"Hello Mr. Camden." Denys said as he walked in to Eric's office at the church.

"Hello, just come in and sit down", Eric said, "You can just call me Eric."

"I'm Denys." Denys said

"I'm really sorry that we had to meet here, but I didn't think a lot about it, I mean you are probably not that comfortable to be in this church." Eric said

"Oh that's just fine with me, I mean my parents and I actually thought about going to this church instead of our old one." Denys said with a smile.

"Oh okay, where were you going to church before?" He asked

"We just moved to Glen Oak this year, but we are still coming in the church in our old town." Denys said

It took a little while for Eric to figure it out. But then he finally got to a conclusion. Denys and his family was Christian.

"What about your parents, do they like that you are seeing Ruthie?" Eric asked Denys

"I actually haven't told them yet", Denys said nervously, "I mean it's the first time I have to do it."

"Oh I see" Eric said, "What do you think about school?"

"I like school, I really want to go to a university some day, and I dream about becoming a doctor." Denys said

Eric got very surprised to hear that and said: "That's a good idea, I have a son who is a medical student."

Eric started to like Denys, but he also started to figure out that he and Ruthie were very different.

"I actually don't have anything else to ask about." Eric said

"Okay then I will see you on Sunday." Denys said before he left.

It was Sunday and time to go to church. Ruthie was upstairs in her room, and made herself ready to go. Her dad had talked to Denys, and it seemed like it went well, but she didn't really know. He had said something about that Denys was coming to church with his parents. Ruthie was a bit nervous to meet his parents, but she was happy that she got to see Denys.

Ruthie looked around and tried to see if she could find Denys. She sat on the first bench in the church with her mother by her side. She was starting to get scared if he wouldn't come.

But then she saw him enter the church. He was followed by a man and a woman, who probably were his parents. But Ruthie wasn't really sure they didn't look like him at all. They didn't have all the special feature and the light brown skin as Denys. They sat down on a bench in the back, and Denys smiled at Ruthie.

When everyone was inside the church Eric came out, and started to talk. He talked about prejudices and judging people before you know them. Ruthie thought that he was talking about Denys, and that he had judged him before he even knew him. And it seemed like her father actually liked Denys.

After that day Ruthie and Denys grew a lot closer. Both of their parents were happy about them together. And they spent a lot of time in each others homes. One night they were sitting at Denys' room and talked.

"Denys." Ruthie said

"Hmm." He said

"Where are you born?" She asked him

He smiled and said: "I was born in Morocco."

"How old were you when you came to America?" Ruthie asked.

"I was two years old, when my parents adopted me," He said, "before that I lived in a children's home in Morocco."

"So you never knew your real parents?" Ruthie said

"No I haven't." He said.

"Do you remember Morocco?" She asked.

"No not really, a bit of it," He said, "my parents and I was on vacation there last year. My biggest dream was to see where I come from."

"Ruthie, you know that I'm playing in a band after school right?" Denys said after a little while.

"Yes I do," Ruthie said, "what's about that?"

"I thought that maybe you wanted to join us," Denys said, "We need a singer."

"Maybe," Ruthie said, "that could actually be fun."

Ruthie got happier and happier, and her marks were getting very high. Every day she looked forward to go to school. And after school she sang in Denys' band. There were two other boys in the band, Tom and David. David was playing keyboard and piano, and Tom was playing drums. Denys was playing guitar, and Ruthie was the singer. Ruthie also started to write songs to the band, and Denys tried to teach her how to play a guitar. They were having a lot of fun together.

In a whole week Denys was sick, and wasn't coming to school. The band wasn't playing after school in that week, and Ruthie thought that it was a horrible week. She was text messaging Denys after school.

Ruthie: How are you?

Denys: Not that good…

Ruthie: I miss you.. School's not the same without you

Denys: I miss you too sweetheart

Ruthie: Can I come by?

After five minutes Denys answered.

Denys: That's not so good, my parents don't want me to see anyone, and maybe you will be sick too. I love you..

The Camdens were eating dinner. Ruthie was in her own thoughts. She thought about Denys and why he didn't want her to come over. She was a little sad about it, and she really missed him.

"What do you want to do on Saturday?" Annie asked Ruthie

Ruthie looked up from her plate. She'd almost forgotten that it was her birthday this Saturday. A smile grew on her face.

"Oh, I don't know," She said, "I think I'll just stay at home with my family."

Ruthie woke up early Saturday morning, with a smile on her face. It was her birthday the day she was turning 17. She was lying in her bed, and she was probably the only one in the house who was awake. She turned on her cell phone and looked at the clock. It was only 7 am. She tried to fall asleep again but then her cell phone bib'ed. She looked at it; it was a text message from Denys. All her happiness fainted, she missed Denys, but still she was a little mad at him because he couldn't see her. She knew that she was unfair because he was sick, and everything but sometimes she just felt like she felt. And this time she felt mad, because she missed him that much.

She opened the message.

Denys: Are you awake?

Ruthie: Yes I am

Denys: Where are you?

What was that for a question? He knew that she was home.

Ruthie: In my room..

Denys: Okay, will you please walk down the stairs?

Ruthie was confused what did he meant about that. She had noted herself that he hadn't said good morning or happy birthday or anything, now she was even madder.

Ruthie: Why?

Denys: Just do it

Ruthie stood up, and walked out of her room. It seemed like everyone was sleeping. She walked slowly down the stairs and looked around. There was no one, and Ruthie was quite happy, cause she was still wearing her pyjamas.

Ruthie: What!

She was irritated at him now; she walked all the way out of her bed and down the stairs, for no reason.

Denys: Please open the door, it's getting cold out here; remember it's almost winter

He was outside, Ruthie's anger disappeared, when she opened the door and saw Denys.

"Happy birthday." He said and gave her a kiss.

"Thanks," She said, "Why are you here so early?"

"Because I have to go somewhere with my parents and I wanted to bring this to you first." He said and handed her a big present.

"Oh, is this for me?" She said

"Yes, but wait to open it when everyone is up." He said

"Okay I will," She said, "I have missed you, I thought had hoped that maybe you would stay a little while."

"I have missed you to, but I really have to go now, I'm really sorry about that." He said

"Okay," She said, "but where are you going?"

"Hmm," He hesitated, "just somewhere."

"Okay, you don't want to tell me?" Ruthie asked a little disappointed

"Not right know." He said

"That's okay; I'll see you at school on Monday." Ruthie said

"Yes see you." He said

Ruthie lay the present on the eating table. It was really big. She wondered what was in it, but she had no idea of what it could be.

Then she walked back up the stairs and into her room again.

She lay on her bed and fell asleep again.

She woke up when Sam and David were jumping in her bed, and they were singing happy birthday for her together with her parents.
