It's Friday, a few days have passed since Mike's training with Woden and he's already fully recovered. Friday is the best day for most people. The day you can celebrate, drink and get drunk, party and anything else you want. for young people like Mike it's a great day to drink, party and hook up with some girl. And that's what Mike expects from today. There is an expectation that Jessica will be at the same party.

Mike gets up and prepares his breakfast by himself. His mother doing night shifts often made Mike interested in learning how to cook for himself. He takes the eggs, bacon and yogurt from the fridge to prepare them. His mother is still in the hospital. Likely the two won't see each other today, but Mike doesn't care. He knows the sacrifice his mother has to make for them to have the life she has. He even feels bad that later he will be partying while his mother will be working.

The boy packs his suitcase, puts his clothes, notebook, towel and other utensils. He takes out his cell phone and sees what classes he will take today. There will be economics class only. So his day will be lighter. Only College and Woden. Mike tries to reason with him to release him earlier or go easy on practice so he can go to the party. He couldn't talk to him that time. He lacked courage, but today he cannot postpone it any longer.

Mike hops on his bike and heads towards his college. These are ordinary days. And these days must be valued in his measure. He sees Jason again. As always his best friend is hilarious. He addresses Mike saying:

What's up, Mike? Today we will have class together! Now you will have the help of a genius! You? A genius ? Yes! There is no doubt about it! You are dumber than a door! What ? hahahaha Anyway… I won't waste time trying to prove my genius! Okay… What do you want to talk about? Well… I got strong information! My source is trustworthy! He asked me to keep it a secret. Hurry up and talk! Jessica is going to the party on Friday! Do you know what that means? It means nothing. We're just going to be in the same environment. It's your chance, my dear! I know what you mean haha.

The two walk together to the building where today's classes will be held. Amazing that Jason always manages to use the right words for Mike. His joy and the way he talked to his best friend positively changed his day. A few moments ago, Mike was having breakfast alone without his mother who was at work. Meeting Jason gave Mike an injection of excitement.

Both are so distracted talking and laughing in the middle of the morning that they walk together and trip over each other to enter the room. The two make a strange face at each other. They exchange suspicious looks. Mike tilts his head a little to the side and says:

Wait a second! Will you take this economics class too? Yes! Why didn't you tell me anything? I should be asking that. You've had several days to tell me! It does not matter! Let's go inside. Let 's go.

Friends will have this class together, Mike will not be alone at least or flying classes. Last time he had Jessica's company, but today he won't at least. He looks around the room and doesn't see the girl. Lightning does not strike the same place twice. He has to work with what he has. Both clench their fists and touch each other's hands. This time Mike will not sit in the back of the room but more in the middle of it.

The two sit down and Mike turns to take his laptop out of his backpack, he turns a little and feels a strong chill, this feeling is known to the boy. He's felt it twice before. One in the parking lot and one after Woden's practice in that alley. After all, he was a cat, but inside the classroom there was no cat. Mike turns to have a full view of the room to the back and his eyes meet a girl. Who is she ? Mike opens his eyes immediately and recognizes that it's the girl who was watching him at basketball practice.

The boys are looking at each other. Mike is startled by the intimidating impression of the captivating beauty girl. The boy picks up the laptop and turns towards the living room board. He thinks he's sick or something, his senses are heightened, but he doesn't find anything that poses danger or explains these chills.

The question lingers in his head, but Mike decides to let it go and conclude that this is Woden's training fault. That left his senses too sharp. The boy is lost in his thoughts, until Jason nudges him on the shoulder, which makes him lose concentration.

Hey Mike! What was it ? Nothing. Say it! Well… There's a girl back there… The prettiest one you'll ever see… She was at basketball practice and now she's here again… I feel like she's watching me. What ? You the lord of ugliness? - Jason is incredulous that a girl would interest his friend so strongly. He and Mike are nothing special. He turns around to look for that girl. Jason sees her and is immediately startled. Did you see ? Did you feel the same way I did? - Mike noticed that his friend Jason probably felt the shiver too and that maybe he wasn't crazy. That woman is too beautiful to be interested in you! Maybe you have a better chance with her than Jessica if she's really interested. Yes, maybe… - Mike is disappointed, his idiot friend was just scared by the beauty of the girl who was watching him. There are no conspiracy theories or anything like that. That hypothesis ends here. Even after looking at her… She kept looking in our direction! Did you see those eyes? Terrifying. True, man! You know her ? I've never seen her around here! No idea. I thought she was from another college yesterday! She has Asian traits… Maybe she's an exchange student. It might be…

As Mike and Jason whisper about the girl behind them, the professor who will teach the economics class arrives in the classroom. Getting both of them to stop talking about it and pausing for now. The economics class starts with this new teacher.

An hour after class started. Mike is still apprehensive about the girl who has been sitting behind him and watching him since basketball practice. He hasn't looked back since the beginning of class. The boy decides to go out of his way to get something in his backpack so he can get an excuse to aim in the direction of the unknown girl. And so he does. The girl is looking straight into your eyes with captivating beauty. Why this interest in me? Only time will tell. Mike thinks maybe he should talk to her anyway.

The bell that signals the end of class rings. As it is Friday the students are eager to leave for their respective homes or bars or anywhere else to have fun. You can only hear the noise of the material being arranged and placed inside the backpack. Mike, who is also a normal kid, does the same too.

Hey Mike! I'm going ahead! I have to speak to Professor McMahon. Our! Good luck then!

Jason says goodbye to his friend and rushes out of the classroom. Mike doesn't really like being in a hurry to get his stuff done, so he puts his school supplies in his backpack slowly. Most of the students have already left the room. Mike puts his luggage on his back and walks towards the exit door. When he feels a light touch on his right shoulder. He turns back scared and sees that it's the mysterious girl. Her presence went unnoticed. The boy thought she had left the room. He didn't feel like there was anyone behind him anymore and that he was the last in the room. He was very wrong. The girl was still there. Long black hair, Asian face and brown eyes. The young man's heart flutters for a moment.

You are Mike, right? Yes it 's me. What do you want ?

Mike asks this in a modest way, but this question goes much further. He was taken by surprise as he had his guard down. Talking to her now can put an end to doubts and suspicions about her about her chills.

Mike, I am a huge fan of your basketball. Even if you are not a starter, you have a fundamental role in the team on the court. In rotation and intensity. If possible I would like to do an interview for the college newspaper… College newspaper? Yes, I write for the newspaper! And I would like to do an interview with you, the team and the coach… Understand. Yes, let's schedule it next week! By the way, my name is Sylvia!

The girl Mike suspected a few moments ago of being responsible for his chills was just a regular journalism student. She was interested in him because of a story for the school newspaper. Now that he knows the whole truth. A sadness hits for a moment. Mike was paranoid for a few moments and the girl wasn't interested in him in the way he wanted, namely, loving.

Sylvia reaches out her hand with the intention of greeting Mike in front of her, this whole moment she was showing a very wide smile and an unparalleled sympathy. The boy doesn't believe he thought such a nice girl would hurt him. Mike notices that she is wearing a very expensive watch.

It's not very common for students. A rolex. A Swiss watch that costs a lot. Maybe her parents gave it away but she also had a Louis Vuitton bag, another very expensive utensil. No doubt very rich. Sylvia continues to smile, squeezing Mike's hand and she shifts her hands to her arms and shoulders. Her grip makes him uncomfortable, but after suspecting her, he thinks letting her do whatever is the best option in her mind.

You're pretty strong aren't you, Mike? Sylvia's grip turns ticklish, which makes Mike laugh automatically. Yes a little! Do you do any training on the outside? Strengthening and stuff? More or less … I have a teacher who teaches me martial arts and stuff Hum interesting. Thank you so much for your time, Mike! Until later! Until…

The girl steps out ahead of Mike towards the exit door, while he stands there trying to digest everything that just happened. Sylvia, journalism and chills. The day has barely begun and everything is going down a strange path. Still missing to visit Woden and there's the party later.

Mike walks towards the exit with his head down, thinking about how he should deal with Woden later to convince him to release him for the party later. Mike feels something hitting his back and books falling to the floor. He turns and reaches out to lift the person who has just fallen. He looks at the person and sees it's a woman. Apparently beautiful and by the way he recognized. It was Jessica.

Ouch… Ouch… That one hurt! Jessica! Excuse me! I dropped you by accident! I was inattentive and knocked you down. What an extraordinary force! You didn't even move! Yeah, people tell me that a lot! I will never forgive you, Mike! It was an accident! Calm down, i'm kidding hahaha

The boy helps Jessica to get up and picks up the things that have fallen on the floor, there are several books and papers. Looks like she was going to take this to some teacher. Mike carries most of it and says:

The least I can do is help take this to where you wanted it… Minimum ? Much more will have to be done! Oh that… hahaha accepted your help white knight. White knight ? Yes, save the damsel in distress, in my case! I'm not white as you can see… You understand, idiot! - Jessica punches Mike in the rib for making a fool of herself. The two laugh at the situation and walk down the hall. So… Jessica. Are you going to the party tonight? At Audrey's house? That's right! Not! I don't like parties very much! I'm a more homely girl… You should go! It will be great, there will be food and drink! That's not enough to convince me, knight! You know… I'm a big fan of Italian cuisine. Audrey told me to prepare a kind of buffet for the guys to help themselves. It's not going to be a drinking party and people throwing up. It will be another get-together. We'll have pasta and other appetizers. I can do it for you! I know you like noodles. Then…

Mike looks at Jessica with eyes full of energy and hands open, trying to convince her to go to the party. Since she is more homely, she certainly likes food like this, not from restaurants or ready-to-eat, which she just needs to heat up. Mike was keen to see this immediately.

Knight… Not content to just save the maiden… Will you feed her? Hmm. That's right. I know you like pasta. And I know how to do it and I love Italian food! The two win in this one. Yes, I love pasta! But how do you know this? The other day in class I saw your promotion coupon for the restaurant here near the college. I understand! It's settled then, Mike! See you later.

Mike is happy when the girl turns away. He celebrated, clenched his fists and punched the air. Something solid happened. He can talk to the girl he finds attractive, cook and have dinner with her. The party at Audrey's house always takes place at the beginning of the semester. It's more of a get-together between invited friends from the college. Something very formal, not loud or electronic music, after that people go to a club or something. Mike knows that if he convinces Audrey he can make pasta, fettuccine or spaghetti, they are not friends, but they are longtime colleagues. So, she knows the boy can make a nice meal if she can eat it too. So far the day has been too good to be true.

Now all that's left is to eat something and then head towards Woden's house and convince him to release it to the party earlier. Preferably without pain or cuts. Mike goes in search of his motorcycle to get off campus for lunch. He climbs it and goes to the street where there is a self-service restaurant that he likes. He parks his motorcycle and enters the restaurant. There he picks up a plate and prepares it with rice, eggs, fish and sweet potatoes. He comes to see the amount and goes to your table to eat.

Before starting to eat, he puts a brown spice on top of the food. Woden said it's a protein he needs to improve his physical strength and performance. It really helps and makes a difference, so Mike uses that as well as that medicine that goes away with the pain in a day. Since the old bearded man's medicines work and are not illicit, there is no reason to suspect or doubt. He plants it in his own house and as a basketball player, drug tests are common at state games. And not once was he accused or had any problems.

The boy has filled his plate with so much food that it looks like a mountain. Mike has always had a big appetite, which made him learn to cook on his own. He couldn't wait for his mother to cook every day, especially when he was on duty. So he went in search of culinary knowledge on the internet. His mother was even angry at first with the mess caused in the kitchen at home by her son's experiments. But after a while, his mother got used to it and began to admire and proudly eat Mike's food. A pleasant surprise for the boy.

Mike, after finishing his lunch, pays the girl at the cash register and goes back to his motorcycle. Now it's time to go see Woden. Earlier this time since it's Friday. Mike gets on his bike and rides for about fifteen minutes to the old man's compound. The boy always wonders where he got so much money. Even with the explanation it is still not possible to believe. Mike is not jealous, Woden has had all his credit for having the money he obviously has. It's approximately three in the afternoon and the party will start at eight in the evening. Mike has yet to convince the old man to release him or not to tear him apart in his training in order to attend the party. Woden's training causes extreme tiredness that makes the person only want to sleep after the sessions.
