-Hi, I'm Ian.
-Yes, I know.
-And you're Leela, right?
-Yes, I am.
-Okay, I smiled. - Can I sit at your table?
-Eh...yes. -and he sat across the hall. - Won't you eat? - I looked at the empty table in front of him.
-I wasn't hungry yet.
-I see. -I started to eat.
-Tasty?
-Yes, do you want to? - He smiled.
-No, you're eating.
-Okay. And I kept eating. Soon the bell rang.
-We have a lesson together now, can I walk you out?
-Of course, we are on our way. - and we went to class. After Ian's lesson, Janie showed up somewhere.
-I didn't think you could do it!
-Yes, I am not capable.
-Then, what was it in the dining room?
-He came up to me himself.
-It was fantastic! He himself... I have no words!
-That's right. After school, I went home. I left school and someone called me out. I turned around.
-Ian?
-Yes, I did.
-Did you take time off from school?
-I can say so, too.
-Did you want something?
-Yes... I wanted to ask...
-Well, ask.
-Can I walk you home?
-E...I live a long way.
-I can give you a ride in a car.
-I prefer to walk.
-Well, then we'll walk. May I?
-If you want... - I didn't know what else to say.
-Can we do that?
-Yes, but... why? - Really, why did I ask that question, honestly, I wanted him to walk me out.
-Well...I just want to walk you out.
-Well... if you want to, let's go. - and we went. On the way home, we talked about school, interests, etc. - We came.
-Yes... for now?
-Bye...
-I'll see you at school tomorrow?
-Of course. And I smiled.
-Tomorrow.
-Yes, I went to the side of the house, looked again at Ian, who was still watching me, smiled at him and walked into the house.
Tonight was the first time I had a dream about Ian. In a dream, he held my hand and looked at me with such a gentle look that I felt so warm...
I got up in the morning, got ready and went to school. Today I got to school faster than usual, I wanted to see Ian more quickly. The weather today was wonderful - the sun was shining, it was so warm and pleasant... I came to school, but Ian wasn't there. He didn't come even after the first lesson and after the second and third one - he didn't come at all! So hurt...no! I won't be offended - it's stupid! How can you be offended because of the fact that there is no such thing? Who is he to me? We are not even friends! Well, yes, I did, but it doesn't mean anything...or does it mean? I was already confused!
-Lil, what is going on with you? - Janie asked me after I didn't want to eat for lunch.
-What are you talking about?
-Look at you, you don't have a face on you, and you don't eat.
-It's just not in the mood...
-But it's not like it always is.
-Don't pay attention...
-You're my best friend! How can I ignore all this?
-I'm sorry, it's hard...
-Oh, okay. You don't want to talk now, then you'll tell me, right?
-Yes, that's right. It will be better this way.
-Well, I won't wait much.
After school I went home, I walked slowly and without any desire. It seems that the weather also sympathizes with me - it was going to rain. Here comes my house. Ian? He was standing outside my house.
-What was that? - I said.
-Hello! What is it?
-You show up, you disappear! I don't know when you'll disappear again or show up!
-I'm sorry, I didn't think about it. And it doesn't depend on me!
-And from whom? I'm sorry, you don't have to say anything, you don't owe me anything. I'm sorry.
-No, nothing. I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have disappeared so abruptly. But, alas, I can't foresee anything.
-Yes...nothing. And... actually, why did you come here?
-I...wanted to see you...-I smiled and looked at Ian, and he saw my smile and smiled back at me.
-I am... pleased to hear it. - I looked at him again, and he smiled with an even wider smile. I started to drip rain.
-Can we go and sit in my car?
-Yes, that's right. - I smiled and we went to his car. Can I ask what you were doing today instead of school?
-Well, I was walking in the woods...
-What? -What? -Was he walking in the woods instead of school? - My words were a bit sarcastic.
-Sometimes it was useful.
-Yes, maybe it is. - I looked out the window. - It looks like the rain is only going to get worse, I have to go before it's too late...
-Yes, of course. - I reached for the handle, but Ian grabbed me by the other hand, and even though his hand was very cold, I felt good about touching him. I looked at him.
- Look..." he said.
-Yes, I did.
-If I didn't come to school tomorrow, or whatever day I came, know I wanted to come, just...
-I know it's not up to you.
-Yes.
-I will wait. - We smiled at each other, and I got out of the car, and then I ran to the house before I got wet.
Then I walked up to the window and looked at where Ian's car used to be, but I didn't see it. How did he get away so quickly? I was bewildered. And then I went to do my own thing, though I was haunted by the thoughts of Ian everywhere. I had the same dream tonight, but this time Ian wanted to say something important to me that would turn my life around. What did he want to tell me? I was just thinking. And then I realized it was just a dream and decided not to bother. I couldn't have had any more dreams, could I?
