TRANSLATION: Eva’s letter to Giovanni (Skam Italia, Season 4)
“42.721 hours. It’s the time that has passed since we have met. I just counted it. The first time we met, was on the first day of school. I saw you from a distance while they were making our class and I was hoping they’d say your name. And then they did. We became classmates, then friends, hiding lovers and… lovers. But at the end, (we became) just two people ignoring each other every day. When we went to the lake for our 100 days (before graduation), I was looking at you and thought of the fact that we don’t talk anymore now. But at the same time, though, I thought that without me and you there would never be that group of people that formed little by little around us. People who would have never, not even remotely thought to be in the same room and now they love each other to death and have in a way matured and got bigger together. Sometimes I wonder if we’ll see each other again after graduating high school. Or I wonder if everyone will pass the exam or if someone will fail… haha who knows. Who knows if we’ll see each other again when we’ll be in different universities, in different cities, different paths. It’s possible we’ll lose each other little by little, without even realizing it. We’ll persuade ourselves of keeping contact by watching each other’s Instagram stories and sometimes we’ll have reunion dinners to which, half of us, will decide to not come last minute. But let’s try to not make it happen, to waste everything we have done. All the tears, the fights, pranks, all the times we have screwed up together. Let’s try, goddamn. One time you wrote in a essay that we all believe one day we’ll go up to the sky and we don’t realize that between us there is the ceiling. But I was thinking that, if we all jump at the same time together, maybe we’ll break this ceiling. Do you want to try?”
