1 The beginning of a friendship.

One day at Alice house, a 17-year-old girl wakes up to go to secondary school, her mother, Mrs. Elisabe, who is preparing breakfast, worries that Alice has not come down.

-That weird .. Alice hasn't come down, could she fall asleep? says the worried mother.

Mrs. Elisabe goes upstairs and is heading towards Alice's room when Mrs. Elisabe started to knock on the door.

-Hello mom -she says with a smile- is something wrong?

-I thought you had fallen asleep and went up to see.

-"Well that's fine, but the one who fell asleep was someone else." He points to his older brother's room.

-I'll see, your down for breakfast that will be done later.

Elisabe knocks on Henry's door.

-I'm going ...- says the boy and opens- what's up mom?

-Breakfast is ready -he helps him with his tie- ready ...

-Thanks mom, I'm going down to eat.

Elisabe goes down to the dining room and there is this Alice and her husband Daniel, then Henry comes down and they get ready to eat. The house bell rings announcing that someone has arrived, Elisabe goes to the door, and when it opens.

-"Hi mom," -says the girl-.

-daughter!? What are you doing here? you weren't in Spain? -Very happy for the arrival of your daughter- hello Alex -greet your daughter's boyfriend-

<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">-hello madam nice to see you again -smile-

-anyway Alex -smiles- but don't stand still, come on come -He stands aside for them to enter-.

The three enter and when they arrive at the dining room. Alice saw her sister after such a long time, quickly found herself standing and runs towards her to hug her.

-"I missed you a lot, sister," -says Alice sobs-.

-"I also miss you a lot Alice" -he hugs her-.

-sister, how long has it been since you left? -said the older brother approaching her and hugs her- hello Alex

-my dear daughter has returned -said the father-

-But sit down -says Elisabe- Alice is going to be late and you too Henry.

Everyone is ready to eat.

Alice finishes eating and says goodbye to everyone, leaves the house with her brother who will take her to high school, they arrive and Alice gets out of the car.

-"Take care, brother," -she smiles at him.-

-You too, see you later.

Alice goes to her living room and through the corridors, she meets her best friend Bryan

-"Hi Bryan," -Alice says with a big smile-.

-Hello Alice -he smiles- let's go to the classroom and the teacher is almost there

The boys sit in their seats and a boy approaches Alice, he is madly in love with her and he would do anything to have her by his side.

-"Alice, you were a little late," -Matthew says, looking into her eyes-.

-What happens is my sister came from her trip and I stayed talking with her for a while.

After a few minutes, the teacher arrives and begins to give the class, but the director enters.

-Excuse me, a professor there is something I have to tell you -see them all-good morning everyone, I present to you your new partner, what is his name?

-My name is Max -she says something sad-

-well max sit down and have a good day -the director leaves-

He sat down next to Alice. The two did not speak to each other and neither did they exchange glances until the end of class. Alice was walking towards her house, but she feels that someone is following her and when she turns she sees that it was Max, she quickens her pace, but Max did not dare to do anything. Minutes after seeing her house in the distance and she turns again but Max is already on the other side of the street, when Alice goes to enter her house she sees that Max enters the house across the street.

-what! We're neighbors!?.

Alice went to her room. Meanwhile, at Max's house, he is in his room and hears a knock on the door but he doesn't open it because he already knows who it is.

-I want to be alone

-"Son please ..." -says his sad mother-.

-Really mom, leave me alone, oh, it seems little to you to see dad run from the house

-when will be the day you forgive me ...

-I don't know -he says between teeth with great sadness since he does love his mother- leave me alone, please

At Alice's house, she was also in her room and her sister enters.

-Alice, what do you think if we go to the park?

-sure -smile- just let me finish the task and we go

Alice finished the task and went with her sister to the park

It was already 11:42 pm Henry came home from work and sees that everyone is sleeping so he just went to his room and when he came in he fell on the bed and fell asleep.

The next day Alice wakes up and sees that she has two messages, one from Matthew and the other from Bryan, the first said "I hope and you liked the chocolates" and Bryan's said "I hope to see you today Alice" she smiles and goes to while downstairs the bell rings and Elisabe opens and it was Max.

-Hello good morning is Alice ?.

-Yes, wait here, I'll look for it ...

Elisabe called Alice and when she comes to the door and sees that it is Max.

-Max, what are you doing here? ...

-Yesterday I saw that we are neighbors and I came to see if you want to go with me

-Okay -Give him a smile- wait for me here ....

Alice went for her backpack and went down to the living room to go with Max

-How did I not see before that we were neighbors? -said Alice-

-I just arrived today that's why we hadn't seen each other

-oooh ok ok -see it- I hope we are good friends -he smiles-

Max next to her did not feel so sad so he just smiled

They were walking while they talked about them, they were getting to know each other, I spent a while and they arrived at the secondary school and went straight to their classroom.

-Alice! - shouts Matthew approaching her - did you get my message?

-I did read it in the morning -he smiles, looks for Bryan with his eyes, and realizes that he has not arrived-

-Alice the teacher arrived -said Max-

-Yes ... let's sit down -she sits next to Max-

-Alice, what do you think if I buy you an ice cream today? -said Matthew-

-I would like to but I must get home early today

Bryan enters the room and quickly sits down

-because you were late? -Alice asks him-.

-I fell asleep -laugh-

the teacher begins to teach the class

-Well, guys, they should form teams of 4 and make a report on everything related to today's class .....- the teacher picks up his things- see you guys

-It could be the 4 of us -says Bryan-

-It's fine for me -said Alice- Max you are with us

-ok you tell me what I should do -answers Max-

-Well if you want we can do the homework at my house -Matthew says-

-oooh yes good idea Matthew ... well guys time to go to the cafeteria

The four of them went to the cafeteria to talk a little about themselves and get to know Max more.
