Chapter One
The first time Fabrizio had seen Helga was the first day on Titanic. He and Jack had gone to third class to go look for the room that they were going to stay in on the voyage. When he saw Helga he stopped in his tracks and looked back at her. He had thought she was an angel, however; he did not officially meet her until April 12….
Fabrizio awoke by a slight tap on his shoulder. Jack had told him that it was time for breakfast. The Italian sighed as he woke up. He grabbed a water basin, put his hands in the water, and splashed the water on his face. He and Jack then went up to higher part of the deck for breakfast.
When they reached the table, Fabrizio sat down beside Jack. The Italian's dark brown eyes scanned the table. His eyes widened with delight as he saw the food that they were being served. It was eggs and bacon! He had not had such great food since he left Italy with Jack. He immediately began to eat the food on his plate.
After he was done eating, he went up the stairs to go to the third class lounge. It was there were he saw her. Helga. The most beautiful girl he had seen in his life! She was wearing the same black dress she had worn the first day. Fabrizio smiled. He brushed the dirt off of his clothes and walked over to where she was which was on a bench alone. He sat down beside her and started to think of what he wanted to say to her. Does she speak English? Is she a foreigner like me? If so, how will I communicate with her? Does she speak Italian or a different language? What is her name? What is she like? Does she dance? How old is she? What am I supposed to say to such a beautiful angel? He thought to himself. All of these thought kept going through his head at once.
The dirty blonde haired girl smiled at him and stood up to fix her dress. She then sat back down. She let out a sigh. She was lonely on the ship because most of the people in third class did not speak her language and did not understand her.
Suddenly, the young man sitting beside her coughed she turned to face him. "Italian? A little English?" he asked.
She smiled at the Italian. She understood what he was trying to ask her. At her home in Norway foriegners and upper class citizens would sometimes ask her if she spoke their language. "Norwegian only," she replied. Truthfully she could speak a little English, but she only spoke a few words like only, no, yes, and hi. Other than those words she understood and spoke no English.
"Norwegi-" the man began to repeat when he suddenly interrupted by her mother telling her to be careful around the boy. Helga rolled her eyes and ignored her mother. The young man was simply being nice by talking to her.
"Fa-bri-zio," the Italian man said as he pointed to himself.
A confused look passed on Helga face then she realized he was telling her his name. "Fabrizio," she repeated just as slowly as he had spoken.
Fabrizio smiled a large smile. He clapped his hands with excitement. "Very good," he told her. He then pointed to her.
She smiled at him. "Helga," she said.
"Helga," he repeated.
They both looked at each other and smiled. They would have talked more if a first class lady had not walked down the lower decks. She was absolutely beautiful. She was wearing a cream colored dress and had beautiful red hair.
As this woman walked, silence filled the third class area. It was rare for a first class passenger, much less a lady, to mingle with poor folk. Unlike most rich people, she actually seemed like a nice person.
A blond haired boy stood up when he saw her. "Hello, Mister Dawson," she said.
"Hello," he replied.
"May I speak with you?" She asked.
"Sure."
The red haired woman looked around now noticing all the stares she was getting from everyone. "Privately."
Helga smiled as the third class boy left with the upper class girl. Fabrizio and a brown haired boy that was sitting on the bench faced on the opposite side of them were laughing. Helga laughed too. She did not what was funny but she laughed with them anyway.
