Intro. The wind is blowing hard over the high school building. The class bell has already rung, but no one can leave the school. Someone sits quietly on the edge of the roof, watching down. The security noticed, the teachers were in a hurry. The doors are locked, students are kept in classrooms. Everyone is holding their breath.
Rushing steps down the hallway. Standing in front of a teacher, a short speech, quick but firm sentences. Permission is obtained. They run towards the stairs, climb the steps two by two. The door opens, the wind hits his face. When you climb to the roof, you make eye contact. Nobody shouts. Nobody panics. There is only a silent agreement.
The crowd waiting below is getting even nervous. The person on the roof does not get up. The person who comes is approaching a few steps, careful, calm. Leaving school is still prohibited. Time is getting longer. Finally, they go down together and the doors open. Everyone relaxes, but at that moment, an invisible bond forms between the two.
Years later, the city is bigger, colder. A newly built apartment complex.
