on to take me to the trevi fountain; I was really looking forward to it.

When I got home, I told my mum where I was going tonight.

'Who’s Paolo?' she asked, intriguingly

'This boy from school'

'Do you like him?' she said smiling

'Mum!' I shouted while running upstairs.

I got to my room and rummaged through my wardrobe to find something to wear tonight. I finally settled on my blue flowery crop top and my light denim skinny jeans. Paolo had said in school that he would pick me up at 6 and it was now 5.30 and I'm nowhere near ready. I ran to the bathroom but the door was locked, so I banged on the door.

My sister shouted from inside 'what do you want'

'I have to get ready daisy!'

‘Why?’ she said curiously.
