Prologue:
"I... she... not...hear me."
I was gasping for air, she ran too fast.
I gulped in some water from the water fountain at the park.
Why did she have to see that? The card was for her... I was just practicing.... Ah this whole business of, why me? It was like a sort of bug that people got, and I had it to. It bit you and there was no remedy, no solution, and the only way to get rid of it, was to loose control, to let it take over you, and bang! It own you until you had to give in, until you were surrounded and surrender to this. And I had gotten it right at the same time, when that day of the year came, when the dance was coming...
"Ah," I sighed and sat by one of the benches. I remember her words.
So you are going to the dance with him. Her bitter words. I tried to speak. But she wouldn't hear. What is it to me? You can go with who ever you want...
"What did she say?"
"She thinks I am going to the dance with you." I said to Eli. Oskar try to cheer me up.
"Hey what about me? I am handsome right?" He said playfully sounding like if he was angry.
I held the card in my hand, the card for her.
"You already have someone. I pointed to Eli." I smiled. Well at least I had made two friends. I walked to the building that they lived in. I waved goodbye to them. As I walked home, I began to remember how I met them. Oskar and Eli my two strange friends who I only met at night...
