part one

The classroom doors slammed shut, and the students happily ran outside, colorfully imagining how they would spend the next three months. Some of them flew to another country to take a break from the so-called "our good old town"; some went to the sea, not wanting to spend the whole summer lying under a cool air conditioner and running to the river every day trying to get rid of the annoying heat; some went to visit their relatives in a distant country. And some stayed in their hometown, thrilled to imagine swimming with friends in the scorching sun, riding bicycles through familiar streets at dusk, shouting obscenities, and knocking on Aunt Marge's door every day, laughing and running down the street to her shrieks. Everyone was making plans for the summer and was incredibly excited about the end of another school year. The students shouted and chattered excitedly, pushing the crowd that had formed in the high school lobby. The doors swung open, letting the light pour in, and the kids ran outside. Everyone headed for the gate, taking notebooks and textbooks out of their briefcases along the way, tearing them up and tossing them high into the air. Some took a lighter and burned every single notebook, throwing what was left of their school supplies straight into the trash with an undisguised smile on their faces. Someone, not wanting to hesitate, immediately emptied all the contents of the briefcase into the trash can. Someone, on the contrary, walked leisurely to the gate, breathing the sweet May air, intending to keep this moment in the memory for a long time. Everyone ran outside the school as if they had escaped from the prison where they had been for nine months. The air was saturated with the joy of the schoolchildren, and conversations, shouts and laughter could be heard everywhere. It was the end of May, the thirtieth day. Summer had not yet arrived, but the heat was already making itself felt, and the sun was shining dazzlingly, as if rejoicing with the children. Everywhere already smelled of summer. People with smiles on their faces were wandering through the streets, serenely talking about how happy they were about the approaching summer months. They came home, sighed with relief, threw off their backpack or work bag. They would flop down on the bed and enjoy watching the sunlight glide across the room. Some were already running to the river with friends, anticipating a wonderful rest of the day. In general, absolutely everyone in the city was breathing freely. They were talking excitedly and overly emotional about their plans for the summer, taking in more air, laughing and saying obscene words.
- ...To the sea, you know? For two weeks! Я
-I thought we'd be home for the whole summer, we spent a lot of money on the trip last year. But my parents. I don't know, they're a little bit more relaxed,
- One of the girls' eyes sparkled with excitement.
- You won't miss me too much, will you?
- The blonde asked a little anxiously. Her friend smiled bitterly.
- Of course I will. There's not much for me to do without you. But I'm happy for you, really. Just don't forget to send pictures, or it'll be like last time. The blonde rolled her eyes with a smirk on her face.
- Okay! I will.
