Zoey had no idea what problem she got herself in. Her life started falling apart once Xavier left her. So one day, just before she lost all her hope, she put her life in the hands of a stranger. She jot down her decision on a small note, asking if she should end it. Xavier left his best friend. He left her for his own benefit, not thinking about her at all. The only time he realized this, it was too late, she had gone and left him already. So when he found a note from a stranger telling him that she wanted to kill herself, he had this urge to help her, guide her back on track to her life as he failed to do for Zoey. He told her that he'd always be there for her. They never knew, even just slowly, that their broken heart was being sewn back together.

O subtexto bem poderia ser o seguinte: No mês mais desesperadamente quente e inviável de uma cidade desesperadamente quente e inviável, as pessoas saem às ruas e festejam. Desfilam, pulam, dançam, beijam, trepam, vivem, desesperam, desistem, adoecem, riem, fantasiam, esquecem, tropeçam, caem, gritam, esperam, suam – principalmente suam – despistam, insistem, desandam, entorpecem, abusam, estupram, roubam, perdem, ganham e dão. Fevereiro é quando a fervura sobe, transborda e é esquecida no fogão até azedar. É a procissão que redime os nossos pecados – a saber: o trabalho, as contas, a polidez, a civilidade e a infelicidade empurrada com a barriga até virar hábito, cultivada até virar mania. Não, eu não odeio o carnaval. Eu odeio ter que escrever folhetos de viagem sobre o carnaval. Ter de prometer que, em quatro dias, algum imbecil vai ter o pau estimulado e satisfeito como nunca teve, em cinquenta anos. É ter que, jeitosamente, dar a entender a alguma frustrada que, aqui, os homens sabem preliminares, partidas e prorrogações. É lançar às multidões de ninguéns a invocação mágica. “Venham, meus filhos! Soltem seus demônios! Aqui o exorcismo é ritmado, a penitência é um adereço e o arrependimento, uma alegoria. Tragam seus paus, suas bundas, suas bucetas e suas bocas. É a festa da carne. Se você tem quatro mil, duzentos e cinquenta e seis reais, pagos em doze vezes, pode comprar o seu ingresso, com direito a quatro noites, café da manhã e visita ao Cristo Redentor. Com o acréscimo de apenas mais cem reais, você ainda faz um tour pelas favelas pacificadas e observa como vivem apaziguados e satisfeitos os criadores do jongo, do samba, do pagode, das escolas de samba e do funk. Será que no futuro teremos o funkódromo? Você poderá almoçar nas comunidades e comer o típico prato carioca, composto por arroz, feijão, bife, batata frita, farofa e salmonela...

As I walk into the school, I see her. I run down, and greet her with a hug. "How are you, Brit?" "I am great! I am so excited for this year." "Hey, Brit! Hey, Beth!" We hear a guy's voice, and we instantly know who it is as we turn to face him. "How are you, James!" we respond. "Are you guys excited for this year? It should be fun, if my older brother was right." James says. "I sure am. I can't wait to start the dance program. I heard it's great." I say, and both of them roll their eyes and laugh. As the lights go down in the auditorium,  everyone quiets down waiting for the first speaker at the welcoming assembly. I catch eyes with a stranger. He is tall, with dark, chestnut hair, and a nice body. He looks away as he realizes he is staring. I can tell he is blushing.
