Sophia is a happy-go-lucky girl. A 14 year old girl who's in third year high school. Sophia is a great singer, a good student, a loving daughter, sister and friend. She loves to experiment in the kitchen and to read books.
"Another day to go to school.", she said as she got up from bed, did her morning rituals and went on her way. She arrived in school, said hi to the guards, teachers, friends and classmates. She was on her way to the cafeteria when she bumped into someone. Someone whom she never had the chance to talk to. They've been in the same school for quite some time but they never really got to talk. They didn't even know each other's name.
"Sorry", said Sophia. "Sorry", responded the guy. They went on their way after apologizing.
The guy Sophia bumped into was Nico. Nico is a freshman in her school. Nico is a tall, charming, messy haired boy. He has never talked to Sophia, neither did Sophia. They didn't know each other. They didn't even know each other's names.
Their school authorities had a crazy idea for the month of October. All the high school students were called and gathered in a room. Sophia and Nico were, of course, included. They recognized each other as someone they bumped into this morning, but they went to their seats, not even saying a single word, not even a "Hi" or a "Hello" or "Sorry about this morning". Nothing at all.
One of the teachers greeted them and they responded, here's the crazy idea: They're supposed to have a partner from other class, other level. They, freshmen and sophomores were not included, were supposed to write their e-mail addresses and their phone numbers in a sheet of paper and put it in a bowl where the other students would pick and whoever picks who, they'll be partners for the whole October. Everyone dropped their papers in the glass bowl. Each level had a separate bowl for their class.
The freshmen, Nico; included, were to pick first. The other levels were asked to leave the room for a moment. The freshmen were asked to pick a paper from the bowl of the juniors. Then the freshmen were asked to leave the room, the sophomores came in and they were asked to pick from the bowl of the seniors.
Some of the freshmen had a partner, some didn't. Same goes for the sophomores. The ones who didn't get a partner called themselves lucky. Who picked who? No one knew, except them alone.
They had the person's e-mail addresses and phone numbers but had no idea who it was, for some reasons, students of this school never get the chance to be close to each other. Except for their classmates.
To be continued. :)
Because if I post the whole story tonight, you might not want to visit my blog anymore. JK.
