Thomas collapsed on his bed. He needed to talk to someone. He found his found his phone and decided to call Manuel, though he wasn ´t really interested in Thomas´s love life.

„Manuel! I´m the happiest person alive!!“ Thomas yelled.

„Uh..what happened?“ Manuel sounded tired.

„I can´t believe it...shit...it is only a dream...OUUCH!“

„What have you just done?“

„I pinched myself! It is not a dream...Yoohoo! I´m so happy! I´m so happy. I need to find a playlist of happy songs on youtube!“

„Will you finally tell me what happened?“

„Do you remember Mario Gomez? The hot footballer? Tall, dark hair, perfect blue eyes, the most beautiful smile I´ve ever seen...ahhh Manuel I´m so happy...“ Thomas talked tapidly quick. He didn´t even thinkm he
I had interview with him and he was sooo....so-I´m in love Manuel! I mean it! I´m in love...“ Manuel just rolled his eyes on the other side. He didn´t sounded very excited about it.

„Okay...slow down. How did that happen?“ And Thomas told him the whole story. Manuel has probably never heard him like this. He didn´t know Thomas was such a fanboy. They talked about half an hour. Okay...Thoms talked. Manuel fell asleep.

„Yeah. Me too...“

„Maybe we can meet and have a chat again...What do you think? We both live in Munich so...“ Thomas´s heard wanted to jump off his chest. He wanted to sing and dance and jump and fly and do whatever people do when they are super happy.
