Chapter 2

"Hanging Out And The Disco!"

By the time we pick up our luggage, wait for the bus, go to our hotel and drop our suitcases it was growing almost midday and to arrive in Palermo it took good 20 minutes since our hotel were in the outskirts of the town.

The bus stopped just in front of the Palatine Chapel. Only that, due to our misfortune, it had already closed for lunch time so we were told we had an hour to have lunch wherever we wanted and be back at the meeting point in time was sufficient.

"Perfect! Finally it's time to go eating! I want to try some Italian food!" yelled Odd. "So from where we start?" he asked already thinking where they could go to eat something.

"I suggest going ahead this street so we don't get lost, moreover I can see a nice place just after the crossroads." Yumi said.

In fact that was what we did.

We entered the place and we took a table in the corner near the window. It was nice with a persistent pizza's smell. The menus were already on the table so we took one each and started reading it. It doesn't take long for the waiter to come.

"Cosa vi porto?" asked the waiter, a girl about 25 with black hair that wore an apron.

After a few seconds of an embarrassing silence Aelita spoke: "Sorry, but…"

"Oh you're foreigners." She cut her off "Sorry, we usually don't have lots of tourist, so… what would you like to eat?"

"What do you recommend?" asked Odd impatient.

"Today we have maccheroni al ragù" she announced.

"Macaraoni a ragu!" mumbled Yumi

"No, maccheroni al ragù" the waiter corrected her.

"Macheroni al ragu" she repeated.

"Yeah, you got it. It's the dish of the day"

"Ok, I decided to try it" Odd said enthusiastic.

"Me too!" added Jeremy and Aelita in unison.

"Ok… and for you two?" she said referring to Yumi and me.

"I think we all will take it, right Ulrich?" she asked me.

"Yes, sure. It's ok for me."

"Perfect. I'll be back in a moment!" with this the girl walked away.

Truth to her words in a moment she was back with 5 steaming plates full of pasta.

We ate almost in silence and when we finished we realized we had to go to the meeting point.

"It's time to go!" announced Jeremy, so we got up from our seats and we paid the bill.

The time and the day passed very quickly, we visited the Chapel and sightseeing tour of the city! It has been a great day for everybody. We included.

Jeremy learned a lot of things about the Italian history, Aelita took many photos, Odd ate all the food he could, Yumi bought a few presents and I helped her.

In the end every one was tired and as we arrived in the hotel we took our own suitcase and waited for the teacher to sort us.

"Guys now listen to me" said the teacher and all the students started listening "Now you will receive the key of your room. I divided you in groups of two or three depending on the rooms like, but girls always separated from boys. Now… in room 40 Aelita and Yumi, in room 42 Milly and Tamiya, room 44 Sissi, Emilie and Noemi, room 46 Odd, Ulrich and Jeremy, room 48 William, Teo…."

But most of us by now weren't listening anymore; in fact we began to go away reaching for our rooms.

"So girls, see you later at dinner" said Odd as we arrived in front of our room with us.

"Ok, bye" replied the girls continuing walking to arrive in their room.

For the following hour everybody got prepared for dinner, but at 8 o' clock the others and me were ready to go in the dining room and we were almost the first. In fact in the hotel restaurant there was, besides the other guests, only few people of our school.

We decided to take a table for us and take the seats for the girls.

Yumi and Aelita showed up about ten minutes later. They changed their clothes and put on some make up. They were really beautiful.

Odd waived to them indicating the free seats near us. Yumi smiled in reply, took Aelita by the hand and reached our table.

After dinner the teacher wanted all us to read "few" pages of "Aeneid" since the day after we will visit the place where, according to the legend, Aeneas would have been.

Naturally we didn't take it good, but obeyed. We went on first floor where there was a place big enough for all of us to sit, with a couch and chairs. As soon as we saw the couch everybody started to run to get a seat. Yumi and Odd arrived first so the others had to be satisfied with chairs.

I was starting looking for a chair when Yumi told me if I wanted to sit next to her.

"Is big enough for the three of us" she added.

I accepted and I sat between Yumi and Odd and for an interminable hour we listened to the teacher read the book. It was amazing when, during the reading, one of our school fellows fell asleep and the teacher rebuked him! Finally around 10 the teacher let us go saying that everybody had to return to his own room at 11.

"Finally! I couldn't take it anymore! What a tedious book!" exclaimed Odd as soon as the teacher walked away.

"No, I don't think so… in my opinion it was interesting and it's good for us to know about the places we'll visit" replied Jeremy.

"Think what you want but I'm happy it's finished! Now we can have some fun!" continued Odd.

"Perfect so were do we go now?" asked Yumi.

"Since we have only one hour we can try to go to the disco organized here at the hotel" suggested Aelita.

"I think it's a great idea!" I said enthusiastic.

And I wasn't the only one enthusiastic: every one decided to go to the disco.

When we arrived there was already another group of students from another school that was dancing. They didn't seem so happy that we arrived and moreover they looked and they acted a bit… strange…

Odd probably noticed too, because he got near me and said: "Trust me, someone of those guys will end bad someday!"

However the disco wasn't such that funny as we thought because the others guys dancing in a very strange way were occupying all the space on the small dance floor, the music was always he same song, so we just sat down on few chairs in the corner of the room doing nothing.

After a little time, Yumi whispered something to Aelita, she nodded and both stood up.

"Guys, we are going to ask the DJ to change the song" she announced and with this Aelita and she went away.

After few minutes the light turned on and the music stopped.

"Yes, this boredom is finished!" Jeremy exclaimed.

"There's a girl laying on the floor!" someone screams.

"I told you someone of those guys would have end bad!" Odd said me.

"Oh my God! Yumi!" Aelita screamed.

My blood froze.
