London.

POV Helena.

Sunday, February 28th.

Ten a.m. The alarm clock rings. I stretch out on my bed and get up. I go to the bathroom, do my oral hygiene, and take a soothing bath. Then I prepare a quick coffee, to help wake me up totally. The night before was a party. That's right.

I went to a party at Catholic college Maria Assumpta, with my friends Roger and Brian. That is the advantage of majority. I turned eighteen on February twenty. At the party were also present their girlfriends: Jill and Chrissy. Jill, Roger's girlfriend, hates me, she's jealous of me. She's a frivolous, naughty girl. I do not understand why Roger is still with her. I feel like she does not love Roger. Chrissy, Bri's girlfriend is cool, sweet. We get along very well. Only Freddie was missing with Mary, but, they had another appointment. Freddie, Bri and Rog have a rock band called Queen and they are in search of a bass player. And as incredible as it may seem at the party, Bri and Rog knew one. Jill and Chrissy are students of the Maria Assumpta faculty. They are studying pedagogy. They have a classmate, a young woman named Veronica Tetzlaff. Veronica was present yesterday, at the party too and took her boyfriend, John Deacon. John was introduced to us. He is a student of Electronic Engineering at Chelsea College at the University of London and said he is a freelance bassist who had a teenage rock band in the city of Leicester. The band's name was The Opposition. Bri and Rog at the same time smiled at each other and began a long conversation with John about the Queen band, that they are looking for a bass player, that had already been done six tests with bassists, but none fit the profile Of the band. John demonstrated intelligence, not only in the area of ​​music but also in the area of ​​Electronics. He has a shy way. Bri and Rog liked him and scored a test with John in one of the Imperial College auditoriums in two days.

I take the coffee quietly and look at the clock. Ten thirty in the morning. At noon Rog will be here, seeking me, to go to the University of Surrey. I will attend a parade this afternoon.

Want to know how I met Roger, Queen's blonde drummer? My beautiful friend? Let's go back to time ...

Flashback of Helena ...

My mother's name is Lívia Lins. She is Brazilian, graduated in Nursing. My father is British and his name is Phillip Mirtey. He is a surgeon. It all started when my mother finished the Faculty of Nursing in Brazil, in the city of São Paulo and went to study Master's degree at the University of London. At the same time, my father was also studying Master in London. The two met at the Medical School and fell madly in love and started dating. They finished their Master's degree two years later and my father asked my mother to marry him. My mother said that she would accept my father's request, but that she would like to live in Brazil for a few years in the city of São Paulo and that the two could work together in a hospital. My father knew nothing of the Portuguese language and my mother taught the basics of the language before they went to Sao Paulo. My maternal grandparents, who had a structured financial condition, had an unoccupied house in Sao Paulo and gave to my parents to live. My parents were married in London and then went to São Paulo / Brazil. Over time, my father became familiar with the Portuguese language and shortly after he got a job in the same hospital as Mom. He worked as a medical surgeon and mother as a standard nurse. Six years after being married, Mother became pregnant with me. I was born on March 20, 1953 in São Paulo, Brazil.
