Lontana Da Me 2

Fight For Love

When Mirko woke up he first realized that he had been falling asleep on Valeria's bed. That had not been his plan. What had happened? He had waited for her and then...he did not remember everything. He only knew, that he had laid down on her bed and then it seemed like he had been falling asleep. Creepy.
But he could swear that he talked to Valeria. Or had it been a dream? He could still feel that she had been here. Next to him. What time was it?
Tired he tried to open his eyes and took his mobile out of his pocket. When he first took a look the only thing he saw was a white light. But after a few seconds his eyes got used to the light and he could see the background of his mobile more exactly. The picture of Vale and him made him smile. That's why he used it for his background. Because it did not matter how bad he felt, everytime he saw it he was happy. It was like a wonder.
But wait! He wanted something else. What had been on his mind before he saw this picture?
The time!
His eyes flew over the screen and found the time. Eleven o'clock. Okay that was...That was too late!
It was Wednesday! He had to got to school and the school had just began!
"Fuck!", he shouted out and jumped out of the bed!
His father killed him if he would find out that he missed in school for one day. As well if he came to late! It did not matter what he would do now. His father would be angry.
As fast as he could he took his shues and ran out of the apartment. Why Valeria had not told him that it had already been late. Or had she not been here? Had it been a dream?
No, he had no time to think about that right now! He had no time to be angry because she had forgotten about their meet. He had no time to be sad about the situation they were in. That everytime they wanted to spend some time Valeria had to work. There was no time for nothing! He had to take the next bus to school. Now!

During Mirko was chasing the time Valeria had to practise the dances with her crew. But she was kinda out of space. And that wasn't that good. Until now she just had felt this way when she met Mirko, because she had to think about the dances and the movie the whole time. But now it changed. Now she had to think about Mirko during the rehearsal. And it was clear to see that she was somewhere else with her thoughts because her moves were messy and bad.
"Stopp!", their choreographer yelled and turned around looking at Valeria angry, "Valeria, what is going on with you? You're moving like you have never danced before."
That was true! She danced horrible and the problem was that she had not been able to talk with Mirko this morning. He had still slept and it had looked so cute. She had not been able to awake him. So she had just left the house to go to the rehearsal. But it did not change anything about her feelings. Another proof that Mirko was the only one in this world who could make her feel better. Who could calm her down or make her happy. He was the one. And she treated him so bad. He did not deserve that.
"Come on, Federico, her moves weren't that bad! You're overreacting", Marco said to defend Valeria. That was really sweet. But it did not work anyway and Federico was sure that she had done a bad job. And she did so she deserved this.
"Marco, that's none of your business. So keep yourself out of it", Federico reacted snippy. Then he looked at Valeria again. And he did not look content: "Valeria, do you need a break?"
She knew that if she said yes, it wouldn't be great for her position in this crew. So she decided to give her best now.
"No, everything's okay. Don't worry about it."
"I don't worry about you. I worry about the movie and my job. Because if you guys don't do a great job, I am fired. So come on and work hard now!"
Maybe he was a little bit selfish but his words had also motivated everybody in this hall. Only Valeria was still a little bit insecure. She wanted to give everything now. She really was about to do it! But she was not sure if she could.

When Mirko entered the class room without knocking on the door before every single eye was pointed on him. He was way to late and that's something no teacher liked to see. Especially if the person came in without knocking on the door first. Sometimes Mirko wondered why he did such stupid things like that. Without any sense!
"Mirko, you're...very late", his Prof realized and look at him with rised eyebrows. This day did not start well.
"Yeah, I am sorry. But...I had something really important to do that could not wait."
"What exactly? Maybe running after your girlfriend that is ten years older than you?"
Giulia! Why had she become that stupid and nasty? Mirko thought that in a way he could trust her. Yes, maybe the way they broke up had not been the perfect way. But it had not only been Mirko's fault. Because he could not change his feelings. He could not make hisself to fall in love with someone. His heart decided. And it had decided for Valeria.
"Giulia, please", Signore Pasquarelli said, "I am not caring about the reason why you are late. The point is that you are late and that I won't accept it the next time. Okay?"
Mirko mumbled a little Okay and then the school-bell rang. The lesson was over so the teacher left the room without saying any other word.
Mirko's eyes were looking for his best friend. Daniel was hanging out with Giulia so he walked towards them, because he had to talk to both of them.
"Ciao, ragazzi!", he said friendly, "Can I talk to you?"
They just watched him with an angry face. And Giulia also started laughing. Why was she laughing?
"What?"
"I think it is a little bit funny that you want to talk to me", she laughed ironical, "One year you don't care about me and now you want to talk?"
"Giulia, that's not true and you know that", Mirko replied, "I tried a lot to build up thisfriendship again we had before. I did everything but you were just ignoring me and hanging out with this Leo."
Leo was her new boyfriend. This arrogant badboy. A player who obly wanted to be with a girl to show everybody how cool he was. And then he would break her heart. He would also do it to Giulia and Mirko was sad for her because she meant a lot to him. Even though she was mean in the last year.
"Hey, stop talking like that to my girlfriend, idiot!"
Mirko rolled his eyes. Everytime he wanted to talk to Giulia to say sorry or to ask her what was going on in her life because he still cared about her and knew that he had broken her heart this silly boy came and made it impossible to talk to her.
"Leo, I am just talking to her. Nothing more", Mirko said annoyed and turned around to look into those terrible eyes filled with hate.
"No, no, no, my friend. You are talking about me. That's a difference."
Sure! This boy did not want to defend his girlfriend. He was only interested about the things which were said about him: "What did you say about me, stronzo? I heard my name coming out of your mouth."
"Yes, I talked about you. I said your name because you are Giulia's boyfriend and I think that you are not good for her."
Mirko was so angry because of a lot of things so he had enough anger and courage to fight this boy.
But he just started laughing: "Oh, you're funny! You're funny because you are saying this without knowing me."
"Oh, please! Sure, I know you. Because I know a lot of guys like you", Mirko answered and stayed where he was when Leo came closer towards him, "You are just about having a girlfriend to show off. And in a few weeks you will leave her alone. And I think Giulia does not deserve that."
"Oh, okay! So when you think you know me and my grilfriend, I can also say something I think about you and your girlfriend."
He came even closer and that was something Mirko really did not like. But if he wanted to say something about Valeria now he should be very careful.
"I think that you are a little...stronzo just searching for the love of his life. And because of that you fell in love with this girl that's ten years older than you."
Mirko heard his classmates laughing. Yes, everyone was quiet now to listen to their little fight. And Mirko had to admit that he wasn't happy about how everybody was finding out about his relationship to Valeria. But he was standing by her. Always! Because he was proud to be in love with such an amazing girl. Even if everyone would laugh about him.
"Listen up, Leo! It isn't just me falling in love. She also loves me. So everything is fine, isn't it?"
"Do you really think this girl loves you?", Leo grinned, "She is playing with you!"
With every word Leo was saying, Mirko's heart started beating faster and faster. Because he was angry as hell. This boy had no plan! He did not no anything about love and he did not kno anything about Valeria's feelings. Or did he?
"A girl that is ten years older than we are would fall in love with me. But not with such a loser like you are. You are still a kid and if I am allowed to give you some advice: You should be honest to yourself and leave her before she does it."
Now Leo stood in front of Mirko and looked into his eyes directly. Mirko could not even identify the color of his eyes. They were without any color and showed exactly what Leo's character was about: He did not have one.
"And she will do it because she is just a little stupid and silly girl playing with you and feeling cool because she can laugh about you with all of her friends."
That was too much! Without thinking about it Mirko pushed him back. But that had not been a good idea because Leo was much stronger than he was and one second later Leo punshed into his face!
A big fight began. And noone else tried to solt this problem. They were just standing around them and yelled things. Most of them were against Mirko what made him even more stronger so he used this power to push Leo down on the floor and directly in front of a teacher who came in when Leo fell. Perfect! Leo laid on the ground and Mirko looked aggressive as hell! Everybody would say that this fight had been Mirko's fault and Leo had just tried to defend himself. Perfect! Really, that was typical for Mirko who had never been lucky. Never!
