Friends Day (S1 Ep.17-13)

Thursday, February 13

This week started in the best possible way, with all of us together. At the end of Sunday we had about two hundred and five Valentine's day postcards, made by us. On Monday we fill the form of the palace garden reservation and I took to mom the term of warranty. On Tuesday we got the confirmation, we did the payment and had the first meeting with the maintenance crew. Yesterday, Wednesday, we reviewed the invitations and posters made by Sofie and Charlie, we opened the box office and we had a second meeting with the maintenance crew.

Today is Thursday, will be a day also filled, but we had a lot to celebrate too. Being the third Thursday before Carnival, here in the region we celebrate the Friends Day and as usual the lunch of this day is special. We chose the KoffyBreak this year, not only as a thank you, as well as for other reasons. Since I found this space last year, I felt a good connection, the girls and I have great memories of our evenings here last summer.

We started the day early in school, where the distribution of Valentine's day cards, letters and Gifts already started since the beginning of the week. At the end of the day is done the collecting of all scattered mailboxes in the halls and on the morning after its delivery. Honestly, normally, we're excited to see who received what and from who. However this year and despite the full weekend that I would have to pass on "Lovers" them, it was not an issue that I'd like to think about.

Dianne: Our little Rose received a box of chocolates and a letter.

Monic: A secret love! Hum...

Joan: From whom? – Her clumsy smile did not hide the fear I saw in her eyes. Feared it could be from Mikhael.

Rose: I don't know, I didn't open it. It's probably the same person who sent the chocolate hearts. Clearly doesn't know me, much less in love it is.

Joan: In fact, who knows you knows that you can't eat that. - Suddenly became a little more relieved.

Monic: You didn’t get curious?

Rose: Honestly? I didn't. I don't have time for little flirtations, some things are more important.

Dianne: I'd say equally important. – Said, beaming, looking at the stuffed animal that received from Mario.

Rose: well, let's not spoil your romance. – I uttered smiling tenderly to her Teddy bear. – Let’s ordered lunch, ladies?! We still have to pass the City Hall, today it begins the building. I can't thank you enough.

Joan: Your friendship is the best gift that we could have.

Monic: Make of yours my words. A toast to the Friends Day.

The situation between me and Joan have not been very good, but her words were right to the heart and if I didn't cry by the letter nor by the gift I received was now about to do it.

Each of the girls were a part of me, we grew so much together, we spend incredible moments, we had our discussions and we always find our way back. In bad times, we supported each other and together we discovered a solution… Their friendships were definitely a gift.

Today we celebrated Friends Day and the achievement that together we have achieved. And together we were about to take a giant step. We were new and full of dreams, but soon learned the cost of work and dedication to achieving them. We were united for life, all knew it and accept it before knowing the real reason that brought us this far and that kept us in search of each other.

After a busy day, I was eager to get to the bed, pet Kat and give in to sleep. But before I could do it I found myself looking at the letter on top of the box of chocolates and wondering why I haven't had them thrown out.

The box of chocolates didn't have the usual wrapper, certainly was a prank. Put it in the trash without even open it. I was going to do the same with the letter... Instead, I sat up in bed to read it…
