The Adventure started (S1 Ep2-10)

Dear Diary,

I feel like I'm in a mess, if you can imagine a mess in a way, strangely, good! Because a few have been the hours of rest that I could enjoy tonight. I got up early to continue the work. At the middle of the morning, I went to my shift at the Fair. At lunchtime, I was home waiting for Joan’s shift finish to her join me in the accessories production, however, and despite the exhaustion, I felt good about the work I was doing. I could barely contain myself waiting for Joan, I wanted her to see the progress I had made, I needed a perspective beyond mine...

Rose: Joan, you here!

Joan: And I have the material you ask for. Make a list of everything you already produced and what lack to produce. Check if the material that I brought is all you need, please. We’re just a few days to the fashion show and nothing can be to chance.

Rose: I already have the lists made, Joan. If you have the material list I gave you, I confirm if anything's missing.

Joan: OK! Great.

Rose: What's wrong? I'm the one usually nervous, but today I think you are more!

Joan: No, I'm not nervous, just anxious. Tomorrow I won't be able to come, don't be upset, ok?

Rose: Of course not! It's everything okay? You've been a little different these past weeks.

Joan: I have a few doubts that I need to clear it out, so I'm going tomorrow after school to the library.

Rose: Do what you have to do! I’ll do the most I can, but please, please don't miss Friday. I need you there.

Joan: I'll be there, it's a promise…

Joan's very mysterious, I can see the effort she makes to keep serenity, yet her eyes don't lie. I don't know what's going on because she won't tell me. She never kept secrets from me, which makes me a little worried. I want to ask her what's going on in a more direct way, but I can't help feeling that she needs her own time to talk about whatever's bothering her.

Sometimes I find myself thinking "she might want to give up our project. Maybe she has other plans for the summer and is afraid to tell me." – One thought that pass thru my mind so many times as I saw her like today. If this was the reason of her state I had to tell her it was okay, not to worry, it was an amazing month, I loved being involved in this kind of work and, even it was intense, it was worthy…

Open the Ball with a fashion show has been a challenge. It was a long couple of weeks, the laborious kind. Joan’s support was very important to me, but we're in the finishing line and I couldn't hide my excitement with the results, maybe that's why Joan would be expecting to spend the Ball day to tell me what is making she lose her sleep. If with the end of the school year would come too the end of our partnership in this little adventure I would still be grateful to her for the encouragement, for the challenges, for her friendship!
