Characteristics of Adriana
Sandra is a new girl that arrived a week ago at the school where Cristina and Adriana learn. Sandra comes from a school in the countryside and now she has just moved to a very big city. She is in sixth grade.
Cristina and Adriana are two very special friends. It is a friendship they are sworn forever, as teenagers often make. They have known each other for a very long time, since they started first grade. Cristina is the best of the class. Adriana studies quite a lot as well, but she doesn't get the same results and she is somehow envious of Cristina for this reason.
These two friends are always together. After they finish school they go to a course of classical dance together. Cristina has chestnut hair, and she is tall and slender, while Adriana is blonde with some kilos too much, which she thinks she can eliminate by doing sport.
Adriana's parents are workers in a factory. Her dad is always nervous because his employer has been talking about the hypothesis of his dismissal, and he fears he might lose his job and become poor.
When her father realizes that his daughter Adriana is not very good at school, he becomes angry with her because he thinks that if one day, when she is an adult, she doesn't have suitable studies, she will also become just a worker and spend a difficult life.
Adriana doesn't understand the problems of the adults. She doesn't think about her future as an adult, she always thinks about her love, a classmate, Adrian. She continuously writes him dedications in her diary, also in class, and for this she is sometimes taken back by the teachers. Adrian knows nothing of the love of Adriana, he is rather attracted by Cristina, because she is better at school and also nicer.
Cristina has promised to Adriana that she will help her 'conquer' Adrian. In fact, Cristina has surrendered her place in class near Adrian.
Nevertheless for Adrian nothing changes, he remains only attracted by Cristina and that is it.
Adriana has understood that she will never succeed in conquering Adrian and broods a deep, even if hidden, jealousy more and more, toward her friend.
One day at the school exit Adriana races for the bus, which departs in advance, and in the rush her diary drops from her backpack. Cristina, who was following her, but lives next to the school, picks up the diary and tries to stop Adriana, but by now she is already in the bus returning home.
Cristina takes the diary home and plans to deliver it to Adriana the following day in class. For this she sends her a message by mobile phone.
Cristina should not read the diary, but curiosity is too strong and she spends the whole evening discovering the secrets of her friend of the heart. It is not be an easy reading, she now understands that Adriana has been brooding, for a long time now, a hot-tempered envy toward her.
The next day Cristina delivers the diary to Adriana, obviously telling her that she has not even tried to peep at those precious sheets.
That same day however Sandra arrives in class. Cristina usually helps the classmates in difficulty and also in this case she tries to explain the new lessons and the new teachers to Sandra. Cristina spends time with Sandra more and more, also because she doesn't succeed in forgetting the ugly things that she has read in the diary of Adriana and for this she tries to avoid her.
Adriana however doesn't understand why Cristina is getting further from her and by now her anger becomes more and more uncontrollable. At school she is not careful to the lessons any longer, she starts to bring home bad marks and her father becomes angrier and angrier. Up to this point Adriana thinks that the things are going badly for her because Cristina doesn't want her anymore.
