*The day ends, out of the school Alex and Eva were walking together*

Alex: you seemed a little bit tired at the art class, are you alright?

Eva: yeah yeah don’t worry it just was a little headache then it’s gone.

Alex: you sure that you’re good?

Eva: Yes sir!

Alex: if you say so my dandelion.

Eva: Awwww, that’s sweet of you.

Alex: you got it?!

Eva: yeah of course! I’m not stupid and I know what dandelions are.

Alex: *Applause* great job! You’re making a noticeable progress honestly.

Eva: thank you!

Alex: You’re welcome! Did you apply on any scholarships?

Eva: I’ve done up 2 yesterday, the competition is so high on these scholarships.

Alex: don’t worry you will be accepted in the both.

Eva: you’re acting like you’re the one who’s reviewing the applications of the participants.

Alex: if you didn’t see him then there’s a possibility that I’m that one, it’s all about possibilities.

Eva: yeah yeah.

Alex: I’m talking for real; you will be accepted in both of them you know why?

Eva: because you’re the one who will review my application.

Alex: brilliant! No for sure! Because you’re the best one for these scholarships, skillful, smart, elegant, pretty, hard worker, kind, reliable and there’s a lot more but I’m tired to mention all of them to be honest.

Eva: well…I think you’re right, no need to worry now.

Alex: maybe I forgot to mention it but you’re a narcissist also.

Eva: thank you!

Alex: Hahaha! You’re unbelievable Haha!

Eva: Haha! I know! I almost forgot!

Alex: forgot what?

Eva: do you want to walk to the lighthouse?

Alex: I have nothing better to do.

Eva: then let’s go.

*on the way to the lighthouse*

Alex: Eva!

Eva: yes!

Alex: ahh…are..you know…like..ahh

Eva: Alex, just say what you want my sweetheart and don’t hesitate.

Alex: you remember how we fell in love together..right?

Eva: I won’t forget that; it was before 2 years and it was at the second semester of our first year at the high school and it all happened out of sudden and coincidence.

We were in the same group working on an article about “your dream that you’re running for it”, it was a little bit strange but cool at the same time that both of us thought about the same idea which it was “leaving the current resident place”.

Alex: yeah, that was pretty amazing for me…but..WoW! You really remember everything! That’s great totally great!

Eva: sure, I remember that! You’re my handsome boy.

Alex: Haah! That’s too sweet for me actually.

Eva: I’m just saying the truth.

Alex: such a sweet thing from the sweetest girl in the world, I won’t expect something less than that for sure.

Eva: that’s a good one to be honest.

Alex: glad that it was good and you liked it.

Eva: we arrived! The lighthouse!

Alex: yeah.

Eva: I have an idea! What about a promise?

Alex: a promise?

Eva: yeah! A promise!

Alex: okay..what we will promise each others about?

Eva: I promise you that I will meet you at this old lighthouse every first day of July.

Alex: …I promise you that I will meet you at this old lighthouse every first day of July?

Eva: yeaaaah!

Alex: but why? A..are you..going somewhere?

Eva: if anyone of us got accepted in any scholarship…we will have to split, but with this promise we won’t split forever right?

Alex: you know that I won’t do it and leave you.

Eva: sure I know you idiot! But you won’t sacrifice your dream won’t you?

Alex: if it to be with you then there’s no problem for me.

Eva: stop being dramatic please, we will stay together no matter what..isn’t that what you were always saying to me?

Alex: ..yes..yes it is.

Eva: so? Promise?

Alex: ….Promise.

Eva: such a way of handling a situation, I’m indeed too smart.

Alex: pretty and smart? That’s a lot for real, you will make other girls jealous from you.

Eva: its their fault that they’re comparing themselves to me.

Alex: well…that’s actually right! Good point young lady.

Eva: thank you gentleman, oh right! What we will do about the graduation project?

Alex: I’m really confused, a graduation project? Really? Are we in college or high school?

Eva: I don’t know till now. Haha.

Alex: okay…what about meet in a place and set up the details?

Eva: we will play and talk like every time and we will not do anything.

Alex: yeah..right.

Eva: we could work on the sources and negotiate what we will do and who will present all that separately at our own houses and the first one to finish preparing call the other what about that?

Alex: fine by me!

Eva: Cool!

Alex: now let’s back or we will be kicked out of our houses before working on the project.

Eva: think so too.

*3 weeks before the graduation day, 1 week before the graduation project deadline*

At Alex’s house:

Alex: I was ringing on her phone for the whole day and she wasn’t responding at all!

We will fail at this project! I’m going to her house, she’s probably sick or something..yeah that’s right! I will go check on her.

-Goodbye sweetheart!

Alex: what the?!!! (Alex started turning around to know where that voice came from but he was all alone in his room so he decided to not focus on that and prepare to visit Eva.)

(while Alex was on his own way towards Eva’s house he was thinking about the things he prepared and how he could work on the project and full fill it by himself if Eva was sick, “I don’t really care that much about the project comparing it to her health, her health is more important for sure” that what was Alex thinking about but when he arrived at Eva’s house he found it..silent! Not as usual, it was energetic and hyp all the time it has it’s own vibes indeed, when he knocked on the door and after few times and few seconds someone opened the door and that one was Eva’s father and he wasn’t..normal..”there’s something off” that what came to Alex’s mind the moment he saw Eva’s father face reactions.)

Alex: hey sir!

Eva’s father: get in please Alex.

Alex: okay.

At the living room *Eva’s house*:

Alex: is there’s something sir?

Eva’s father: actually yeah…yeah…there’s something.

Alex: what happened sir? Is it Eva? Is she all right?

Eva’s father: No…she’s not all right Alex…she’s not all right….

Alex: what happened to her? Is she in the city hospital?

Eva’s father: …..Eva’s dead Alex…she’s…no longer here.

Alex: …..what?! y..y..yy…you’re lying!!! she can’t be dead! She..she can’t be dead! We promised each other that we will meat every first day of July! She can’t break that promise!

Eva’s father: she died in a sudden accident yesterday’s night, she left us now Alex…and..we have to continue..even if it hurts too much but we have too….she..she won’t like to see anyone of us in a miserable state and specially you kid…she was loving you truly and you were the same I know and you both were a great couple together but..I think it’s the destiny.

Alex: what kind of destiny could do that?! what kind of destiny could take your beloved daughter from you, what kind of destiny could the only girl that cared about me and loved me and helped me a lot! Tell me! What kind is it?!!!

(Eva’s father started crying so aggressively with suffer and pain and self-blaming killing him while he cries like a little baby who’s lost in a massive desert, Alex start running out of the house and he has only one place in mind to go to now at this state of unbelieving, felling lost, dying from inside, losing hope and…felling..empty inside, Alex arrived at the old lighthouse and started walking around it and running over and over around it hopefully he could find her or any notice from her she could left for him but all what he found was the same he found at her house…silence, memories, fun times, sad times and the most important and hurting among all of them..was the promise the took together to meet..this promise can’t be stick to..it’s no longer exist!)

Alex: she didn’t go away without me…right? She didn’t! please tell me that she didn’t Please! Please! Please! Tell me that she didn’t! NOOOOO!!!!!

I..I..I can’t be without her! That’s can’t be! This is….killing!
