CHAPTER 1
"BOUT OF A DREAM"
"That dummy dickhead ..." Reve thought while he was going to get Ipno "He had to break that junk he calls motorbike just yesterday ... as if I wasn't busy enough to take him up..." rigth at that moment he turned the corner of the street where his friend's house was. Ipno was there, right where he had told him he would find
"What a odd boy " thought Reve as he approached, despite his skinny body, he hid a spirit and tenacity worthy of a lion
"Hey do you need a ride baby ?!" "Rather than accepting a ride from an asshole like you I prefer to do 100 km on one leg" said Ipno as he got into the car "Hi ... thanks... I wouldn't have known how to do.... bro"
"What about buses, you know. those big cars that people use to go somewhere ... "
Reve replied as they headed for the university. The journey from Ipno's house to university wasn't that long, but Ipno was the kind of person that saying lazy meant offending laziness in person, but he was his best friend and then that afternoon was on the road, so that passage didn't it would cost him nothing. The parking of the art history faculty was unusually full, the places in the shadow of the trees or under the few canopies of the students were already all occupied, so Reve parked the car in the first free parking he found.
"I know... I know... I had to checked it, but I had a lot of things to do and... I didn't have time to ..." Tip said to Hy as they got out of the car "You didn't have time!? Are you bullshitting me? You talk throuth your hat!!! I'm telling you since two months to take the car to the mechanic and here is the result! " "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!!! What can I do to be forgiven?" said as they walked to the recording stand.
The registration line snaked along the steps and for at least half of the path leading to the registration's stand; Gear was late as usual, like a crazy running slalom between one student and another
"And now where do I go?"
Thought to himself, looking left and then right, but he didn't see the step where he tripped, and if it were not for his proverbial balance and thanks to the arm of the poor unfortunate who was standing in front of him, he would be ruinously collapsed to the ground.
The geek in question was Ipno who, in order not to fall, too clung to Tip's shirt, which was in front of him, tearing the sleeve.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!!! It's not my fault, it's the fault of that boy who is runing away ... I'm so sorry ..." he said to Tip seeing that he had turned around with a hostile expression painted on his face. Hy also turned to give a strong to his best friend, but his gaze fell on Reve, who was next to Ipno, on the white skin of his face, a face that was beautiful beyond all limits, beautiful as he had never seen before, but what made him breathless for a moment were his eyes.
Blue, blue like the cornflower, like the deepest sea, an ocean in which getting lost was sweet and irresistible even if only for a moment, and it was just for a moment that he felt his soul vibrate violently, so he could not help but look away.
"That asshole didn't even stop to apologize ..." Ipno thought while Reve took him home, as he went up the stairs, entered the room, and spawl into his chair "But what kind of person can be someone who doesn't he apologizes after running into you and ... that anger ... I swear if I see him ..."
After taking back Ipno, Reve returns to his room, throws his backpack into a corner, and without even undressing he loosen himself up on the bed, exhausted, and falls asleep deeply for the first time in a long time and begins to dream.
He is playing his beloved violin on a wonderful pearl beach, in the shadow of a large palm tree, while looking at the calm and beautiful ocean; all of a sudden a snake approaches him, and stops in front of him, looks at him still while reve continues to play. When Reve ends the snake wraps him in its coils and ... he wakes up out of breath, the sweat runs down his back and beading his forehead ... but what he feels is not fear, suffocation as it should be, but more a feeling of peace, harmony, joy ... a shy smile spreads across his face.
After the recording, Hy takes Tip, who seems happy as an clam, home, in fact he continues to talk about how happy he is to have finally met so many girls all together, how at the art history faculty the girls are so cute, cool and damn sexy. Hy listens to him, but without hearing, those speeches are of little interest to him, he continues to think about the encounter or rather the clash with Ipno, but above all at the eyes of the boy who was close to him.
"What are you going to do?" suddenly said Hy "What? Do what?" Tip surprised "What are you going to do about that shirt?" "I'll throw it, what else can I do for you" said Tip looking at his friend even more incredulous "You don't want to let him get away with it ... a shirt is a shirt ok, but that's not how this works !!!" Hy press more and more annoyed "Come on calm take it easy bro ... it's just a shirt and then it's not even his fault ... at most who should apologise is that guy who hasn't even stopped, don't you think?" Tip said smiling "It will be ..." Hy answered him with gaze fixed on the road.
Finally at home, Hy takes a long revitalize shower, a quick dinner and then sits on the bed, leaned back against the headboard of the bed, leaning on the pillow, with the physics book in hand, he begins to study, but his gaze remains fixed on the first page, his mind is trapped by a single thought
"That boy ... those eyes ..."
He closes the book, it would have been a waste of time, so puts it on the bedside table and turns off the light. Unlike usual, he is enveloped in a deep, heavy sleep and begins to dream. He is swimming in a turquoise sea, the crystalline water that surrounds him makes him feel as light as ever, and a feeling of tranquility spreads throughout his body. Excited by this sensation, he swims among fish and corals, but after a while he begins to hear a strange sound ...
"What is it?!" ... "it sounds like a violin ... but it can't be ...I'm underwater!!! How is that possible!?"
All of a sudden a snake envelops him and Hy begins to squirm to free himself, in vain, because the coils of the snake are getting tighter and tighter and ... he wakes up with a strange sense of heat throughout his body ... a feeling of peace like that of the dream, a feeling of bliss as he hadn't felt for a long time ... a strange but wonderful warmth that came from his heart and took his whole body.
Finally Gear comes home, throws his backpack on the sofa and hungry sits at the table, his sister Iris is finishing cooking
"What smell! Uhmmm I'm really hungry!" "Sit down and it'll be done soon" replies Iris "how did it get today?" she asks her brother "Well nothing special ... I registered, I wander around the stands of clubs, but I don't know which one subscribe ... " " Why don't you subscribe to the cooking course, after all you are a good gourmet, aren't you!? " "You know it's not a bad idea at all my big sis ... even if no one is ever top chef like you!" "My little brother ..." says Iris rubbing Gear's hair "... so quiet day ... " Iris continues sitting at the table "Yes, don't worry ... except that at a certain point I droped against someone in line for the recording, because I didn't see a step ... he in order not to fall down, hung on the arm of who was in front of him and tore off his shirt sleeve ... ahahah " " What ... sorry and then what happened? You got the numbers so we can buy him a new shirt and apologize properly!?" "No I was too late ... and then it's not me who tore his shirt ..." "You are really ..." "Come on big sis ... don't do that! Come on, come on ..."
Gear looked Iris with the sweetest eyes he could, as a shy and wet duckling on a dark rainy day, knew very well that his sister couldn't resist that look and in fact Iris shook his head and smiled
"Promise me that if you meet one of the two boys that you invested you apologize and you get the numbers!? Promise me! " "Ok big boss! I promise! I swear!"
