[1] I


And then there is me, that after a perfect childhood I find myself at the age of 15 in the second year of high school. Until now I have spent my life perfectly, in the true sense of the word my life has been perfect in every point and if I say perfect I mean that no one in the world has had a better life. Well first of all I have to say that I have never been hurt physically and I am saying that a slight scratch would be news to me.Instead psychologically the worst thing that has been said to me is: "You are one of the best people I know".this alone shows how perfect my life has been.Socially it can't get any better as all my classmates consider me their best friend. All the girls in my class are crazy about me and my girlfriend is the most beautiful, sincere, nice and intelligent person I know (and I'm not just saying that because she's my girlfriend, that's just the way it is!) My school grades have always been the best and I'm not saying the best to mean grades on average of eight or nine, but all ten and that's it. Many people may not believe it but it's true, I have never taken a grade lower than ten! In the sports sector I am excellent in every area and many observers of various sports have asked me to join the most famous teams, but I refused because my real desire is to become a politician.Physically I am without any pimples (never had) and I have very strong muscles. Every day I always do a good deed and I always think of my neighbor putting my own needs aside; in short, I believe that I am the only person in the world who has these characteristics.I am Italian, but in addition to my native language I also speak English and German perfectly.do they seem like a few languages for someone like me? Yes, in fact they are few, but with my skills I could learn 7 languages a week; for example I learned German in a boring evening, where I had nothing to do for 2-3 hours.The only reason why I don't want to learn so many languages is because I don't want to look like a genius in front of others.Today is January 3, 2062 and the new year has just started, right now I am at home and I am teaching my 12 year old sister German (obviously in my spare time) and I think that tomorrow I will start studying as much as I can for school.


3 years later.........


Today is January 3, 2065 and for now I'm 18 years old, but on April 27 I will be 19. Right now I'm in America with my aunt Aurora for the Christmas vacations, precisely I'm in New York and now despite being in such a metropolis I'm locked up at home to prepare for the high school graduation that will be held in July in Italy. These 4 and a half years of high school were obviously perfect and I think my life will always be so perfect. I'm here in New York and I've been here for a week and so far I've spent all my days studying and evenings hanging out with a friend I just met here in America.This "friend" of mine (I just met him) is called Paul , he's 18 years old like me and he's American, he's about my height and he has long wavy blond hair. His eyes are blue and he always dresses in a dark green jacket with a red tie.His pants always vary and he usually always uses black ones (I don't know what brand).Today he asked me out and now I'm about to go .While we were walking around the city (one of the few times I go to the city) he told me that soon there would be an alarm and when we heard it we would have to go out of town. I asked him why and he told me that every now and then for 2 weeks it happens that this alarm is heard only in New York and when you hear it you have to immediately move away from the city for at least a distance of 20 km. At that moment I asked for an explanation on why this happened and he answered that the reason why you have to leave the city when the alarm sounds, regardless of what you are doing, is that temporary radiation is formed only within the city. For a whole day you have to leave the city and return the next day only after the "Radiers" have erased all traces of "RadiT" that is a name they have given to this type of temporary radiation.I asked why in Italy this news had not yet arrived and also how he knew this news.He replied telling me that only those who lived in the city and within 20 km was required to know the news and that the government preferred not to disclose this news around the world and also asked citizens to keep this news in the dark for people not resident in these designated areas. I was curious and I asked him how it was possible that he told me and why no one has disclosed this news so far, he looked at me for a few seconds without answering and then he told me that to me and those who were tourists the news could be told, but I asked him why he avoided answering the question of why no one has yet revealed the news and he hesitated for a few more seconds and then answered in a very hasty way that he had a commitment of which he had forgotten and he left without telling me anything.
