Matt ran down his part of the border, his friends nearby.
Erin jogged towards the heavily guarded electric fence.
They saw each other. Looking into each other's eyes, attracted to be together. Stopping in their tracks, they stared. And walked.
Their love was unstoppable, but it wasn't. The fence stood between them.
"Hi," it was Matt to introduce himself first.
"Umm, hello'"
"You look nice,"
"Same for you!"
They giggled and stood in silence.
"Well, I got to go to my...friends," Matt decided in the awkward situation just to leave.
"Ok."
Matt ran away, towards his house, making sure nobody had seen.
Diary Entries:
Matt:
So, I just was down at the border with my school friends and I saw this girl on a hill on the other side. She was absolutely beautiful, but she is Russian. I would be frowned upon by everyone if I met her. I can't tell anyone. I might meet her again, I'll check, I'll hide and watch. It's wrong! I can't be meeting a Russian ; I can't be watching a Russian, we are at war. We shall see what we do.
Erin:
As soon as I saw this young handsome boy my face lit up, yes he was Ukraine. My teams enemy, but I couldn't take my eyes of him. I can't resist going back there to see him again. But my heart is telling me he won't be there, because we are enemies that's all we might be.
