2.

When he doesn’t wake up at her place, he wakes up early in the second bed and eats something. She calls or he calls and they talk. If he has school, he leaves without eating. He will buy something there. If he returns, he has lunch with his sister, something with red sauce. He will return for sure to change his clothes. Changes the backpack, puts on an extra sweater. He plays LoL on the computer in the living room. She calls and he will leave. When he returns tired, he goes into the bedroom to rest. He puts his headphones on and waits for her call. Or he calls her and they talk. And he leaves. He sits with his sister in the living room, they have coffee. She calls and he will have to leave. If he is still there after 23.00, it means they talk and have a fight.

The star reader

It was located outside of the village, on the roots of the mountain. The villagers buried their dead next to it. It was said to be the place where the dead and the living can communicate. And they knew that because of this girl who found the secret. When you ran there, the dead were watching and waiting. They were waiting for the dark. When the sky turned to deep tight-on-the-stomach blue, the dead used their candles to write messages on the sky for the living. The only way to read the messages in the stars was by lying there, flat on the plastic grass and look at the sky above. From down the village, the stars just shined indecipherable. The girl wanted to see all the stars that there are. So she went to that place where she knew she could find total darkness and solitude, since only the graves were there in the night. The place was a football field. A football field next to the cemetery. She was going there to run from time to time or play with her friends. When she lay down, all the sky fell upon her. She could see all the stars. And there, the message was revealed. No one knows what she read, but they say after that night she was doomed. She never came back to the village. She ran all day and read all night, reaching eternity.
