Das seltsame Buch - Académie de Nancy-Metz

I can’t! Damn it!
Ok, it’s 5 am. I have to get up in 2 hours. Enough now.
Oh god, damn me. I have just finished the book. And it’s 8 am. I was late! I got up, feeling the rings
under my eyes. I quickly put some coffee on the fire and ran to the bathroom. I quickly had a shower. I
brushed my teeth and put some make-up at the same time. I put my make-up in my mouth and I tried to
make up with my toothbrush. Ew, that’s gross! And that hurt…my poor eye! Hey, I must hurry up! And I
didn’t see a thing any more! I felt my make-up roll down my cheeks with my tears. As if I had the time
for this! Oh and whatever the make-up! I’d put on sunglasses today! Oh no, the coffee! I put it in a cup
and drink it in a hurry. Ow, I think I just burnt my tongue! And it boiled, it’s not good! I jumped into my
shoes and got out. Hey, my bag! I went back into the house, grabbed my bag and got out again. It was
raining. What am I doing with sunglasses?! I ran until I reached the library. I finally entered, gasping
for air, with dishevelled hair and an open bag, my book fell out of it. I put it back into my bag and closed
it. Ah, here’s Chris.
“Mel?! Wha-what happened?” He said, panicked.
“You…it’s your damn book!” I said, “Wait. I’m going to give it back to you…”
I searched in my bag. Don’t tell me…I forgot it.
“Great…” I said, really annoyed.
“Um…I guess you liked it?” He said bashfully.
“You can say that…I didn’t sleep at all. That book was too…too…” I said.
“You DIDN’T sleep?!” He said.
“Your fault.” I said, “And I’ve burnt my tongue because of you!”
“Hey, it’s not my fault!” He said.
“Yes it is” I said, “And because of YOU I tasted make-up! Bleh!”
He looks at me, amused.
“DON’T imagine!” I said, “Or I’ll make you taste it!”
He bursts out laughing.
“Damn you!” I yelled at him. That made him laugh even more.
“Well” He said, still laughing, “I’m happy you enjoyed it!”
Meh, whatever. Time to work. I sat behind my desk.
…Huh? Oh no. I…I think I have just slept. I just slept until 11am! Oh god, I hope no one saw me…Ah?
Chris is here.
“Ah, you’re awake” He said, “Don’t worry, I did your part of work today. But don’t get used to that!”
He laughed. I laughed a bit too.
“Hum, yeah” I said, “Thanks, Chris.”
“Heh, no problem. Let’s eat in a fast-food restaurant now, I’m hungry!” He said with a big smile.
“Let’s go!” I said happily.
I followed him out of the library. We were walking in the street when a car suddenly came from
nowhere and hit me. I fell down onto the road and the car crushed my leg. I screamed. Chris ran
towards me.
“Oh my god, are you okay?!” He said.
I didn’t react straight away. I was …shocked. This happened so quickly…wow. I tried to keep calm…
“Ow…I…I guess I can be happy to be alive…” I said.
“Why did you walk onto the road?! Didn’t you see the car?!” He said
Oh. So the car is not guilty. Oh god, I didn't even seen it.
“We’ll heal you, don’t worry!” He said.
He seems panicked. I’m still happy to be alive, even if I just got hurt by a car.
“Chris?” I said, “You…you’re not going to cry, are you?”
“What? No, I…” He said.
“I don’t mind if you do, you know.” I said.
He looked at me, and I saw a tear roll down his face. An ambulance arrived, and the firemen took care
