Now a disease is raging in the world, which has taken many lives with it. Before quarantine I made friends with a new girl in my class. She was beautiful, unusual, she was bright and amazing as a black sheep. Quarantine has been announced. I was bored and also felt blue , because I couldn't get along with twins. But..... One day I got a text message from my friend. I was surprised, she did not write me for a long , probably two weeks. However, she did not give me an explanation for such a long absense. It turns out that I have to complete five tasks that she wants. I agreed. At first message she said me that I should read " Little women" by Louise May Alcott. At first I didn't want to, I thought why should I read an old book, but then.... It turns out that my friend is very much like Jo, but she is more festrained. In my opinion , she also has the quality of Meg and Amy, especially Beth. I even remembered the quote :" When you feel unhappy think about what you have and be gfateful for it". But I understood the meaning of this words much later. The second assignment required me to watch Japanese anime " Grave of the fireflies". In order not to offend my friend I watched. After watching , I couldn't stop the tears. Probably, this wonderful cartoon opened the way of animation and the world of Hayao Miyazaki to me. Once it was announced that we will study at a distance , that is at home. Arter this announcement the third task came immediately " Learn to solve logatithms". I was having big problems with math. I couldn't figure out how to dolve logarithmic equations. But my friend.... She perfectly explained this topic to me , even with SMS. My friend... She did not answer the phone , even her parents ignored my calls, because of this I was very worried. When I asked why she wasn't answering my calls , she just changed the subject. But I knew that something was wrong with her. The fourth task came in which it was said that I should get along with the twins. Well, I thought it was impossible. Finding a common language with the little sisters was a real torment for me. They were capricious, cried a lot and threw their LEGO everywhere. Of course, my friend sent me "Step -by -step instructions" and it helped me to get along with them. I waited three days for the last task. This assignment was sent as a package. Opening the box, I found watercolors and brushes. She wanted me to learn how to paint with watercolors. It was difficult for me, because I drew only with pencils. My friend didn't answer me. I called her non-stop, but it was all in vain. But once her father answered me and said.... I couldn't believe it. How could this happen? Eventually, during the quarantine I learned to read the world classics, during the quarantine I opened the world of Hayao Miyazaki, I learned to solve logarithmic equations , I was able to get along with my sisters..... During the quarantine I lost my best friend. My blue-eyed friend suffered from endocardial fibroelastosis, which made her a target for the coronavirus. I would like to thank her for opening up a new world for me. Zarifa( Tooth fairy)

This event happened two years ago, but for me like yesterday. I remember everything in detail. It was a hot July day , because of this, all windows were open. We live on the first floor. The girls' room that is mine and sister, is the largest in the house. To be honest , I myself chose a place for my bed. It is located next to the window . I woke up after the crying of my younger sister. She just roared, even mom could not calm her down. In the opposite site of mine there is a huge mirror through you can see the other side of our room. I look in the mirror and see the second blinds , which , of course, did not move. But.... I turned the other way and look.... My blinds are moving, as if a strong wind is happening now. Again I look forward to at least the slightest movement from the second blinds, but it did not even more. I turned again and looked. Someone holding the bars , moved the blinds , I see only the silhouette of this creature. The head was egg-shaped, his veins were visible. It covered his entire body , but... There was no clothes in it. A huge searchlight acted behind him, but even in this light I could not see his face. It just wasn't there. It turns out that in these minutes we will not even be able to utter a word. I fell abruptly and quickly rushed to my mom . I barely explained to my parents , because they did not believe me . When I entered my parents' bedroom , my sister, who is only two years old, immediately grabbed me. When we got there this creature was gone. Dad scolded me that I confused a dream with reality and my mother just consoled me. But only person who knew and felt about was my sister. After all, people say that children have a sixth sense. When the danger had already passed, my sister let me go and she with my parents returned to the bedroom . The next day I went out and saw the place where the man was standing behind the bars. It had to be two and a half meters long to reach my window . I closed this window and it never opened agan. Zarifa(Tooth fairy) From author:It is my first story.
