Cornelia Păun Heinzel : “ALEX”

The teacher asks a brunette teenager which come to the desk:

 - How's Alex ?
  -Miss, his apartment door is always  closed. Nobody answers I have heard that heard interned somewhere. He didn’t Know anything about his mother anymore since she has gone  abroad after his father. His uncle taks care of  him now”.
- Uncle? Alex has no uncle, exclaimed a black-sish teen.

The teacher was thinking that he know Alex when he was a student in the twelfth grade, at the college. He was a beautiful boy, he was  brunette, slim, gentle and good. Because of this, his classmates were beating him daily. They were hitting him in the head with fists or and harsh objects. Alex was enduring the violence to which he was subjected because he had gotten used to it in the four years of highschool. He knew that in this era, all the nice students from almost every school was treated this way. The kids were asking for his help only when their computers were broken. Then the boy was happy to help them.

  - I know how to work with computers, miss. I know how to repair every computer or every  phone", was saying Alex with pride.

The teacher had thought that he was only boasting with these performances, like every other kid in his class. But she had seen him solving a problem when a computer from the laboratory had broken. She has her opinion  since.

- My father thought me how to repair computers. He was latting me dismantle them. I had also broken some computers. But it was not in voice. Now I am very skilled now. My father is better them me. He is good at all. He repairs the defections of every vehicle.

   Alex's mother, a fifty-year-old woman, very faithful, came to school one day and told the teacher:

 - Everything we and I are doing for Alex," she said. For him we to sacrifice, for  he to have a good life in his life.
Alex told the teacher that he is pleased because he was hired in a program with corporatists. He is going to work with them and get payed. - I work in the tower block with the glass walls. I feel bad because I’ll soon be is and I won’t correspond with the program’s terms. Alex's mother told her friends to take him to the parties they frequently hold. The young man went to the parties , but he didn’t stay for long. There was the some atmosphere as in .In the next months, the teacher found out from Alex that his father had found a well payed job in the UK and he had left the  country.
- Do you frequently talk to him ? the teacher asked, knowing that there was a strong connection between him and his father. He is an idol for Alex. Alex loves him because he always helps him and  he’s always there for him".  “I'm always happy with you, dad”, said Alex. I have the most wonderful father in the world ! ".
 - We talk on the Internet, miss. It's a place with English women who drink more than the drunk men from here. Dad doesn’t stop admiring them. It gets lots of money. But he is amazed that some women can drink so much alcohol. I'll go there after my graduation,after the exam=my baccalaureate.

 They talked on the Internet for a few months, but all of a sudden they stopped. The family didn’t get the money that were regulary sent by the man.

Alex's mother was the most frightned=scared. They didn’t have anyoner money. Money that was used for them to live, to reise their boy new, when they needed it the most for Alex was in the lost year at highschool.

The women vent at the church them, where she was going regulary, to meet the man that had sent her husband  in the UK. Alex was calling him “uncle”.

 -Please, tell me, where he is and I’ll go after him," said the women desperate.
Once home, Alex's mother was getting reedy for a long trip.
- I'm going after your father. You be good, learn to school and do work homework. I'll be back soon with your father   and with the money. 
That was the lost time when Alex had seen her. He hadn’t heard anything about her since that day, and neither about his father.
 A few months had past. The money he had, left behind by his mother, was almost gone although the boy had saved a lot of it  He payed the bills and ate a little, only not to starve. A The baccalaureate exam does he not appear. He tried to find some job=work, because he knew to work with computers and mobile phones. But his only clients were his classmates. He was repairing their computers only , without recieving one money. 
The offer in the program where he was getting money by working with the corporaists, was no longer available because he was already eighteen.
It was Christmas Eve. The young boy was very hungry  and nobody was trying to help him. Alex se gândi că o soluţie ar fi omul, căruia el îi zicea unchi şi în care părinţii săi aveau încredere foarte mare :  Alex thought that a solution would be the man, whom he called his uncle, and in which his parents trusted very much:
- Mister, where are my parents? Where is my mother ? Where is my father ? What happened to them? You certainly=surely know where you sent them.
- How could I know, boy? Your father, handsome as he was =as beautiful , probably found a woman in England and has to make other children just like you. And your mother probably found another man as well... What do you think ? That only you matter in this world ? - No way=It's not possible ! My mother was not like that. She loved me so much.   

Same with my father. He wouldn’t have left me for nothing in the world. I think something bad happened to them and they can’t not communicate with me. I don;t have money to go there, so I can’t find out what happened to them. Please, sir, you can ! Help me ! Alex said with pain in his voice

- Do you see these huge packets? Said the man, pointing to a pile of boxes. Help me to load the truck. If you want to eat, work ! You have no choice=other solution !

 Alex looked at the boxes, scared and although his slim structure was not fit for the job, he carried all the boxes. At the end of his activity, the man brought him a casserole with mashed potatoes.

 - You eat something. You're probably hungry. Wath do you want to do you with the appartament ? Give me the key. I will toke care of it from now on.

 Alex gave him the keys of the apartament.
  - But where will I live from now on? 

- No problem ! Come with me ! said the man and took Alex to the warehouse.

 -You stay here, he said showing him an old bed. Get some rest ! You’ll have to work hard tomorrow ! and he closed and locked with the key.

  The young man was scared. Then Alex understood that Berevoieşti he read about recently on the Internet was not an isolated case, on the contrary ...

On the train platform, at the arrival, their mothers and grandmothers were waiting for them - because two of students of the group, were orphans, they were raised by them. Happy because their children, were coming from the seaside being accommodated at a luxury hotel, for free, a place where the food no chance to take them, because of the financial possibilities; that in why they got them this campfor free.
The teens appeared weak, angry and with saddened faces.

- Did you enjoy the sea? asked one of them out of curiosity. And a boy answered :
-We didn’t like in at all ! The sea great stinking ! And we are so hungry ! We almost starwed to death

The women rugged their beloved children.

And Clementin was shouting so loudly that all the people on the platform could hear :

-Mom, when we arrive home, you must prepare five pots  of fries ! And we’ll buy some snacks and bake rolls ! Like home !

- So, how was it, boys ? asked the teacher of the class. I struggled to obtain free tickets for you… I hope you ate and had a lot of fun...

-No, miss. We didn’t know it would be this bad in the camp at the seaside. I will never go again in my life ! I think I’ve lost ten pounds ! We almost starved to death ! consurred Clementin.

In Greece, the group arrived at night at the place where they get the room, in the Motel that station.

The coordinator of the educational programm met them with hospitality.

First, they=the young people went into they hotel rooms, then they went in the restaurant, to have lunch.

They finished lunch=eating and they went back=retired. Suddenly, the quietness of the hotel=the hotel's silence was interrupted by the sound of a broken glass, by screams and by dancing music, to the fullest. The teenagers started the party. No tourist in the hotel will not sleep. They were all participating without they Knouing at the teenagers’ fun. The walls of the building were vibrating because of the rhythms, that the teenagers liked, because of the sound of strident laughter and wild screeming. The norty went an until the morning. At the breakfast, no student appeared.

They ware all sleeping, without any chance of wake un before lunch.

Adela, the teacher, was happy that in the group that she was responsible of, were only boys, so she hed less care. Her happiness, ended shortly.

Matthew, his colleague, got a his fever. They put a thermometer and ... stupor!
He had forty degrees! It had to bring in a doctor !
Adela was happy that in she had the chance to visit some remarkable monuments from Greece. But the boys from the group weren’t excited about the idea.

- The girls? They don’t want an the beach too ? the woman was surprised.
- No, teacher. They were at the solar and … already perfectly tanned, said one of the boys.

Adela had to remain in the hotel, because she had to watch of her the students. The teenagers spent large sums money, satisfying all their desires, buying souvenirs.

The food at the hotel was delicious, but they have completed it with sweets and sodas. They also had alcoholic drinks, but the boss=chief program took them from the start and stopped them at the reception, and promised them that he will give them back when they will leave.
The evening came hard. Adela was bored watching, after the teenagers=young mens. She was sending messages on Facebook, contacting almost all of her family...
Suddenly, she began to hear powerful Knaks an the door.

I know what you can do! If one is killed, it is serious, there is an international scandal ! said the woman worried woman.

Nu pot şti de ce sunt în stare turiştii străini din hoteluri să facă !

But this is an unusual situation. The employees of the hotel surely recognize them, they are different and we will know where they are.
The program coordinator called the reception of the neaby hotels and transmitted without knowing, if one of the girls in the new group went into a room, with the foreign tourists.
After a short time, the phone rang.

The woman quick’y said hurriedly to Adela:
- We’re going to the hotel in the middle of the town. They’re found there one of the girls. In front of the building was a taxi that started at they in order to the place that they were looking for.                                   -Go to the seventh floor, room 723, where an Arab tourist was, the hotel's receptionist said. You will be accompanied by our director.
The women get there and the man opened the door of the room hotels with a magnetic card and ... in front of then appeared a slim, blond, beautiful girl. în braţele unui bărbat de vreo cincizeci de ani, cu pielea închisă la culoare, amândoi dezbrăcaţi...

Fata începu să ţipe isteric, de parcă ar fi fost atacată :

- O să vedeţi voi ce o să vă facă tata, când îi voi spune !

 Arabul urlă violent. Nu înţelegea de ce erau deranjaţi în intimitatea lor. Adolescenta cu care era,venise de bună voie. Chiar ea l-a agăţat în piscina hotelului în care fusese el la cină, fiind în vizită la un cunoscut, cazat acolo şi cu care servise împreună masa.

Fata l-a vizitat întâi pe prieten şi omul a fost foarte mulţumit de prestaţia adolescentei. Îi povestise cu lux de amănunte, cum se distrase şi tot ce a făcut cu ea.

The manager of the hotel politely apologized and explained the situation. The girls reuned,  coming with the school into a educational program and they were not over years old. If  they told heren whe…  was the girl’s father we can’t imagine u hot was the reaction of the man.

The phone rings again.

When they opened the door of the room, the manager, accompanied by the women, saw a drunk black,….  with a superb, beautiful brunette also trunk,…in the same condition.
With they was much easier. than yhe other case. Both of themwere laughing, as if something funny happened. The girl was driven quickly to the hotel in her room. And the black guy fell a slept

The other girls were found one by one. In the morning they were king their apperence when the teachers saw that they have completed the mission. They were tired but happy at the same time with what they have done.

The bodyguards of the hotel got severe instructions, to strictly guarding the girls, who come with an the religious education program. He let the girls party for all the nights.

The walls of the hotel were vibrating because of the music for for five nights and days in Greece, music, fun and joy, exactly how long the programme lasted in Greece. The cute guys were thinking to un sunrise the teacher so they went to the beach.

The teacher sat under the sunshine, went in the began Sea and the teenagers played in the fine sand, in a deep pit , because one of them said that it will be fun . They book a selfie and posted they ‘re photos on face-book. But the return had its adventures. They had to stay at the customs for a long time, but they were happy when they arrived home.
