My heart was beating in the beat of this song as i walked at the hall. We have discussed it with the group and everyone agreed. Even Mary under the condition that i would tell her what was the matter. We couldn't find him at the yard neither at the cafe nor at at the library. So i now was looking for him at the hall. I was so nervous i could hear my own heart beat. It was beating at the tempo of clocks. I passed many classes untill i heard noice. People talking, inside a classroom. Odd because first of all it was prohibited and secondly nobody wanted to be inside a classroom.  I got to the door the voices were coming from and look through the window. There was where he stood. Ed, with his pretty eyes, his nicely cutted black hair, his wonderful skin which color was simillar to the one chocolate has. With his beautiful body, he was sitting on a desk and he was talking to Mr Hileds. I took a deep breath and knocked the door. I walked in as calm as i could i looked up. Both Mr Hileds and Ed were looking at me. I threw them a what? look. Then i focused on Mr Hields. - Mr Hields, the Principal would like to talk to you. - Oh, yeah sure. He left running forgeting to lock the class. Ed colect his belongings and walked towards the exit. There was my chance to talk to him. Or now or never. - Um, hold on a second. i said and walked towards him. He stopped and  turn to look at me. - You are the new kid, Ed, right? - Yeah, this is me and thanks for not calling me Andre. -Andre? What..? - Yeah, just an annoying nick name Chris and Martin gave me. - Well, you shouldn't care about them. They just think they are innovating. - That is dificult you know because Andre seems like French and i hate France because everybody there is ..... -Dirty. we said together. He looked impressed - And you are? - Oh, yes, sorry. My name is Anna, you can call me Ann and i am here in a mision. He looked at me like i was an allien and i couldn't blame him for it. Mision? What was i thinking? -Well Anna, nice to meet you, i'm Ed. But you know that, i don't know why i repeat it then. Anyway, what is this mision about? - Well, actually a friend of mine noticed that you haven't made any friends. I mean you don't stick with any group so my mision is to offer you joining us so that you will finally fit in. - Fit in?   -Um, yeah i'm pretty sure that is what they meant. - Well Anna i would be glad to meet your friends, i have nothing to lose anyway, but i don't think i want to fit in. - Why is that? Instead of anwsering me Ed open his bag and took out a book that was certainly not a school book. He opened it and start reading. - I walk through the forest as the sun went down. Thousend things went through my mind but my mind was blink. I could feel the forest, the trees breathing, the birds flying. I felt part of this world. This world that was far different from ours. There was no internet, no tv, no phones. Still this world had something very rare in ours. Beauty. I felt this world and i made it mine. The only feeling this world  created me were hapiness and freedom. I felt free, really free for the first time in my life. He closed the book slowly and put it back to his bag. I didn't even realised i was crying. - Why are you crying? he asked me. - I, I don't know i guess  i just feel jealious that i haven't felt that. Or maybe i felt it just a little bit through your read and i was so besotted by it i couldn't help expressing my feelings. He noded as he knew. - Anna, i have felt that. I have been there, walked there. Do you think after that i would want to fit in some group and be no one? Just a part of a group? What if your group can't handle my feelings?  - I am sorry if i insulted you. I,I ...... - No,i'm sorry. I was besotted. Ididn't mean to be agressive to you. You know, you are one of the most reasonable people i have met in this school. I would like to meet your friends. - May i ask you, who wrote this book? He looked at his back, but he didn't take the book out. - It is : The way to the forest of freedom. And it's written by John Phill, my dad. - Wow, Ed this is really beautiful. - Yeah, and i helped him to. It was the last book he wrote although only the first we wrote together. - He got retired? - You could say that. I prefear saying he went to the forest to find his freedom. Regular people say it death. - Wow, i'm sorry. Actually , i think it's noy a big deal. Ed looked me in the eyes with a weird look. - It's not a big deal because he is still alive since you, me, we are reading his stories. Also if he went to find his freedom,let him find it. Ed nod. - Will you finally take me to your friends? I let a smile appear for a second and then walked towards the exit waving to him as to follow me.
