TUESDAY 18TH OF FEBRUARY :

8:30 a.m : Surprisingly, I got up easily this morning, we could even, say I was motivated. That's quite strange by the way because I only slept 4 hours. Usually I turn into either a zombie or a yeti, but not this time... Ok, if I'm being completely honest, reading my little conversation in the bus with Calum during the bus ride motivated me, I ADMIT... I adwmit that I was grinning like a fool too... And that I read it again and again, ANYWAY. Otherwise, the spanish lesson is going pretty well, I'm not behind schedule so it's good. I'm alone, but it doesn't really bothers me. I'm not the kind addicted to social stuffs, so...

8:40 a.m : MERDE NO NOT ANOTHER ATTACK ! But why ? I'm alone, I feel good, I'm in my own world, I... Oh no, false alarm. I was just hungry, my bad... I think about food now... I'd kill for a donut ! Foccus, Clara, you have to be a model pupil for the moment. The disadvantages of starting one month later...

8:45 a.m : VAMOS A LA PLAYA, A MI ME GUSTA BAILAR, EL RITMO DE LA NOCHE, AJNEAZHFHEZIG FIESTA !

8:50 a.m : Save me, I've never been so dissipated in spanish class. But usually i like languages, they are my favorite discipline ! That's why I spend the year in Australia... BUT QUE ME PASA ? I look like a Chipmunks on LSD, i can't stop moving ! Is it the idea of joining Calum afterward that makes me act like this? It's the only thing I had in mind from the moment I crossed the doorstep. Or am I lacking of sugar ? Yep, probably the second option...

8:55 a.m : THE BELL IS RINGING ! My heart beat all at once, like an explosion. Or I have a grenade in my chest, but that's unlikely... Ok I have to stop being tense like that, I waited all morning, why panicking like this now ? Bouddha Jesus Hallah I'm totally freaking out ! I have this sensation ; like I'm in a rollercoaster, but not during the descent, no, the few seconds before, when you slowly go up, like in slow motion. When can see the descent, feel the action coming, the adrenaline ready to rush through our veins. Calum was a bit like this descent to me. That's quite strange by the way. I mean, I've been scared of people for like two, three years now, I'm always anxious when I have to meet new people but... him... it's different... It's mixed with a bit of excitement...

I'm finally out of my room... And Calum is nowhere to be seen... I've been duped again, what a fo-... He is here. I see him approaching. And he just saw me too, according to the smile he's giving me. I smile back, even though the muscles of my face are so tense I could hardly tell you the expression I have on my face.

- Bonjour the artist !

- Bonjour Mister the footballer ! How ya doing?

- Perfect, and you ?

- Perfect too !

- Follow me, we go in math.

- Hey, I'm sorry again for freaking out yesterday it was pathetic.

- Not at all, I already told you, I don't mind ! On the contrary, it touched me that you told me about it !

- Really ?

I instantly stopped walking. Get a grip Clara, he's just a very sweet guy.

- Of course, are you okay ? Are you panicking again ? He says, stopping too.

The kindness in his tone, he truly cares...

- Oh, no, excuse me ! It surprised me, that's all... So, the math teacher ?
