She is the toughest teacher we have in the whole school, which is saying a lot. She gives out twice the amount of homework and is always keen on giving three-paged essays. Thankfully, English is my favorite subject so I can deal with the work quite easily. Despite having the patience of a bull with anger issues, she is definitely the most popular teacher in the whole school, made famous by her smoking hot looks and gigantic ass where the long locks of her brown hair occasionally get stuck in between. I sighed as I wished I was able to just sit down quietly with the hassle.
"I am sorry ma'am, my alarm clock didn't wake me up again." she snorted in disbelief and rolled her blue eyes at me. «You know if you're going to make up excuses, you could at least make them good.» I sat down and kept quiet, it was safer that way. With no more incidents for the rest of class, my next three classes passed quickly
. Finally it was time for lunch where I can finally relax. I quickly grabbed my tray and hurried out of the cafeteria, towards the school gardens. I looked around to see if anyone was following me. Once I was sure no one had tailed me, I put my tray down on a table like contraption that I built my first year here. It's a pulley that takes my tray up to the top of the great oak tree where I was. As for me…that's a different story. I jumped onto the lowest branch of the tree and pulled myself up. From there up, it was easy. I moved through branches like a monkey, swinging and sliding until I came to the heart of the tree. There was a slight curve there where if you relaxed, seemed a bit like a comfortable chair. I slid down and sighed as I pulled my lunch up. I relaxed because no one ever came to the school gardens anymore since it was abandoned five years ago.

"Journey to the Center of the Earth" (French: «Voyage au centre de la Terre», also translated under the titles «A Journey to the Centre of the Earth» and «A Journey to the Interior of the Earth») is a classic 1864 science fiction novel by Jules Verne. The story involves German professor Otto Lidenbrock who believes there are volcanic tubes going toward the centre of the Earth. He, his nephew Axel, and their guide Hans descend into the Icelandic volcano Sn?fellsj?kull, encountering many adventures, including prehistoric animals and natural hazards, before eventually coming to the surface again in southern Italy, at the Stromboli volcano.
From a scientific point of view, this story has not aged quite as well as other Verne stories, since most of his ideas about what the interior of the Earth contains have since been disproved, but it still manages to captivate audiences when regarded as a classic fantasy novel.

Foi uma bela tarde ensolarada de inverno, como sempre eu tinha levado a ?ltima g?ndola at? o topo e agora estou sentado na montanha mais alta. Meu olhar cai sobre as montanhas brilhando no p?r-do-sol. De minha mochila tiro a junta que enrolei especialmente para este fim e a acendo. Os primeiros arranh?es na garganta, eu inalo profundamente e deixo a fuma?a em meus pulm?es, agora eu exalo.
Minha cabe?a fica livre e vazia. Sinto uma onda de relaxamento se espalhar da minha cabe?a sobre todo o meu corpo. Acima de mim uma grande ave de rapina circula e eu o observo. Ele parece majestoso, sinto seu poder, sua calma, seu equil?brio e imagino flutuar com ele pelo ar. Eu fumei o charro e tomei outro gole de ch? quente. Est? amanhecendo lentamente e eu tenho que descer para o vale.
Eu amo tanto fazer a ?ltima descida do dia em uma encosta solit?ria. Conhe?o a trilha, deslizei por ela milhares de vezes, conhe?o cada pequeno galo. Em minha mente eu me vejo oscilando pela encosta, encontrei meu ritmo, senti meu rastro e fechei meus olhos, porque assim posso sentir a neve ao meu redor, as nuvens acima de mim e as enormes montanhas, ainda melhor. Eu me levanto e entro em minhas amarras, o clique suave quando entro, aumenta minha antecipa??o para esta descida. Fecho os olhos, empurro com for?a com meus bast?es de esqui e come?o a deslizar. Ficou frio e a neve debaixo de mim, est? coberta por uma fina camada de gelo, o que faz um delicioso som nas bordas dos meus esquis a cada nova volta. Sinto-me bem, sou um com meus esquis, sinto a tens?o muscular em minhas pernas, tenho a sensa??o de voar, de flutuar.

O Cordula n?o era est?pido. Ela pensava que as pessoas que eram minhas amigas e as dela eram est?pidas. E no lugar de Cordula, eu teria d?vidas sobre se as pessoas que ela pensava serem est?pidas eram verdadeiras amigas. N?o, Cordula n?o era est?pido, Cordula era ing?nuo, na melhor das hip?teses. Talvez muito ing?nuo. E parecia aos meus amigos que eles tinham um desejo malicioso de lhe contar as verdades mais estranhas, porque Cordula tendia a acreditar nessas verdades duvidosas sem a menor apar?ncia de suspeita.
Conheci a amiga de Martina apenas por rumores, e fiquei surpreso com a imparcialidade com que ela aceitou as hist?rias mais imposs?veis pelo valor de face. Acho que n?o estava certo que Martina e Konrad lhe contassem constantemente alguns disparates, se divertissem e deixassem a pobre Cordula sozinha em seu irritado mundo emocional.
Gra?as a nossos amigos m?tuos, Cordula ficou com a impress?o errada de que eu tinha o luxo de duas namoradas e que ambas as senhoras, gra?as ? minha gest?o de tempo imbat?velmente perfeita, n?o faziam a menor id?ia uma da outra. Eles me descreveram como um bon vivant manhoso. Eu era um encantador, um gourmet, que entendia tanto sobre bom vinho e boa comida quanto eu entendia sobre a conquista de mulheres bonitas, a quem diziam que eu fazia t?o feliz com meu magn?fico galo de garanh?o em excessos libidinosos noturnos que, como mulher, voc? realmente n?o poderia experimentar uma satisfa??o mais completa do que ter me conhecido.

Eu tinha um controle aparentemente completo sobre Bettina e fiquei feliz em brincar com isso mais um pouco. A noite tinha corrido muito bem, nos divertimos muito e obviamente ela ficou impressionada comigo. Sua primeira maneira ansiosa e depois ingenuamente confiante me fez um bem verdadeiro. Olhando para mim mais apaixonada de olhar para olhar, minha autoconfian?a aumentava cada vez mais e ela agora estava obviamente completamente desfeita.
"Venha comigo, posso lhe mostrar algo", eu a peguei desprevenida e antes que Bettina pudesse dizer qualquer coisa, ela se deu conta de como estava nervosa. Da ponte sobre os barcos, puxei-a para a pequena estrada que corria ao longo do rio e subi por cima da cerca que separava o p?er da cal?ada. «O que voc? vai fazer?», perguntou ela. «Nunca h? ningu?m nestes barcos ? noite, j? estive aqui muitas vezes, vamos l?!», exigi. Ela subiu a cerca de forma um pouco estranha, de modo que ela me enfiou o rabo brevemente. Agora a tens?o passou por mim por um momento. Que figura! Olhando para seu belo rosto e suas m?os esbeltas, eu j? havia imaginado exatamente como seu corpo era moldado. Doce esperan?a passou pela minha mente. Os barcos estavam em tr?s filas lado a lado, ent?o tivemos que subir por cima de dois pequenos primeiro.

Fiquei furioso quando descobri os danos. O espelho retrovisor do meu carro novo estacionado tinha sido derrubado. Insatisfeito, joguei a parte quebrada no banco do passageiro, tirei algumas fotos dos danos com meu celular e dirigi at? a delegacia de pol?cia mais pr?xima.
O homem da esta??o escutou minha lam?ria calmamente e disse que enviaria algu?m diretamente para cuidar do meu problema. Infelizmente, isto tinha se tornado quase uma rotina di?ria na rua onde eu tinha estacionado, e ? por isso que os estacionadores de longo prazo tamb?m dobrariam em seus espelhos laterais como precau??o. Obrigado pela dica discreta. Resmungando comigo mesmo, eu agora me agachei no vest?bulo e esperei que meu colega chegasse.
"Voc? ? o cavalheiro com o espelho de asa quebrada?" Uma voz feminina gentil me despertou de meus pensamentos sombrios cheios de lux?ria assassina. Olhei para cima e uma jovem policial feminina estava de p? casualmente na porta, esperando pacientemente pela minha resposta. Eu resmunguei um «infelizmente» descontente e me levantei. Ela queria levar meus detalhes e os do meu carro primeiro antes de olhar os danos. Eu a segui at? um escrit?rio e respondi pacientemente ?s suas perguntas. Sua maneira calma e amistosa me ajudou a sair da palma da m?o e a processar esta dor sem fim. Um completo absurdo, mesmo que um novo espelho ala custasse bem mais de 200 euros, seria muito irritante, mas tal confus?o ? indigna de um homem de verdade.
