Letter 1

Wednesday, February 19th, 1987

Six days have passed, and nothing is out of normal. On Friday, I gave Mr Garcia the redaction and he forgave my bad behavior. I also signed me up on Thurdays to help in the gym, just as Jane's friend told me to. Also, I have discovered that Dustin is kind of like me, so I started getting on better with him. Most days of this week he has eaten in the break with Jane and me, and that's fine. Maybe Ms Roosevelt was right after all, maybe the thing of the letters and trying to trust others can end up well. Tomorrow I will see her, and God knows what will happen. For now, is lunch time, and here we are, Jane and I waiting for the other boy to come

"So, Will what do you have now?"

"I have Maths with Dustin, you?"

"Literature with Max"

"Both of you are studying social sciences?"

"Yup, but I haven't seen her today yet"

"Huh, could she be skipping class?"

"With her boyfriend, she could, but I don't think so. She knew today we had a volleyball match, and she didn't come. And she loves volleyball. Almost as much as skating"

"Well I know another one that is missing"

"Yeah where can Dustin be?"

"No idea. And after Maths we have a project in Biology so he has to come. I can't do all the project alone!"

"Poor boy"

"Shut up, I hate Biology, Henderson is the sparkle of hope I needed"

"Yeah but before I introduced him to you, you didn't even know his existence"

"Of course I did! He sits two tables behind me! And we did groupal projects together"

"Yeah but you didn't talk to him at all"

"No! But that! Uh, that has a reasonable explanation"

"I'm impatient to hear it. Please continue"

"Uh... Wait now we talk about him, I think I've seen him a few times with Max and that guy that I guess is her boyfriend"

"Lucas? Yeah, that might've happen. They spend a lot of time together. They're an iconic trio"

"Well maybe they're doing something together, and that's why we haven't seen them today"

"Maybe, but I don't know, they would have said something"

"They didn't have to"

"You wouldn't have to, but Max tells me everything. She wouldn't have left me alone in P.E on purpose..."

"Awe the little girl is sad because she lost the match without her red haired friend?"

"No! ... We lost because Nadja fell on her ankle"

"Auch"

"Yeah auch. By the way Will, I think I haven't said this but, you look more friendly since last week"

"Thank you, I know. And the worst part is that I like it"

"The tough guy finally shows something else than a rude and anti social teenager huh?"

"Rude? I'm not rude!"

"..."

"Am I?"

"Just a little bit. But hey! You improved! I like this new Will that enjoys talking with me"
