Vacations are cool. You can sleep in, watch TV longer, play all day. You can go to the club pool or set up a plastic pool in your backyard. Or even improvising a rain with a hose, to ward off the heat.
Gosh! It's so much to do, and nothing to do at the same time. No homework, school or exams. Yeah! There is no math class! (Have you ever stopped to think that teachers like vacations too?)
There are people who travel with their parents, there are people who go to the beach, there are people who go to play in the square every day, there are people who stay at home.
And there are people who get kind of sad. Like Lucas.
After playing with all the toys he got for Christmas, staying up late watching TV, playing with all the friends in the neighborhood, he missed Lucas. Missing classmates, partying at recess. Missing the teachers, the school itself.
So Lucas had a great idea: call his friends and invite a group to spend an afternoon at his house. He called two friends and explained:
- It will be tomorrow. Each one calls two more friends, until we have invited everyone, right?
The two friends agreed and there went the cogs of telephone service (or rather, electronic circuits) working to bring everyone together at Lucas' party.
His mother was super-nice: she prepared snacks, juices and even bought ice cream to make everyone more excited. At three o'clock in the afternoon, a parade of cars guided by mothers began in Rua do Lucas. He must have about 30 cars. And there's a mother leaving her child at Lucas' house to pick up later! Lucas welcomed everyone with great joy. Sound in the box, party going on, ice cream on the floor, soda heating up, mouths smeared with mustard, and the people just having fun, telling how Christmas had been and what they had already done at the vacation.
It was very funny. So much so that they agreed that on the weekend there was going to be a party at Juan's house.
When the party was over and everyone left, Lucas sat in a sad, thoughtful corner. The mother thought he was tired and sent Lucas to shower.
In the bedroom Lucas, still sad, decided to sleep. He had seen almost everyone in the class, but some friends were traveling and couldn't make it. It had been really cool to have seen most of them. But he lacked the most anticipated presence, the person he missed the most. She was traveling and would not return until the end of her vacation.
That's why he went to sleep. To see if he dreamed of Clarinha.
