41. NEW CHAPTER

Image
Sofia's ranch in Chestnut Ridge  welcomed Bastian with all the colors of autumn. After Sofia’s phone call, he came here immediately. Recent events required quick action, although Bas himself still didn’t know what he should say to his daughter, who had just been expelled from school. Sofia: I’m glad you came. Maybe you’ll be able to reach her. Bas: I don’t know… she didn’t really want to talk to me lately. Sofia: What happened at school really affected her. I’m worried about her , Bas . But… I don’t know how to talk to her. I don’t know how to help her. Maybe you’ll manage. Bas: Can I come in, Ollie? I heard what happened. You can talk to me about it. Olimpia: What’s the point? I can’t do anything about it anyway. Neither can you. I’m totally cooked… complete disaster. Guess I just have to accept it. Bas: Don’t say that. We all have our ups and downs. Olimpia: Not you… Bas: Me too. Olimpia: Everything always works out for you. Bas: That’s not true. A lot of things in my life didn’t...

Olimpia: Yep, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation.  Well, it all started on one nice autumn day… Baba O'Riley - The Who Out here in the fields I farm for my meals I get my back into my living I went to school, like always. Well, almost always. At least lately I’ve been attending pretty regularly. I don't need to fight I don't need to be forgiven Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Don't cry Don't raise your eye It's only teenage wasteland To prove I'm right This is Flamenco Caliente High School, named after a guy who burned bright in life and then went out in a dramatic blaze. Bright enough to be remembered. And here I am in this lovely institution—an average student with a complicated relationship with fire. Just don’t think too hard about the irony... *The build "Copperdale High School" is by SakuraLeon Everyone says it’s a very good school. A place full of passion, spark, the burning embers of young talent… Yeah, okay,...

39. IT WILL GET BETTER

Image
Laura hadn’t felt like herself for a long time after the recent events and the tragic deaths of their friends. It hit her hard and affected the way she behaved. With anxiety, she noticed mean streaks and nasty behavior in herself. This showed especially clearly during her recent clash with Ollie.   However, regular therapy sessions finally started to pay off, and Laura turned away from being mean. Though the past couldn’t be undone and her bond with Ollie seemed broken, at least there were no misunderstandings left between her and Bastian. Olimpia went to the ranch and still wasn’t talking to Bas, who had to swallow the bitter pill of another parenting failure. Sofia seemed to be handling things with Ollie better. He should really pull himself together and improve, because so far he hadn’t exactly shined as a father. And now he had three kids. Little Cyp turned out to be a very demanding baby. He didn’t want to sleep in the baby carrier either. Laura couldn’t do anything, every mom...
