Hannah and Harry were in front of Mrs. Kingston's house, after their little walk. She suddenly stopped.

Hannah: Oh wait, I have something to do before! I’ll join you later!

She hardly had the time to cross the entrance that Brook had slammed the door, took her by the shoulders and forced her to sit on the nearest chair.

Brook: Sooooooo?

Hannah: What?

Brook: What did you do?

Hannah: Well, we walked in the the neighbourhood.

Brook: Oh c’mon! I’m not asking for this!

Hannah: You’re talking about some sexual allusions, right?

Brook: Just so!!! Did you talk about the nasty?

Hannah: The what?

Brook: Nevermind. It was obvious he wasn’t ready to tell you about this...How was he ?

Hannah: Hm... really nice! But we were both embarassed for some unknown reasons and finally, we almost didn’t talked at all. After all, it was better...

Brook: How could this be better if you didn’t even share a word?!

Hannah: It was! Because... Instead of this, we just have been looking at each other, searching for something to say... But we failed everytime and we just began to laugh about this. So, we really had fun even if nobody talked! It was... Special.

Brook: Hmmm... Sounds good but...

Hannah: I have to go! He’s waiting for me! I think... ‘not sure...

Brook: So why did you came back home? You should have stayed with him!

She sighed with exasperation when she understood her best friend didn’t know why she did so herself. She was totally lost; getting back home had just been a pretext to clear her mind and increase her self-confidence through Brook’s comments.

Brook, with a softhearted expression: Forget this. Now you’re here, so you can take the opportunity to bring an appologise gift in case of you weren’t expected at lunch. I don’t know, maybe... some condoms?

Hannah: What could I do with... Oh my fucking God; are you talking about THIS?

Brook: Sure I am! What could you do with these except from sex? Be careful, you're too naïve and I shall never repeat this enough...

Hannah: Don’t worry; I’ll be back before the twilight!

Brook: Haha, I think you’re old enough to learn that you can have sex when the sun shines!

Hannah, taking her head in her hands: Shut up! It’s confusing!

Hannah went away and knocked at the McFLY’s. Harry himself opened.

Harry: Ah, I’m glad you finally come! I was waiting for you!

Hannah, relieved: God bless you!

Harry: What?

Hannah, looking down: Forget it.

After this, they went in the living room.

Harry: Okay so... I was thinking...maybe, next time, we should go to the cinema?

Hannah, not really at ease with the idea of being on her own in the dark with Harry: No, I think we should... go for a walk again.. in Hyde Park, or somewhere else...
