On Monday, Max had his eye test. He passed it, and now is on his way to the driving school to hand it in. And he started to look forward to his date!<\/p>\n

Kapitel 8<\/strong>
\nDer Schnee knirscht bei jedem Schritt. Der Wind ist eiskalt. Max schaut auf, und sieht, wie die Sonne schwach durch die Wolken scheint. Er dachte heute morgen noch, es wird ein sch\u00f6ner Tag!<\/em>
\n Ein wenig genervt geht er weiter. Zum Gl\u00fcck ist die Fahrschule nur ein paar hundert Meter entfernt.<\/em>
\n Er freut sich schon auf heute Abend. Sie hei\u00dft Laura. Sie studiert an der gleichen Universit\u00e4t, an der gleichen Fakult\u00e4t, sogar. Und beide sind im ersten Semester.<\/em>
\n Das Semester hat im Oktober angefangen, also vor ungef\u00e4hr zwei Monaten. Alles f\u00fchlt sich noch sehr neu an. Das alleinige Wohnen, die Universit\u00e4t, die vielen Kommilitonen – viel mehr als die paar Mitsch\u00fcler in der Klasse am Gymnasium! – und Laura.<\/em>
\n Er ist ihr letzte Woche in einer Vorlesung begegnet. Max hat noch nicht viele Freunde gefunden, und setzt sich deshalb einfach neben beliebigen Kommilitonen. Letzte Woche hat er einen Gl\u00fcckstreffer gelandet. Er setzte sich neben Laura. Sie kamen ins Gespr\u00e4ch, und am Ende der Vorlesung hatten sie eine Verabredung.<\/em>
\n Max schaut sich um. Er ist an der Fahrschule vorbei gelaufen! Er muss st\u00e4ndig an Laura denken, und vergisst die Welt um ihn herum. Er rennt die paar Meter zur\u00fcck, und geht hinein.<\/em>
\n \u00bbGuten Tag, Herr Meier!\u00ab<\/em>
\n \u00bbGuten Tag, Max! Wie geht’s dir?\u00ab Herr Meier, der Inhaber der Fahrschule Meier und Max’ Fahrlehrer, sitzt am einzigen B\u00fcro im kleinen Klassenraum der Fahrschule.<\/em>
\n \u00bbMir geht’s gut, danke. Ich habe die Bescheinigung f\u00fcr den Augentest. Und ich brauche keine Sehhilfe, ich habe den Test bestanden!\u00ab<\/em>
\n Max gibt Herrn Meier die Bescheinigung.<\/em>
\n \u00bbSuper, danke!\u00ab<\/em>
\n \u00bbIch muss los, ich habe noch viel zu tun heute. Bis demn\u00e4chst!\u00ab<\/em>
\n \u00bbTschau!\u00ab<\/em>
\n Herr Meier winkt kurz. Max ist schon wieder drau\u00dfen.<\/em>
\n Der Supermarkt ist nicht mehr weit. Was braucht er f\u00fcr’s Abendessen? Laura hatte ihm letzte Woche erz\u00e4hlt, dass sie Kalten Hund<\/a> gerne mag.<\/em>
\n Max hat im Netz ein Rezept gefunden, das sehr gut aussah. Ein Video zeigt sogar wie man das Rezept macht. Das kriegt er doch hin!<\/em>
\n Im Supermarkt kauft er alle Zutaten die er braucht. Butterkekse, Kokosnuss\u00f6l, Kakaopulver, Puderzucker, Vanillezucker und Eier… Es gibt auch Blumen! Wundersch\u00f6ne Rosen! Er wird\u00a0Laura\u00a0eine mitbringen.<\/em>
\n Auf dem Heimweg ist er schon total aufgeregt. Wird sie die S\u00fc\u00dfspeise m\u00f6gen? Oder noch wichtiger: wird sie ihn wirklich m\u00f6gen?<\/em><\/p>\n

Chapter 8<\/strong>
\nThe snow scrunches with every step. The wind is ice-cold. Max looks up, and sees how the sun is shining faintly through the clouds. He still thought this morning that it would be a beautiful day! He walks on, a little annoyed. Fortunately, the driving school is only a few hundred meters (approx. yards) away. He is already looking forward to tonight. Her name is Laura. They study at the same university, at the same faculty even. And both are in the first semester.
\nThe semester has started in October, so about two months ago. Everything still feels very new. The living alone, the university, the many classmates – many more than the few classmates in his class during the Gymnasium (like AP High School)! – and Laura.
\nHe met her last week during a lecture. Max has not found many friends yet, and therefore he simply sits down next to random classmates. Last week, he made a fluke. He sat down next to Laura. They got talking, and at the end of the lecture they had a date.
\nMax looks around. He walked past the driving school! He has to constantly think about Laura, and forgets the world around him. He runs back a few meters and walks in.
\n“Hello, Mr. Meier!”
\n“Hello, Max! How are you?” Mr. Meier, the owner of Driving School Meier and Max’s driving instructor, sits at the only office in the small classroom of the school.
\n“I am fine, thanks. I have the attestation of the vision test. And I don’t need any vision aid, I passed the test!”
\nMax gives the attestation to Mr. Meier.
\n“Awesome, thanks!”
\n“I have to go, I still have to do a lot today. See you soon!”
\n“Bye!”
\nMr. Meier waves shortly. Max is already outside again.
\nThe supermarket isn’t far anymore. What does he need for dinner? Laura told him last week that she loves Kalter Hund<\/a><\/em> (hedgehog slice).
\nMax found a recipe online that looked very good. A video even shows how to make the recipe. Certainly, he can pull that off!
\nIn the supermarket, he buys all ingredients he needs. Tea biscuits, coconut oil, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla sugar and eggs… There are also flowers! Beautiful roses! He’ll bring one for Laura.
\nOn the way home he is already super excited. Will she like the sweet dish? Or even more important: will she really like him?<\/p>\n
