[Johan's POV]
He felt embarrassed for secretly hoping someone would show up at school. Like a childhood playmate that has grown into a fine young man, where time would stop the moment their eyes met, eucalyptus leaves falling slowly in the background. Like those kinds of shit in the movies.
But nobody showed up. Not even the janitor himself to kick him out for trespassing.
'Fucking shitty movies.'
Johan exited the gate with a cold pizza, closed it, not leaving a trace, and continued to his destination. With his face mask back on, he avoided the main road to prevent passing across his grandparents' ancestral house. Instead, he strolled a safe street even first-grade students can walk through without the fear of pedestrian accidents.
