The taxi stops, coming off the white Fiat with the nameplate still illuminated by the darkness lurking in the air this morning, my parents come out of the car followed by my two best friends Rosa and Luca, I look at them for a while then I I turn to the Baroque-style wisteria building, where I look uninterested in the start-up table, noting that the train will arrive at 4:53 pm watch my watch: 4:30 we are in advance

"Ariel, can you help us with luggage?"

"Yes Mom" ​​I turn around and grab my suitcase and my backpack, heading toward track 15 where the train will arrive, my friends are silent more than usual

"Does Ariel go for breakfast at the bar?" My father says, I stop and go to go to the bakery in the station where I remember that my little mother bought me some great pastries, then I realize no one follow me
"Are we going or not?" All four smiled and rushed to the pastry shop after having eaten a donut as big as my head and drank a good cappuccino with a lot of foam, I got up happy from the table where my friends watched their hesitant desserts, dad drank a cappuccino reading the newspaper and my mother wrote messages to her friends, and I head to the girl at the counter is a beautiful girl: long black hair, black eyes perfect pink lips, physical to slamming a donkey

"Eloise as always was all great"
She smiles

"You know, I took so long to fry that donut that you ate in 10 minutes," he says sarcastically

We start laughing.

"Yesterday I saw a beautiful guy"

"Really?"

"He was blond high green eyes," she says with his eyes squinting

"Too good to be true," I say, arrogant

"In fact, then she is sitting with a girlfriend I saw them kissing, telling" she leans at the counter with her hand on her cheek

"Bleach"
"Who knows why all the girls in your age say it, I hate it when you do that," she says with a bit angry tone

I nod

"So why are you here?"

I look at you confused and she tells me the myriad of luggage at the entrance, I had forgotten

"Dad has found a new job and then ... We move to Russia"

"But it is far away, come here and embrace me" I do what I say is the embrace I will miss this city, my friends, my quiet life. I look at her and she, seeing me, gives me a treat I will eat when I arrive in Moscow just to remember my life for a while. I watch my friends and my parents still eat and watch the watch 04:45 Strange seems to have spent more time, I look at Eloise for the last time, imprinting in my mind all the details because it might be the last time I see it all without I notice my friends and my parents have already got up and head to the upstairs track, greetings for the last time Eloise and I'm turning 'I'm ready to say between me and me

"The train 2987 Frecciarossa of 04:53 is coming to rail 15, the first class is in the in line of the train" I see the frecciarossa entering the station with its elegant pace, stopping at the station opens the doors and the capotreno urges us to climb faster, I turn to my friends and look at them exactly as I did with Eloise and embrace them, they both start crying
"Wherever you are, I will always love you," says Rosa

"I too," I say, pulling away from them and then getting on the train

"I love you" shouts Luca at those words I'm upset, I turn and I see tears running over her face, while Rosa consoles, she knew, I wanted to run from him, but at that moment the arrow doors closed and the train began his race that would last until one of the day, he looked at the electronic porthole where he was writing the departure and arrival of the train, in the first characters written in orange, there is the station we just started and under written "Moscow 13:15" I understand that I will have to stay in this arrow for nine hours, but now tired of thinking I'm coming and going to one of the cabins so I can get the lost hours of sleep as I lay on the blue bed in the train comfort cabin Morfeo's arms take me away.
