The Lighthouse






Chapter One - The Juice

"Hi Peter! Good Morning!" I said.
"Hey Dan! How are you?"
"Fine... Hey, I was thinking do you have any plans for today?"
"Humm.. Let me see... I don't think so. Why?"
"I was thinking go to the mall watch a film,do you wanna come?"
"Yeah! What time?"
"Can I catch you by 10 a.m.?"
"Ok! So see'ya!"
"See'ya!"

I took a shower and change my clothes, grab my keys and drive to Peter's. He was there, watching tv as usual.
"Hey dude! You can wait this finish?"
"Yeah..." Why I said that? It took one hour and a half till the end.
"Hey Dan... Sorry I really like this show and I really didn't wanna miss it! So thank you again!"
"No problem. It's ok!"

The weather was quite good. Not too hot or too cold. Was perfect for a day on the mall.
"Hey Dan! Remember Ashley? That girl on that beach party?" Peter said with such enthusiasm in his voice.
"Not perfectly... Why?"
"We're seeing each other"
"Really?" That was a huge news I thought. "Since when?"
"I really don't know.. But it's being a while."
"I'm happy for you Pete!"
"Thank you Dan, is your turn now!" He said laughing out loud.
"Yeah..."

The parking lot was crowded and took me about 5 minutes to find a place. We dicided to eat something before the film. And we went to a new place.
"What you're gonna have?" Peter asked.
"I don't know, maybe a bread with chesse and a strawberry juice, and you?"
"A hamburger"

"Good afternoon!"
"Good" We both said.
"You decided what you're gonna have?"
"Yeah. A bread with chesse and a strawberry juice and a hamburger with fries and a coke"
"Sorry but I don't have strawberry juice.. You see that place right there?" He pointed to a small door I probably have never seen.
"Yeah"
"Go there! They have lots of juice"
"Ok!"

And so I did. I really don't remember seeing that door. It was a natural restaurant.
I walk in and grab a chair and sit. Soon came a boy about my age. With beautiful deep blue eyes.
"Hi! Can I help you?" He asked kindly.
"Do you have strawberry juice?"
"yes."
"I'll want one, please."
"Ok, will that be all?"
"yeah."

After a few minutes my juice was ready. I paid for it. And when I grab it from the kindly guy he looked inside my eyes deeply.
"See you soon" He said.
"Yeah. See'ya!" I answered.
