An epic day was awaiting them.
"Good morning!", said Ekaterina.
Dmitry was awake, but he lied down on the bed because he didn't want to get up.
Ekaterina caressed his hair, which was totally messed up because he moved a lot in the bed.
Dmitry smiled, and asked: "Are we going to play this game again?"
Ekaterina smiled even more and replied: "Of course we are! But first, let's go outside!"
Dmitry agreed, and they went to the kitchen, and asked Anna (Ekaterina's mom) that they were going to have a walk in Svetlanskaya Street, which was not far away from her (Ekaterina's) house. Anna recommended them to bring their mobiles with them. They agreed. Then they went outside.
"It's still hot!", said Dmitry.
"It's better than yesterday, right?", said Ekaterina
"Not quite. It's hot for being eight in the morning!", replied Dmitry.
It was 21 °C (70 °F). The temperature was a bit above average. The last afternoon it was 32 °C (90 °F).
"At least you can stay outside, right?", said Ekaterina.
"It's not that bad, let's go!", said Dmitry.
They started moving away from home and walked the streets. They were happy to stay outside. It was not very crowded, but there were lots of teenagers walking the streets.
Everyone seemed so busy. It looked like they needed to relax. After some minutes, they reached Svetlanskaya Street. There were a lot of buildings. There were a lot of cars. There were also a lot of things to do, eating was one of them, but Ekaterina wasn't very hungry. They could buy something, but Dmitry wasn't very happy to spend money. The people were unknown to them, they were strangers. They couldn't talk about "private" things, because they were in a public place. Maybe it wasn't a good idea going outside, but still, it was a social time for them. Having a good relationship with relatives is important. Dmitry and Ekaterina sometimes went to this street with their friends, but never with each other, so it felt a bit awkward.
"What will we do, now?", asked Dmitry
"I don't know, let's just walk around, I like it", replied Ekaterina
"Alright, so, we don't have a goal?", said Dmitry
"Why should we? We're just walking around", said Ekaterina
"I don't know, but I feel like we have to do something", said Dmitry
"We can go to watch a movie", suggested Ekaterina
"Alright, at least we have something to do", agree Dmitry
"Nice! Do you know which movies are going to be projected?", asked Ekaterina
"I don't have a clue, we can't look it up in the Internet!", said Dmitry
"I know, I know!", said Ekaterina
She checked, and there was an animated 3D movie to be projected at 10:00 A.M.
They decided to go there later. While they were walking the streets, Ekaterina saw some friends of hers.
"Hi Ekaterina!", said Nataliya
"Hi!", said Ekaterina, with a cute voice, and then she hugged her.
Nataliya was used to Ekaterina's hugs, so she hugged back.
Ekaterina then hugged the other three: Elena, Igor and Sergei.
They all knew her and the fact that she hugged everyone she saw, so they weren't surprised and hugger her back.
"Do you want to come at my house, later?", asked Ekaterina
"All of us?", asked Nataliya
"Of course! We'll have fun, you'll see! I have a lot of videogames!", said Ekaterina
"Alright, at what hour do you want us to come?", asked Nataliya
Ekaterina suddenly remember she and Dmitry had to play that "game" (the one they played the day before and Dmitry lost) and then she replied "At four o' clock in the afternoon!"
"We'll come", replied Nataliya
"Do you want to stay with us, now?", asked Ekaterina
"Of course! When friends meet randomly, they have to stay with each other!", replied Nataliya.
"Great! Do you know Dmitry, right? He's my cousin!", asked Ekaterina
"Of course I know, we met the last time! Hi Dmitry!", said Nataliya
The other three greeted him quickly. They knew him, but not very much. They were more Ekaterina's friends than Dmitry's.
"What kind of games have you got?", asked Sergei.
Sergei loved videogames, especially first-person shooters, which Ekaterina had many. He wasn't in for a surprise, though, because he knew Ekaterina's tastes in gaming.
"A lot! Really! Doom, Resident Evil, Medal Of Honor, God Of War, Battlefield, Call Of Duty, Halo, Tekken, Street Fighter, King Of Fighters, Soul Calibur, Mortal Ko...", was starting Ekaterina, that wasn't even 1% of her videogame series.
"Enough! I like those games, you're right, we'll have fun!", admitted Sergei, interrupting her.
Ekaterina hugged Sergei for no reason, he hugged back, but he stopped the hug 3 seconds later. It was very hard to hug "common people" for much time, especially in public contests. And it was 3 second long because Sergei knew she hugged a lot, so he was used to her hugs. Teenagers that didn't know her would have probably refused to hug her. Ekaterina didn't like the fact that people were reluctant to hug each other, so she was trying to change the world, but it was very hard. She loved hugs very much.
"I've never been in your house, but judging by your videogames, it won't be bad", admitted Igor.
Igor liked those games, too, but he didn't play them a lot, unlike Sergei, which spends a lot of time playing those games, just like Ekaterina.
"Sorry for ruining it, but, what are we going to do apart of playing videogames?", asked Elena.
"Anything you want, really!", replied Ekaterina.
Elena didn't reply. She thought she was going to be bored, but she agreed to go at her house anyway.
"Ekaterina's very good at playing Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2!", said Dmitry, popping out of nowhere.
"I hope so! I want a worthy opponent!", said Sergei, blinking.
"I'll be! It's a pity that only four of us can play at a time!", replied Ekaterina
"Well, the first round will be me, you, Igor and Nataliya, ok guys?", said Sergei
"I'm not that good at playing videogames", admitted Igor
"Well, I can try", said Nataliya
They were 6, so they couldn't play all together.
"It will be All vs All!", said Ekaterina
Everyone agreed
"And, what will we do after playing videogames?", asked Elena
"What do you want to do?", asked Ekaterina
"I don't know: maybe dancing, listening to music, drawing, I don't know", said Elena
She wasn't sure what she was going to do, though.
"I know what kind of music do you like, pop music! That's not what I like! I like Metal music, but we can listen to the music you listen to anyway, if you want. Drawing? That might be ok! But I know a fun thing to do: HUGGING!", said Ekaterina, making a cute voice while saying "Hugging", and giggling at the thought of hugging her friends for a lot of time.
"Are you joking, right?", said Elena. She wasn't sure if she was serious, but, as seen the day before, when Ekaterina says something, she means it.
"Nyet! No! I'm not joking!", said Ekaterina, making a big smile.
"I don't think anyone of us wants to hug so much", said Elena.
"Well, maybe we can hug a little...", admitted Igor. He liked the idea of hugging Ekaterina, but she was waiting her to propose it, because he was a little shy to propose it himself.
"Igor's right! Nothing's wrong with hugging!", said Ekaterina, and then she hugged him.
He hugged her back, but pulled away after about 5 seconds, because it was a public place and he was too shy. "I'll hug her longer when I'll go in her house, I don't want to be shy!", thought Igor.
"Me and Dmitry will watch a movie later, at 10:00 A.M. Who wants to come with us?", asked Ekaterina.
"Me!", said Sergei
"Me too!", said Nataliya
"I'll come with you!", said Igor
"What kind of movie is it?", asked Elena
"It's an animated 3D movie, watch the trailer!", said Ekaterina, showing her the trailer
Elena was making a disgusted face (it was quite fake, though), saying: "But this is for kids! We're not kids! Why are we going to watch this thing?"
"It's not for kids! Just because it's animated doesn't mean it's for kids!", said Ekaterina
"I'll go watching it with you, but don't expect me to like it! It still looks like a kids' movie to me!", said Elena
"It's not, trust me!", said Ekaterina
"Ekaterina said it! It's not for kids! It will be a funny movie! And you like Twilight, I don't. Everyone's different!", said Igor
"Igor's right again! Just like Music! I like Metal, you like Pop! It would be boring if we all liked the same things!", said Ekaterina, hugging Igor to show him she agrees.
Like the other times, he hugged her back and stopped the hug after 4 seconds.
"I'm glad you are my friends! Some people don't want to be my friends", said Ekaterina
"Because you hug too much!", said Elena
"Well, it's just the way I am", replied Ekaterina, proudly
"If she wants to hug people, let she do it, as long as the other person wants to", said Igor
"Thanks Igor!", said Ekaterina
"But she gives too many hugs! It's annoying after a while!", said Elena
"Oh, I love hugs! I can't stop", said Ekaterina, smiling
"You're so different than me", said Elena, lowering her voice
"I know! But we are still friends! Isn't that beautiful?", said Ekaterina
Elena smiled, and said: "It is"
Ekaterina was starting to get touched, and wanted to hug her, but she wasn't sure if she wanted to hug as well, so she asked: "Can I give you a hug?", smiling
Elena thought it was rude to not hug her in that moment, so she agreed, she kind of hugged her back, but it lasted less than a second and wasn't very excited. At least she hugged her: Elena's hugs were very rare.
"Hey! Elena's hugging! It will surely snow tomorrow, and we're in August!", said Sergei, joking, pointing that Elena never hugs anyone.
"Shut up! I did it because if she doesn't get a lot of hugs, she would die of hug starvation, I don't know..", said Elena, joking.
Ekaterina laughed at her joke, saying: "Yeah! Maybe you're right!"
Everyone smiled
"Does anyone else want a hug from me?", asked Ekaterina, smiling a lot
"Me!", said Sergei, smiling as well
Ekaterina and Sergei hugged for about 2 seconds.
Igor wanted a hug as well, but he was still a little shy. He was fighting against his shiness, but he still couldn't ask her for a hug.
"Hey guys! It's 09:50 A.M.! We're going to miss the movie! Let's go!", said Dmitry
They were going to the theater.
An epic movie was awaiting them.
