Jeff was starting to feel uncomfortable playing with the girls, as though he didn’t fit in. He leaned to Jane and whispered “I’m going for a walk, I need a breather.”. She whispered back “Alright, but remember to try to enjoy yourself ‘Mayumi’, this is a once in a lifetime chance”. Jeff left the room, pondering his sisters words and stood for a moment in the corridor.
A second later, the door opposite him opened and out walked Raul. He seemed more confident than earlier, more suave and it send Jeff’s mind down an unexpected line of thought. Why not try something new?
Raul looked up, and smiled: “Mayumi was it, what are you doing out here?”. “Just grabbing a breather outside, want to come?” Jeff said, thinking no matter what everything will go back to normal tomorrow. He didn’t stop to think why he was considering hanging out with Raul, only that it sounded like a good idea.
