It was during that journey to Via Orazio that I began to be made unhappy by my own alienness. I had grown up with those boys, I considered their behavior normal, their violent language was mine. But for six years now I had also been following daily a path that they were completely ignorant of and in the end I had confronted it brilliantly. With them I couldn__ use any of what I learned every day, I had to suppress myself, in some way diminish myself. What I was in school I was there obliged to put aside or use treacherously, to intimidate them. I asked myself what I was doing in that car. They were my friends, of course, my boyfriend was there, we were going to Lila__ wedding celebration. But that very celebration confirmed that Lila, the only person I still felt was essential even though our lives had diverged, no longer belonged to us and, without her, every intermediary between me and those youths, that car racing through the streets, was gone. Why then wasn__ I with Alfonso, with whom I shared both origin and flight? Why, above all, hadn__ I stopped to say to Nino, Stay, come to the reception, tell me when the magazine with my article__ coming out, let__ talk, let__ dig ourselves a cave that can protect us from Pasquale__ driving, from his vulgarity, from the violent tones of Carmela and Enzo, and also__es, also__f Antonio?
