""Dear Diary, today is the last day of school." "The summer is starting." "But the most important news is that Manuela and I have been invited to the swimming pool at Daniele's house!"" ""I've waited for this moment for months." "Maybe this time he'll pay some attention to me..."" "Elvira!" "Elvira!" "Could you wake your granddaughter up?" "I'm running late." "Melissa, hurry up, you're going to be late for school." "Elvira?" "What are you doing?" "Can't you hear me?" "Please, can you do it?" "I'm late, I still have to finish getting ready." "Sorry." "All right, I'll do it myself." "What a mess!" " Sweetheart, the alarm!" " Go away!" "Sorry, darling, but you're going to be late for school." "Get out!" "We arrived at 4 pm." "SUMMER" "On the whole way there I just wanted to turn back." "My heart was in my mouth." " Wait, don't ring!" " Why not?" "It's still early." "No, it's not, this is the time Titti told us to come." "Feel this." " I don't feel anything." " But how!" "It feels like it's about to explode!" "Let's get out of here." "Come on!" "You've had a crush on him for a year and now finally..." "I look terrible today." "No way!" "You look gorgeous." "What if he finds out I can't swim?" " Stay away from the pool." " And if he kisses me and realizes it's my first time?" " Are you crazy?" "With all the rehearsing we've done!" " Who's that?" " Which?" " The only fuckable one." " You're here!" "Don't let her run away!" "Pin her down, Patrizio!" "No!" "Please let me go!" "Put me down, don't be a bastard!" " Hello, Manuela." " I'm Manuela." "I'm Melissa." " Well then hello, Melissa." " Daniele!" "Come here!" "Excuse me." "Well, I..." "Fucking assholes, my shoes!" "These shoes cost me two hundred euros." " Who is that girl lying down?" " Lavinia, Arnaldo's girlfriend." "A bitch." "Don't even try throwing me in the water or I'll kick your ass." "Honey." "I'm going over there." "Be careful, they'll throw you in the water." "No!" "She can't swim!" "Help her!" "Do something!" "Were you scared?" "Me?" "No." "I thought you knew how to swim." "Yes, I can swim, but..." "I got scared all of a sudden." "But you just told me you weren't scared." "After!" "You got scared." "Come on!" "I'll show you the nicest part of the garden." "So you don't know how to swim." "I can teach you one day." "You can come back, without all these people." " Well?" " Well what?" "Will you come?" " Yes." " You like it here?" "Yes." "And you like me?" " Enough." " What does your father do?" "Engineer." " He builds streets?" " No." "Oil." "He's on a platform in the middle of the Indian Ocean." "He'll be back within a year." "And your mother?" "She sells bridal gowns." " Do you have any brothers?" " No." "Just a friend." " You confide in her." " Yes." " Do you tell her everything?" " Yes." "And what will you tell her about me?" "I don't know." "You look like a kid." "How old are you?" "Fifteen and a half." " Do you have a boyfriend?" " No." "Do you?" " What?" " A girlfriend!" "No, I don't." "Are you a virgin?" "Yes." " How many times have you been kissed?" " Twice." "Which one did you like the best?" "The first." "Get up." "What do you want from me?" "You want to kiss me?" "You want to kiss me?" "You want to kiss me?" "You want to kiss me?" "Yes." "Then kiss my dick." "Put it in your mouth." "What are you doing?" "Maybe next time you'll kiss me on the mouth." "I haven't seen him since that day." "I've spent a gloomy summer full of choking tears waiting for a phone call that never came." "I wanted to vanish, to fly away very, very far lik e my father, to the other side of the world." "AUTUMN" "Don't make that face." "Relax!" "I'd like to see you in my place!" "After what happened he disappeared!" "Forget about him, he doesn't care about you." "I never said he cared about me, but I care about him." "And it gets worse every day." "Let's go." " Good morning." " Good morning." " Good morning." " Good morning." "Come in, young ladies." "We were very glad to wait for you, right?" "Roll!" " Abemo, Elisabetta." " Here." " Bozzini, Manuela." " Here." "Caldiron, Clelia e Leo." " Here." " Here." "De Angelis, Marco." "First day of school." "I'm so nerv ous." "A new student." "Good start!" "I must see him." "But he isn't here." "Holidays are over for everybody, except for him." "I am Marco De Angelis." "You know I should kick you out?" "No, too easy." "Come on in." "Find a place." "I try to hate him for what he did to me but I can't." "I still love him." "At the favourite seat." "They call it the Seat of Death." "He's so cool!" "What a loser!" "Ah, you're a tough one!" "Let's inaugurate the register." "With a nice three." "He doesn't know how much I lik e him." "Even though he humiliated me, I forgive him." "If I could hold him tight, just once, I'd mak e him understand." "Call me, my love." "Call me, call me call me..." " One..." " I'll go!" "...two three..." "Yes, it's morning here!" "I'll pass you to her right away." "And how are you?" "Melissa, run, it's Dad!" "Melissa!" "Open up!" "It's Dad!" "Why do you two always lock yourselves in there?" "Do you want to talk first to your mother or your daughter?" "Daddy, you know I dreamt about you?" "Yes, we were in Paris, but it was our house." "It'd be more practical if you used your own bathroom." " I'm being good." "But you be good too!" " At least don't lock yourselves inside." "No, I'm begging you!" "Please, don't smoke." " It bothers me in the bathroom." " I'm still waiting for your e-mails." "I'll quit right away!" "I'm smoking the last one!" "I'll pass you to her." "Hi, darling!" "Of course I'm taking my medicine." "Why do you always say the same thing?" "And then they say that old folks lose their minds!" ""Dear Diary, my family is a disaster." "Father is so far away, Mother doesn't understand a thing." "Thank God I've got Grandma and Manuela, my best friend."" "Slow down!" "You shouldn't be afraid with me!" "Ever!" "Okay, but be careful!" " You trust me?" " Yes, you're the best!" "I hate gym but I'm sure Manu hates it more than I do." "At least we don't have to study." "This year I want something different." "Every day at school I hope to see him." "It's happened twice already, in the hallway." "He didn't see me, or he pretended not to." "How strange, I feel my body much more than before." "I lik e it but with him I'd lik e it even more." "Did you get excited?" "Wow, you're well-equipped!" "Who would have thought?" "Relax, it's just envy." "I want him." "I'm so sure." "Yes, I went to see the one you suggested." "It looked like a prison!" "No, I found another one." "A luxury one." "Wait a moment." "Here it is!" ""Elegant ambience highly qualified medical personnel."" "Eighteen hundred euros." "No, I still haven't spoken to her about it." "You know it's not easy with her." "Why don't you speak to her?" "Okay, okay." "I'll try." "Melissa?" "Yes, she'll be upset at the beginning, but later..." "You know how children are." "Don't worry, I was firm about the moped but she always drives Manuela's." "She signed up for swimming lessons." "This time she's really going to learn." "Hello?" "Can you hear me?" "Hello?" "Elvira!" "I lent it to Melissa but now I need it." "I'm having tea with some friends." "How can you live with such a mess?" "At least in my own room I can do as I please, no?" "Here, this was in the living room." "Forgive me." "It won't happen again." "I promise." "How can you go out at this hour?" "Do you want me to come pick you up?" "Don't worry, I'll take the bus." "No, no, take a cab." "Cabs are expensive." "It's okay." "I'll pay for it, don't make me worry." "I have to talk to you but not now, you've got things to do." "Tell me, my friends will wait." " Did you take your pill?" " Yes." "No, I didn't take it." "But that's my business." "No, really it's our business also." "They are good for your heart." "My mum hates Grandma." "Sometimes I think it's because she's jealous of our relationship." "Thank God she can't interfere between Manu and me." "I adore her." "According to her, I need to be brave and talk to Daniele, face to face." "They said Daniele's already here!" "Look at me." "Look at me." "Look at me." "Look at me." "But you're Melissa!" "You've grown, I almost didn't recognize you." "How old are you?" "I'm almost 16." "Come." "Arnaldo, you remember Melissa?" "Melissa..." "You're also cute when dry." "Congratulations." "Let's toast to our reunion!" " Lavinia, babe?" "Everything okay?" " I want to leave." "This is annoying." "Did you think about me?" "I want to ask you something." "But not here." "Wanna come with me?" "Let's go." "You're even prettier than last summer." "Can I ask you a question?" "Do you want to kiss me?" "Are you still a virgin?" "Yes." "Do you want to do it with me?" "I want you so much." "Put this on." "I love you." "I love you." "I love you." "I don't love you." "You're an idiot." "Who asked you?" "Dad, dear Dad you can't imagine how much I'd lik e you to be here." "I would tell you to go to Daniele's house, to spit on his face to mak e him kneel, to beat him humiliate him as he did with me." "But why is it that only men can behave lik e that?" "From this moment on I swear that I too will do as they do." "I will think only of my pleasure." "I will treat them all the same." "Not caring for their feelings not caring who I have in front of me." "Your daughter, Melissa." "But no!" "What are you talking about?" "No, I know you, Daria." "You've already decided everything." "Actually, you know what I think?" "I'll probably feel more at home over there than here." "Your attention gets on my nerves." "I know it's sincere but it's irritating all the same." "I'm worried about Melissa." "She counts on me." "And on me!" "Are you sure?" "Why do you treat me like this?" "Are you sure I can smoke here?" " Lf not, I'm not going." " In theory you can't but everybody does, so they turn a blind eye." "Unfortunately." "You should quit." "You know how bad it is for you." "And you don't know how good it is for me!" ""Dear Diary, Mom has sent Grandma to a home."" " Damn, it's pouring!" " Give me the umbrella." ""She took the horrible decision without consulting me." "I don't mean anything to her." "But when Dad comes home for Christmas we'll tak e her back home and she will stay with us forever."" "Do you want to give me the umbrella?" "Elvira, what are you doing?" "You'll get soaked!" "Sweetheart, why are you doing this?" "You know Grandma has a heart condition." "She needs to be taken care of!" "Come on, out!" "Thank you." "Good morning." "Well, now what's the matter?" "Up, up child!" "Nice, no?" "Warm colours..." "The nurses are lovely." "I would almost come to stay myself!" "Where are the sockets?" "Ah, there's one..." " But the lamp's plugged." " It needs a double plug!" "Surely there is one." "Found it!" "There you go." " They're so organized!" " Aren't they?" "Home is where the radio is." "It has changed my life!" "Grandma..." "I'll go call the head nurse." "Melissa!" "Melissa, don't be sad." "Nothing will ever change between us." "You'll come visit whenever you want and I'll make you a marvellous cup of tea." "You really don't mind being here?" ""Paradise is where I am," your grandpa used to say." "A fantastically self-centred man!" "Here we go." "Watch how it's done." "Let's get rid of this shitty old lady blanket!" "See?" "It's something else entirely!" "Doesn't take a thing." "Grandma!" "Grandma!" "Don't cry, my treasure!" " It's not a goodbye!" " But you're the one who's crying!" "Music!" "Your favourites!" "Risotto with mushrooms or paella?" "Nothing." "Don't worry about me." "You only know how to hurt." "Sweetheart!" "Why do you treat me like this?" "What trouble did she give you?" "You should be happy now." "Finally your ashtrays will be clean." "You're angry with me?" "I adore Grandma!" "Without her the house will be empty." "Believe me, I'm sorrier than you are." "So let's go and bring her back, now!" "Sweetheart..." "She'll be happier there." "I met her neighbours." "Really nice people!" "Daddy would have never allowed it." "Yes, he would." "We decided it together." "Liar." "Melissa stay with me for a while." ""Dear Diary, my mother is a monster." "And my father?" "Did they agree?" "I can't believe it." "But if it were true...?" "I want to rebel but there's nothing I can do." "I don't count."" "How did it go with your grandma?" "I'm in the movies with my mother." "Boring!" "MANU" ""Now I'm alone." "Completely alone." "Rage, rage, rage." "Fury, rage, fury..."" "I can't believe it!" "There's the new guy, Marco!" "He's gorgeous!" "What do I do?" "Do I say hi?" "Why don't you answer?" "Okay..." "Remember that asshole from Italian interrogates us tomorrow." "Ciao!" ""Today is my birthday." "Mum gave me a present that I'll never open." "Dad called when I was out and did not try again." "To wak e up without Grandma is horrible." "The house is empty without her."" "No grades today."

""It's simple:" "Prov ok e, seduce, use and throw away." "Everyone tak es what they want."" "Do you believe?" "In what?" "In God, for example?" "Are you religious at home?" "My mother is my father isn't." "I..." "I don't know." "But you have to believe in something." "I'd like to think that there is a God." "To confide in someone who always listens." "Rather, who already knows everything so you don't have to explain anything." "Better than a diary!" "It would be nice if there were a God." "God can never betray you." "But Daniele can!" "If this was an immaturity test you would pass with flying colours." "You still thinking about him?" "If I were a boy I'd never let a girl like you get away." "Would you have loved me?" "Forever and ever." "I could smack him." "No, he did well." " To treat you that way?" " Now I know who he really is." "It's easy to be like him." "Come!" "I'll show you." "Hello." " Two milk shakes." " Do you have Banana Splits?" "No, I m sorry." "It's hot, no?" "Do you like that guy over there?" " That guy?" "Are you crazy?" " Would you do him?" "No way." "Me neither." "But he'd do me."

"Melissa!" "My love, my love..." "So, what happened to my armchair?" "Don't you like that one?" "It's much more comfortable." "It's ugly." "No, it's a very famous design." "One of Mrs. Adele's clients suggested it!" "How did you scratch yourself?" "It's nothing..." "What did you cook for me?" "Hang on." "It's almost ready!" "I just have to heat it up."

"He was telling me all the things that I had longed to hear for so long and I couldn't care less."" "I'm the only one who knows how beautiful you are." ""I'll go to that stupid party." "I'll be strong enough to show them all that I don't care about their little games anymore."" "Melissa!" "Melissa!" "Come here!" "Where are you going?" "You have to stay with me!" ""I've changed." "I wonder how Marco would draw me now."" "I'm really pleased." "You'll see how great it turned out." "I did my best so that you could see it before leaving." "Ah, I picked your tickets up." "You have a stopover in Frankfurt for a few hours, then Jiddah." "But did he say if I'll be able to go on the platform?" "Yes, he asked for special permission." "I would love to go with you but June is a wedding-filled month!" "But why don't you ask Mrs. Adele for a week off?" "Sweetie!" "Mrs. Adele has already been a dear." "She gave me two weeks off to oversee the work here." "And Dad will be so happy to spend time with you, just the two of you." "Mom!" "You like it?" "I found it in Grandma's room." "She was so beautiful." "She looks so much like you, sweetie."
