One day before school
A -
(Wake up)
Well... (sigh), tomorrow I start classes at a new school, I miss my friends so much but, all for the sake of Dad, this promotion at work will be good for us.
I hope it won't be hard for me to make friends, and I hope to find the school love that everyone talks about, just like Mom met Dad and fell deeply in love at first sight and are still together today, a love like that I want.
I guess it's time to get up...
- Annie, breakfast is ready! - shouted my mother thinking that I was still sleeping.
I'm going! - I answered.
(She gets up and goes to the mirror on her shelf)
(She looks at herself and sighs)
Why do I keep feeling this emptiness in my chest?
It hurts
Since I came here I have felt this pain ...
What is it due to?
I'll turn on the radio, maybe, listening to some music while I get ready to go down for breakfast will make me feel better.
(A song plays)
(She stops to listen to it)
(Adele's All I Ask sounds)
(At the end, the announcer says: "This song reminds me of the Japanese legend of the red thread, an invisible red thread connecting those who are destined to meet, no matter time, place or circumstances. The red thread can be stretched, collapse or tangled, but never broken").
Red thread?
What a strange thing, until now I don't know what love is about, much less how it feels to like someone.
(Goes downstairs to the kitchen)
Good morning! - I greeted my mom.
- Good morning Annie! - replied my mother, while she gave me a kiss on the forehead.
(Sits down to breakfast)
(She leans on her left arm while she eats and thinks)
At my young age of fifteen, I have never fallen in love with anyone, if they have proposed to me, but I have never known how to correspond to.
Is there something wrong with me?
Why can't I fall in love until now?
- Annie, shall we go shopping later? So that tomorrow on your first day at your new school you can go with new clothes - my mom said, bringing me to reality.
Sure! I'd love to, Mom - I replied enthusiastically.
(In the afternoon on the way to the mall)
(In the car)
- Annie, do you already have any idea what to buy? - my mom asked, breaking the ice.
Not really, but, I hope to find nice things - I answered with a smile.
(They park the car)
Let's go over here mom! - I said showing him the way.
- I'm following you - she replied.
(Walks distracted)
(Bumps into someone)
Excuse me! - I exclaimed sorry for my distraction.
- Don't worry - said a female voice as she gathered her things.
I'll help you! - I said trying to remedy my clumsiness.
- It's okay, don't worry... - she said as she raised her face to look at me.
She smiled.
(Thoughts)
How beautiful she is, those honey-colored eyes, those lips, that perfect smile...
I was just shocked to see it.
- Thank you... - she said, taking me out of my thoughts.
Again, excuse me - I said as I blushed.
- Seriously, no problem, it happens to anyone - she replied, as while she gave me another of her smiles.
+ Annie! Are you okay? - asked my worried mom.
Yes... - I answered embarrassed.
- Well... I have to go, nice to meet you Annie... - mentioned the girl with the beautiful smile as she said goodbye.
Equally! - I answered without even asking her name.
(The shopping is over)
(The road home was quiet, but she was thinking about the girl she ran into)
(Already at home)
I'll go to my room - I told my mother.
(She throws herself on her bed in a star shape)
What will be the name of the girl I met today?
Why does she intrigue me so much?
I must stop thinking about her, tomorrow will be my first day of school.
But...
I hope to see her again...
(sigh)

D -
(She is awake, but with the room totally dark, the black curtains did not allow the sun to peek out)
(Sigh)
(Look at the ceiling)
(Thoughts)
Great... tomorrow starts my junior year at school and from there, college.
I still have to put up with those idiots for a long time.
I haven't even been able to find someone to enjoy high school with...
How lonely my time at school has been, although I have friends, it is not as if they complete this emptiness in my chest... We don't share the same tastes either, I don't even know how we are friends.
I hope to meet new people, who can return light and bearable these two years that I have left.
(She stretches and snaps her fingers)
(Knock on the door)
Yes?
- Danna, I'm going to work, don't forget to have breakfast - said my mother.
Don't worry, I'll have breakfast and in the afternoon I'll go out for lunch and go shopping with Tamara - I answered.
- Okay, say hi to Tamara for me - she replied as she walked away.
(She sits on her bed)
Well... I'll take a shower, but first, I'll put on some music.
(Turns on the radio)
(A song plays)
(Adele's All I Ask sounds)
(She stops to listen)
That song is really deep...
(At the end, the announcer says: "This song reminds me of the Japanese legend of the red thread, an invisible red thread connecting those who are destined to meet, no matter time, place or circumstances. The red thread can be stretched, collapse or tangled, but never broken").
(Red thread?)
What a curious legend, I wonder if it's true... if it is, I would be connected to someone...
I wish it was true...
(Comes out of the shower)
There's nothing like a good bath at the start of the day!
(Goes to the kitchen)
(Opens the refrigerator)
Let's see...
Great! It will be scrambled eggs with bacon and strawberry juice.
(The day passes and the evening arrives)
(The cell phone rings)
- Danna? - asks Tamara.
Yes, hello - I answered.
- Will you pick me up for go to lunch? - she asks.
Yes, I'm about to leave, I'll start the car - I answered.
- Okay, I'll wait for you - she answered.
(She picks up Tamara and they go to the mall)
Do you think if each one buys her things and we meet here in an hour to go to lunch? - I proposed to Tamara.
- Sounds good to me - she replied.
(Each one goes their own way)
(In just enough time, Danna rushes to meet Tamara)
(Bumps into someone)
- Excuse me! - exclaimed the girl, saddened by her distraction.
Don't worry - I replied saddened by my clumsiness.
- I'll help you! - she said as she picked up the packages that I had dropped.
It's all right, don't worry... - I said while raising my face to see her.
I smiled.
(Thoughts)
She is very pretty, she has beautiful blue eyes, as blue as the sea; those lips...
I can't see her in her eyes for long...
She has a beautiful face...
I hope I'm not blushing because of nerves.
(Coming back to reality)
Thank you... - I managed to tell her.
- Again, excuse me - she said as she noticed her blushing.
Seriously, it's okay, it happens to anyone - I replied, because I knew that I was the clumsy one, so I smiled.
+ Annie! Are you okay? - asked a very worried lady.
- Yes... - she answered.
Well... I'm leaving, nice to meet you Annie... - I said goodbye, while smiling because I could know your name.
- Equally! - she answered, although she didn't ask my name.
(She goes to meet her with Tamara)
-Are you all right? You look a bit disheveled - asked Tamara as soon as she saw me.
Yes, I bumped into a girl, but it's nothing - I answered.
- Who is she? I'll go tell her a couple of things - she said annoyed, her eyes were exalted.
Don't bother, you get mad too fast to be my best friend - I said, trying to calm her unnecessary anger.
- I'm sorry, I guess I'm overreacted - Tamara replied.
It's okay, let's go to lunch, I'm starving - I smiled.
(We had lunch)
(We each return to our houses)
I arrived! - I exclaimed, waiting for an answer.
- Hello! How did it go? - asked Mom.
Well, it was a good day - I answered with an unexplainable smile from ear to ear.
- That's good! - replied Mom.
I'll go to my room, come downstairs later to watch movies together - I proposed to Mom.
- That sounds perfect, I'll go to make some snacks for later - she said.
(Already in her room)
(Close the door)
Why did I blush when I saw that girl?
It's never happened to me before, but she's so pretty...
(Blushing)
(Tapping the cheeks)
No Danna, these things don't happen to you, least of all with a girl...
Or do you?
It's just... she's too pretty to pass up the opportunity to think about her...
Anyway, I won't see her again...
(Sigh)
Annie...
What a beautiful name you have
(His eyes shine with happiness)
I hope to see you again...
