My place in the life

opted for the commercial technical institute. We had thought that, if a day we had not felt like anymore continuing the studies, someone would have offered us an employee place and we would not be found in the middle of a road so there.
I was very nervous, however, because the Saturday there would have been the party organized by Mark following evening. Also Laura was some shaken. strange but true! . because it had adocchiato to friend of Mark and it said that you/he/she could not live anymore because that boy had taken her heart. I would never have thought that Laura could fall in love. Was not in his/her nature!
Just while I was dozing off me on I lay down her/it I felt her/it arrive in bicycle. You/he/she had not entered garden yet that it already howled prey to a hysterical crisis.
«Thing happens Laura?»
«Oh, I cannot believe there, I am too shaken for telling you thing has happened me!»
«Then not to tell me him.»
It was the only way to make to speak her/it.
«I have to tell you everything, I cannot hold me inside such a great thing.»
Laura was nervous; it kept on rubbing himself/herself/themselves the sweaty hands, he/she didn't succeed in being firm.
«I have felt Mark for telephone this morning because I wanted to investigate some on the account of Stephen and to know, naturally, if it were everything ready for the party and who the guests were. Do you know what you/he/she has confided me that perfidious of Mark? What you/he/she has put a good word for me with his/her friend considering that you/he/she had realized that I fed a particular interest for Stephen. I kill him/it! I am sorry but anymore relatives we won't become.»
«Calmed Laura, you should be happy. Even the road has flattened you with Stephen. You seemed so afraid, you feared that Stephen would have you" sent to stretch" and now you have resolved perhaps the problem.»
«It is this the problem now. How do I have to behave me when will see him/it?»
«Normally.»
«You speak easy. And if it starts laughing as soon as does he/she see me?»
«Because would owe. At all have made burdens bad impression on him! Simply he knows now something in more on your account. According to me you should take advantage of the situation and to do you before.»
«Are terrorized! I have never felt this way. Help!»
«Are crazy! Now we are in the same boat and Saturday we won't let each other escape the occasion. We will conquer them!»
«We hope.»
The cottage was found in the middle of the wood; it was not great but very pleasant. The wall to north was almost entirely covered of musk, while that opposite was crossed by an ivy and by climbing yellow flowers that surrounded delightfully the door of entry.
You/he/she could not be seen to the inside through the glasses because the windows were carefully adorned with delicate end curtains dams.
The roof had been repaired by few because the new tiles were distinguished; the grass had been mowed and assembled in an only heap under a roofing.
The house belongs to the fatherly grandfather of Mark and his/her father now preserved her/it as you/he/she was a chalet for the vacations.
Mark took him choice as place for the party and really there Laura and I had arrived hardly that warm afternoon. We had crossed the whole street line in saddle to our mountains bike and we had come on the place exhausted and sweaty. Fortunately behind the cottage there was a fountain near which we drank and we refreshed there.
«Have finally arrived! We thought that you would not have succeeded to arrive until quassù in bike and with this heat.»
Mark was beautiful as the sun, slightly tanned, wet hair went down some on his forehead; he wore a white shirt without sleeves, a pair of jeans cut above the knee and brown scarponcini to the feet. That air" dowdy" it made him/it irresistible and even more beautiful.
I quadrated him/it from head to toe, every centimeter of his/her physicist you/he/she was memorized by my brain. I was only fourteen years old but I started to understand as the in love people are felt.
Stephen appeared to the sudden one behind the shoulders of Mark with a scoundrel smile and started to mock us:
«The ladies have finally arrived! Finally here they are here!»
Now it was Laura to have remained without words. It had the blocked eyes, the mouth seeds opened and the hand tightened so strongly me to stop me the circulation. Its expression seemed he/she wanted to say «I don't believe in my eyes.»
There was few to do: we were cooked.
Mark and Stephen had already prepared the fire for the meat to the grate; Laura and I prepared the table on the east side of the house. We had to take the dish that you/they were found in the cottage and as soon as I crossed the threshold I suffered a sense of calm and heat.
The room entertained on the side I damage a small kitchen with everything the necessary: above the sink there was the shelf with the dishes, of side the gas with the oven and a belief with other dish. Against the opposite wall there were the table and three chairs covered by red pillows.
The right side entertained a parlor with many shelves along the greatest wall, a carpet of thick hair on the floor and a long couch covered by a wool cover sewn by hand. The couch acted from dividing between the kitchen and the parlor.
On the wall of forehead there were two porticines, surely a bedroom and a bath.
I believe to have remained some minutes to scrutinize every angle of that cottage, I wanted to find signs that brought back me to Mark and above all I wanted to engrave in the memory that place that belonged him.
Despite out did anchors warm, inside the house a pleasant coolness could be enjoyed; I was sorry some to have to dine out, but perhaps was more romantic!
We prepared the table while Stephen prepared an enormous mixed salad to the sight of which Laura whispered me,:
«If he/she also knows how to cook, I won't leave him/it to me to so easily escape. It is the man of my life.»
We sat there all on the lawn and we started to speak of the more and of the less, then Mark asked what we would have made next autumn.
It was Laura to answer:
«There are enrolled to the commercial technical institute, so if we didn't feel anymore later like continuing the school we would have a good title of study to find job however. I don't have a lot of desire to study but his/her parents care so much!»
«You are right!» it beat Stephen. «If it were for my parents, to this time I would be to work from some mason or in a factory because I was not at all intenzionato to continue the scholastic career. I am also now enough satisfied because in expectancy I would like to devote me to the sport and therefore I could enroll in the institute of physical education.»
«Is a good idea! To dir truth had also thought there me recently because you/they have told me that it is a good school in an amusing environment.»
«But thing you say Laura? If up to yesterday you would not even have liked to end the averages!»
All and three bursted to laugh and Laura cast me a fulminating glance; was surely thinking about something type" Traitress! I am trying to conquer him and you you make me make certain figures. Damn you!"
I turned me to Mark:
«And you that projects you have?»
«Once alumnus, believes that I will enroll me in architecture or engineering, considering that my father holds a lot us and would like to insert me in the organic one of his/her firm. I am fortunate because I have the insured job however as it regards the study I do him/it for myself. If architect or engineer I will become it will be alone because I have wanted him me and not because it was suitable to somebody else. My mother always tells me him: if you have to do something, fault first of all for yourself, the others will follow if they care to you.»
«Your mother is perfectly right.»
That two boys were still young people, playful, serene, but despite everything they had the clear ideas on thing you/they would have liked to do in expect
ancy. I was convinced that also Laura already had the clear ideas after this meeting; you/he/she would also be enrolled also in a course of Tibetan meditation to follow Stephen.
I, felt instead me empty. I didn't have the least idea of thing want to do" from great." Surely if I/you had not felt like risking me in the world of the university, my father would have helped me to find a place of employment in the firm of which you/he/she was partner but for me you/he/she was a matter of principle. All it takes is having a job and to earn him to live, needs also to be convinced and satisfied of what does him.
I felt me a free spirit and I didn't absolutely succeed in seeing me sat behind a desk for eight or more times per diem it sues to answer to the telephone, dattiloscrivere letters and to bring coffee the boss.
«You thing thinks about doing?» Mark asked in turn me.
«To dir the truth I don't know him/it yet. I don't have the least idea of thing I could do in expectancy. I have already chosen to attend this school to eventually have at least a diploma and power find a job, but I feel that my life is not this. I would like to be able to make a work that doesn't force me to always work in an office, within four boundaries and session to a desk. I would like to turn, to visit new places to be creative. The fact, however, is that I have not discovered a profession that has these requisite yet.»
«Some that is not easy, however it seems me that you have the clearest ideas of mine.»
«You say seriously? I feel me so confused!»
«But certain. You at
