«You heard? About Masleniza…»

«Would you stop with your celebration!» Peter held his phone in his hand. He was still red in the face after the conversation with his father regarding the B in math. «This interview is the most important thing!»

Peter almost cried,

«Honestly! We are talking about our future now! Celebrations?! Get serious!»

Lisa looked at him and sighed.

«Lisa!» Sveta ran towards them.

When she heard about Masleniza, she tried to cheer Lisa up,

«No worries! We’ll figure it out!»

But Lisa was sad. «Why do I always fail? Really! What’s wrong with me?», she ruminated. Her best friend Sasha started to hang out with a group of cool girls. They were always engrossed with their phones; often Lisa couldn’t even understand what they were discussing. When she told this to Sasha, her friend responded that it was Lisa who was weird. That nobody got Lisa’s ideas and that she was just embarrassing herself.

Sasha was not the only person telling her that. Lisa’s mom found her ideas weird as well. She also called it a fantasy, when Grandma said that Lisa had «a gift.»

Grandma! The only person who got her was Grandma. Lisa wanted badly to believe her. She told Lisa so many interesting things. How they celebrated Spring, Midsummer, the traditions of Harvesting times. Lisa’s face lit up when she thought of it. She wanted so much to make a big celebration as they did in earlier times. A huge happening, and to have someone to share this joy with…

«Hey! Let’s go to Roma’s Cafe!» suddenly Sveta said.

Lisa turned to her and smiled,

«Yeah! Let’s go visit him!»

«I’ve got no time!» Peter sounded irritated.

«Please!» Sveta jumped around.

«Ok – five minutes!» Peter already regretted that he gave in.
