<h2>Linda Schmidt Gymnasium</h2>
<p>
	This is the school you have been visiting for the last seven years.    
</p>

<p>
	The school day is rather uneventful.
	The teachers are aware that, since every student who is here already has passed their final test, they can't really motivate you to follow their standard program.
	Therefore they show you movies with questionable educational value, let you play games or just let you chat with each other til their time is over.
</p>
<p>
	You speak with the two guys who are sitting next to you. They aren't really your friends, you haven't ever seen them outside of school.
	But at least they gave you the feeling that you weren't completely alone.
</p>
<p>
	<<say 'male' 'So, what will you do after today?'>> Gordon is a muscular men, almost one head taller than you. He'd propably be popular with the girls if it wasn't for his edgy personality.
	<<say 'male' 'Visit my grandparents. They are living in Austria, near Rijeka. The plane goes in three hours.'>> Christopher is pretty much the opposite of Gordon.
	He is small and has almost no muscles. Even though he is 19 years old, he doesn't look older than 15. 
</p>
<p>
	You don't pay close attention as Christopher continues to tell the two of you how nice his life will be for the next weeks.
	Instead, you watch the five girls who sit three rows in front of you.
	One of them is <<npc 'tom_chelsea'>><</npc>>, the girl you had a crush on since you met her for the first time almost four years ago.
</p>
<p>
	<<npc 'tom_chelsea'>><</npc>> and her friends are talking about a party they want to go to tonight, this much you can understand from your current position.
	Damn, what would you give to go to this party?
	You have been too much of a coward to tell <<npc 'tom_chelsea'>><</npc>> how you feel about her and this might be the time you see her for quite a while.
</p>
<p>
	Suddenly, she looks up and your eyes meet.
	Damn, did she realize that you were listening.
	You quickly look away.
	Double damn, maybe this was your chance to be a man and just smile at her confidently.
	You look back up and see her smiling at you, before turning back to her friends.
</p>
<p>
	Well, this went goodish. Maybe there's some hope left? Now you really need to get to this party.
	But where is it? You can't ask her in front of all of her friends. This would just be too much for you.
	You look to your left. Gordon has started doodling on his table and Christopher still brags about how big his gradfathers summer house is.
	Those two won't be any help.
</p>
<p>
	Maybe you'll have a chance after the lesson is over.
	Maybe she'll be alone then.
	The chances aren't good, but you don't have any better idea.
</p>

<p>
	When the gong rings to signal the end of the lesson, the students start out to rush out of the classroom.
	<<npc 'tom_chelsea'>><</npc>> and her friends are among the first to leave.
	How do you catch up to them now?!
</p>
<p>
	You wish Christopher and Gordon good luck in their future and see them off with a manly handshake before hurrying out the classroom.
	<<npc 'tom_chelsea'>><</npc>> is nowhere to be seen.
	This was your last chance you you blew it.
</p>
<p>
	<<say 'tom_dan' "Looking for something, loser?">> You haven't noticed <<npc 'tom_dan'>><</npc>> who was walking right after you.
	Usually, you'd stay out of his way.
	Some people say that he's a psychopath who only avoids getting into trouble because of his charme and, more importantly, his fathers wealth.
	You don't know if that's true, but there's something about him that tells you that you don't want to find out.
</p>
<p>
	He laughs at you as you turn around angrily. <<say 'tom_dan' "Relax. You can take a small joke, do you.">> He claps you on your shoulder.
	You don't know if that's supposed to be a friendly or an intimidating gesture. Maybe it's both.
</p>
<p>
	<<say 'tom_dan' `"In fact, I know exactly what you're looking for. I've seen the way you looked at cute "+$npc('tom_chelsea').firstname+"."`>>
	He laugs out. It's not a comforting laugh.
	<<say 'tom_dan' "Have you seen the way she looked back at you? So adorable. Did you know that she will be at my party tonight? Why don't you join us? Maybe she'd be happy to see you there.">>
	This almost sounds too good to be true.
	<<npc 'tom_dan'>><</npc>> hands you an invitation with his adress on the back.
	<<say 'tom_dan' "I'll be expeting you. Don't dissapoint yourself.">>
