Monday, September 13, 1971.

Summer is already fin d walk in London and autumn approaches. Temperatures have fallen gradually and the nights have got colder. Helena woke up this morning, sleepy, but at the same time anxious, it will be her first day in college. She looked at the alarm clock. It's six in the morning. The young woman got up from her bed and went into the bathroom and washed her face and did her oral hygiene and then still in her pajamas went towards the kitchen. His mother was already preparing breakfast, and her father read the morning paper. Helena kissed her parents on the cheek, wishing her good morning.

"The damn war in Vietnam has no end, Dad, that's very sad," she said in a report in the newspaper.

"Unfortunately it's far from over, my daughter," Carlos said.

"Anxious for the first day of college, my love?" Her mother asked, smiling.

"Yes, Mama," Helena grinned. "I feel I have a very special day. I hope that the classroom I'm going to study, whether it be decent students and committed to studies.

"You will surely be my daughter, it is not easy to get into Imperial College , only very intelligent students can do it, " he remarked to his mother.

Helena had coffee with her parents and then went to change her clothes. She put on a flowered knee-length dress and put on a pair of medium boots and grabbed an open -top sweater and tossed it over the dress, after all the morning in London was not hot or too cold but, It was soft around eighteen degrees and threatened to rain. The brunette passed a little lipstick on her lips and eye pencils to highlight her green eyes and braided her black hair. Once she was ready, she grabbed her college supplies, papers, and umbrella, and hurried down the stairs to the first floor of the house.

She said goodbye to her father, who was about to leave for work and got a ride from her mother to Imperial College, because her mother worked in a laboratory near the university. It was about fifteen to seven in the morning. Helena's first class will be at seven-thirty in the morning. Along the way, her mother and she were talking excitedly. Her mother talked about her lab work and Helena how eager she was for the first day of school. At seven- fifteen in the morning , Gilda stopped in front of Imperial College.

"Thank you for the ride Mom, I love you very much," said the young woman, kissing her mother's face affectionately.

- Love you too, my love. Have a great day at college. Re talk overnight. Good morning, "said Gilda.

"Good morning Mama." Helena smiled and got out of her mother's car and waved at her, until her mother's car disappeared along with the others on the avenue.

Helena sighed with anxiety and headed for the Biology building quickly. Upon arriving at the building, there were several lists with the names of the students and their respective rooms.Helena was looking for the list of first-period students at the Biology faculty. There were seven rooms from the first period. Helena after looking at the second list found that she was in class 1B and saw the number of the room. Quickly she headed for the living room. As soon as he entered he saw that the teacher was not yet in the classroom. She then decided to sit on the third bench, the first row, which is right next to the teacher's desk. As the minutes passed the room filled up as a student . It was about seven-thirty in the morning, but as it was the first day of class, many students were still lost as they found the classrooms. Not long after, all the students had entered the classroom and Professor Jessica introduced herself as a teacher of the Cell Biology subject and before she started to say anything else, someone knocked on the classroom door, which was already closed. The teacher opened the door and as soon as she opened, she saw a young man in dark glasses, aviator style, dressed in jeans, ripped on his knees, wearing All Star black, wearing a blue T-shirt and a denim jacket on top, was with his hair long blond slightly wavy and a beret on the head.
