Oliver

Oh, internet love... A strange thing, you thought. Until one day, Oliver showed up... A guy seven years older than you, 20 centimeters taller, with a rougher voice... The only problem was, you lived 2,500 kilometers apart. You'd been communicating online for six months. Right after graduation, you'd been texting him. Talking every day. Right until June 9th.

Squad 7, Squad 6, Squad 5... The counselors of the first squad emerged. You saw Oliver among them. You barely restrained yourself from running to him. And then, an announcement...
