I only imagined for a minute what would happen if I made a love confession to him and I did not understand that Ariadne was calling my name.

-Angeliki! cried Ariadne. I was kidding! We would never go to Stelios's house!

- Fortunately! I said

After the time passed we all got ready to go to the beach.

It took us 10 minutes to reach the beach, after we found sunbeds we arranged our things and got ready to enter the sea.

- I will sit down to keep things, do not let anyone steal them from us. I said

- But today is your day! They said

- I will go to sea later, I want to read a little. I said

- Yes, but then Maria will sit down to take care of things. Said Nicoleta

- Why me ;! Maria asked

- Because you are one year younger than me! Said Nicoleta

- Perfect! since this means that I am one year younger than you, you will age faster! Maria said ironically and as soon as I heard her words I started laughing

-My friends went to the sea and I took my cell phone out of my bag and started reading a book on the internet, it was a wonderful romance! I am obsessed with romantic books, I like them very much!

In half an hour I had read almost the whole chapter, I had only one chapter left and when I started reading it my friends came and sat next to me.

- What are you reading ; Nicoletta asked

I told her the name of the book and Ariadne smiled

- Have you read it? I asked Ariadne

- Yes and if you want my opinion it is wonderful!

I hung up my cell phone and looked around the beach was full, I decided to go to the sea too

"Will Maria be left alone? I asked

- No, no do not worry he found some friends from school and they will sit together to take care of our things, you know now he wants to sunbathe. Said Nicoleta

I started to enter the sea slowly and I begged my friends not to rain me and fortunately they did not rain me. "It is a decision" I said to myself and dived into the sea. We started wetting each other and taking big dives. It was all wonderful! After 1 hour of endless play in the sea we went out and wrapped ourselves in the towels we had taken from our homes. From the heat we dried quite quickly and we all put a little dress on top of our swimsuit to then go to the cafeteria.

- Did I make a big decision? I said in a loud voice. I do not like Stelios anymore!

Ariadne and especially Nicoleta were left speechless

- So, did you forget the love you had for him? Ariadne asked ironically

- I would not say it was love but a teenage enthusiasm! I answered and as I turned my head I saw Stelios a few meters away with his brother looking for sunbeds, I just stood motionless to look at him while he had not even noticed me, I returned slowly to Nicoleta's place

- Nicoleta, do you think he heard me? I asked her

- No. Said Nicoleta

-Did you say teenage excitement? Ariadne asked ironically

Maria came to me and looked at me with a wide smile

- Won't you tell him how you feel? Maria told me

I started blushing, I felt my cheeks burning and I lost the ground under my feet

- I can not . I whispered

- It's now or never . said Ariadne

- I agree with Ariadne, after all, in a week you will go to America. Said Nicoleta

- What if he rejects me? I asked, obviously scared

- In this incredible event you will find someone better. said Ariadne and touched my shoulder.

I took a deep breath and went to Stelios

- Good evening Angeliki! Stelios told me, looking at me with a small smile

-K-Good evening, I said stuttering. I want to tell you something. I told him as my heart was beating like never before

at that time I was imagining more than 3 scenarios of what would happen if I told him that I felt and only 1 script would fit well

- Tell me . Stelios told me anxiously

I looked him in the eye for a while, I did not have the courage to tell him how I felt, so I closed my eyes for a while and tried to think of something clever to avoid this awkward moment.

- I forgot what I wanted to tell you. I told him with an awkward smile

- Was it something important? He told me looking me in the eyes

- No, it was not important otherwise I would not forget it. I said still having my awkward smile

- When you remember, tell me. he said as I began to slowly walk away from him and go to my friends.

-Did you tell him? Maria asked me before I could speak

I shook my head

- I did not have the courage to tell him. I said looking at the ground

Ariadne looked at me for a while and then took me by the hand and pulled me towards Stelios

- What are you doing ; I asked her

- You probably need a little push. He told me and continued to pull me towards Stelios while I was trying to resist.

- I think it would be better to let her do what she wants. Said Nicoleta

- Thank you Nicoleta. I said and I felt really grateful at that moment

- No ! You have to claim what you want! If you leave like this one day you will regret it! Ariadne said in a determined voice

I thought for a while what Ariadne said, her words resonated in my head and I realized that she was absolutely right

-Ok, I 'll do it ! I shouted at her and only then did she let go of my hand

I started going to Stelios again, I was about 4 meters away from him when suddenly a girl fell into his arms, at that moment I felt very bad, I took a step back, all my confidence, everything disappeared in just a few seconds

- I missed you so much ! cried the girl

- After seeing each other every day. said Stelios

At that moment I turned my back and went to my friends who were shocked

- There will have been some misunderstanding. said Ariadne

- I do not think . I said and sat down on a lounger

Nicoleta sat to my right and Ariadne to my left

- Sorry I made you go talk to him. Ariadne told me

- Do not apologize, what you said was right, we must claim what we want, it was probably not my lucky moment. I said smiling as much as I could but I knew my smile was fake
