I tried to keep it professional. Every morning I quietly greeted her in english only to be later mocked by my friends for speaking a "posh" language. I would teach her bits and pieces of spanish and practice pronounciations. But the hours were long and unlike the ex exchange student, the girls would not approach her as much as I expected. So we started talking a little. Small complaints about people and the weather. Back then I was short on money so she started bringing me food she made, as a reward for me helping her. But we were only friends, even less than that. I was just a practical and convinient translator/dictionary ....Then on christmas we were left alone for quite some time. I thought it was going to be a five minute chat, a bit of drinking and back to staring at our phones. It felt like five minutes for both of us until we saw the clock and saw that several hours went by. Time no longer was a dread.
