The Great Adventure

A Story by Lizardo

Music started playing as I entered the bar with a big sad face, the bar was about to close, but since I was the friend of the owner, he let me stay there. So I started to chat with him about life and everything until he asked me:

''What the hell are you doing back in Manchester?''

''I'm going home, Ernest'' I said

''Wait, what?'' Ernest said. He said it in shock.

''you heard me; I'm going home''

''But why?''

''I just can't'' ''its true that have been traveling through Europe and everything'' ''but I can't do this; I don't know why I got stuck in my head that I could'' I said

''her words sounded so deeply, she played with me! My only light played with me...''

''and its better if I go home, away''

''Dude, you were the one who restored peace in Ukraine, went to London, Madrid, Lisboa, Amsterdam, Copenhagen,Rome, Athens, Istambul. You went to all Europe! Following your ideals, you can't go back home after all the work that you have done with this people'' Ernest said.

At the moment, a new friend whom I met back in London also arrived at the bar.

Her name was Katherine; she has curly golden hair she is kind of tall and has blue eyes.

Wow she was beauty.

''Ariel'' she said speaking softly

''are you going to suffer by what a girl who doesn't even respect her self said?''

'' you were going to climb Mt Everest, and you gave up because of a girl?'' she said

''I was going to go with you, but I just see that you are like the others, you step down the way that would give you glory''

At the moment, I enter my sences her voice sparked a fire in my heart again,

and it was true what she and Ernest told me about, I couldn't give up after all.

However, for you to understand what happened before all of this I should tell the whole story from the beginning:

My name is Cesar Ariel and I'm a student in Pasadena, California. Because of my high grades, I got the chance to travel to Europe with my other friends from the class, as a matter of fact; the whole class was invited to go to Europe.

However, let's say I got a head start.

I was at home packing my stuff with both of my sisters (they too were going to Europe with me, but with the class)

''Cesar, do you have everything packed up?'' my mother said to me

''yes mom everything is already packed, don't worry''

It was a big house; we had a pool and too-large palm trees, and at the back, we had a little house where my father would work.

It was 1 o'clock, and the plane would leave at 3, so I had to get going.

I said bye to everyone and went to the car with my father.

All the way to the airport he kept telling not to talk to strangers and everything,

and that he was proud of me.

So we got the airport at 2:30

'' Great'' I said

''now I only have 30 minutes to check everything!''
