Friday evening. Magni's dorm.
Music was pounding in the living room, and laughter echoed in the hallway every few moments. Levent and Rémy were arguing about the last game, Inés was talking with Agneta on the couch, and Paola was trying to convince everyone to order something to eat.
Meanwhile, Magni had disappeared with his girlfriend into his room.
He sat on the bed in a black hoodie with the number 8, his back against the wall. When the girl settled next to him, he put his arm around her and pulled her close.
— You know that if Levent figures out we've disappeared at the same time again, he'll start asking questions — he said with an amused smile.
Instead of letting her go, though, he leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
— Though honestly? I don't give a damn about his questions. For three months I can't even sit next to my own girlfriend without anyone suspecting anything.
He smiled slightly, brushing her hair away from her face.
— I'm starting to wonder if it was really worth agreeing to this.
Suddenly Levent's voice rang out in the hallway.
— Elverston! Buddy, are you in your room? I need a charger!
Magni rolled his eyes.
— Of course, right now of all times.
The doorknob began to turn.
The boy immediately pulled away from the girl and looked at the door, then at her.
— Damn. If he sees us, we're screwed.
The door opened slightly.
Magni quickly lowered his voice.
— Hide for a moment. I'll get rid of him somehow.
From the hallway came his friend's voice again:
— Magni? Why did you lock the door?
Magni looked at the girl with the expression of a man who had just realized their secret might soon stop being a secret.
