"You'll come to the trip, won't you?" Adolf asked me.

Every year, when it was winter break, the high school organized a trip for its students to a different country. We had already gone to London, Berlin, Madrid... this year we would go to Paris.

Our school liked Europe, the bad thing was that, it was many hours of travel to go to Europe forever.

How lucky the Europeans were, they had all the important countries nearby, just two hours apart between each one.

"Of course I'll go, why did you think I wouldn't go?"

"For last night's party, I thought you might have been punished..."

"Fortunately my parents did not come, besides, Adriana was the one who organized the party..."

"I'm looking forward to the day the journey. I love Paris, besides, it's the City of Love and light. Surely there we find some Parisian, the French are reputed to be very handsome"said Candace.

"Do you know if Adriana will go?" Asked Adolf.

"Yes, it's going to go all high school, not just our age. Besides, Adriana wouldn't miss it with Alexandre. "

Adolf scratched his nose. He always did when he was nervous. He didn't like me talking about Alexandre while he was.

Candace went to the bathroom, as if my house were her house and she left Adolf and I alone. When Candace closed the door, Adolf came running towards me.

"Can I ask you one thing before Candace comes? I thought you'd mind if I asked you if she was. "

"Yes, of course"

"Yesterday, at Alexandre's party... what were you doing with that boy?"

I stopped blinking. I had caught the question by surprise. How did he know? He was drunk.

"You know, the guy... tattooed. He was with friends older than us, you have to remember. Come on, Friday, don't lie to me, you remember perfectly! "

"Of course I remember"

"And what did you do on the couch I had in front of me. When he brought you we were the cheerleaders and I and then he kicked us out so you wouldn't be overwhelmed by seasickness. "

He did that?

"Wait... you weren't drunk?"

Adolf scratched his nose again, there was something he hadn't told me.

"Maybe not"

"Like you might not? Were you or not? "

"No, I wasn't."

"And why did you make me believe that you were drunk?"

"I thought if I did the drunk could... I could talk to Adriana, you know, a drunk not pay attention but you talk... I know I'm a fool, I'm sorry to lie"

"Don't apologize, if I had been I would have done the same"

"Yes!?"
