The next day, I headed back to the hospital where Mr. Neville was sitting. When I reached the lobby, I was stopped by the receptionist to fill out the visitor's form. After that, I was told that his room had been changed from the general ward to a private room. I was told to head towards room no. 218 on the second floor, the last room on the right. I headed for the stairs and once I reached his room, I knocked on the door. The door was opened by a nurse who was checking blood pressure and daily check-up.
I was welcomed by him and was told to sit on the couch. I obeyed and we both waited for the nurse to leave. After she left, he greeted me, we did some small talk about my life, then he asked me where he had left the previous day. I told him, "You were just telling me yesterday, that Sarah came and sat behind you in the cafeteria" and after seeing him nod I got ready to record his voice so I could deliver the exact message.
He began once again, "She came and sat behind us, but Michael was busy eating and did not even notice her. I started to joke around with him. Does he like that new girl? Would he want to go out with her and so on... He turned beetroot red, he was blushing so much he had to cover his face with his hands. I think Sarah was listening to our conversation because, after a while, she got up from her table, came to us and put down a note on the table, and went out of the cafeteria... And Michael didn't notice it at all, he was busy covering his face so much that he had put his head down on the table.
I picked up the note, and after a while, we too went outside the cafe, he had to go to the bathroom. We went there and there I told him that Sarah wanted to meet him, and had given me a note to give to him... Of course, he didn't believe me, but after we got out of the bathroom, he said if what I said was true, then to give him the note. I took the note out of my pocket, and gave it to him, coincidentally Sarah was also walking down that corridor, and she saw him with the note and immediately took the stairs to her left and went down...
We went to class, I asked him to open the note and show the contents, but he refused and asked me to come to his house after school. After a long day, school ended and I went to his house, his mother greeted us at the door. I still remember her vividly... We went to his room, which was on the first floor, we sat down at his table... and he opened the envelope, inside was a white page folded in half, inside was her address written, which was two blocks down the street, and she had asked to meet at a park, near her house at 16:00 in the evening today, we both saw the clock simultaneously and it was already around 15:50, so he immidiately got out and started to run towards his cycle."
"It is getting late, I will have to leave it at it, I'll come back again." I interrupted Neville. To which he replied positively, and asked me to come back whenever I have time. I got out and while thinking about this story, I headed home.
