No, so far I still haven’t gotten any response.

No, I… Hi Dad! …I don’t think Hellmann & Sons

are even remotely… Dad? One second, please.

Not now, Elias, this is a bad time, okay.

Later, alright? I’m back.

So, Hellmann & Sons definitely do not

have a better competing offer. Alright, that’ll be

fifteen euros and ten cents, please. Thank you.

Do you maybe have another 10 cents? No.

Okay, no problem. Then you’ll get 4.90 euros back.

And here’s your receipt.

Thank you and have a nice weekend. Bye. Oh, sorry!

You okay?

Wait, I’ll help you pick that up real quick…

It’s fine.

That’s the new kid from the parallel class, right?

He’s always so weird, don’t worry about it.

… This can’t be happening. Just once, just once

they should manage without me.

Dad, what are you doing?

Something came up at work.

I have to head out again.

They want me in Hamburg by tomorrow morning.

Until Monday! They’re insane.

But you can’t just leave now,

my birthday is on Sunday.

I can't do anything about it. Elias, I’m sorry.

There you go. Next year I’ll be there. Promise.

Alright, I really have to go now.

Okay guys, we’re done. Get changed!

Hey, I’m Raphi. About yesterday... It’s fine.

Elias, wait a second. Just wait!

You forgot your bottle. Thanks.

Don't you live quite far away? Not your problem.

I need to go in the same direction. Great.

Didn’t you just transfer to our school recently?

Maybe. And you’re in 9B, right? Yeah, could be.

Then your teacher is that smelly Mr. Braun, right?

Yeah, he really does smell pretty bad.

You can laugh! And you can’t stay quiet.

Are you always so unfriendly?

Are you always this annoying?

Yeah, pretty much from morning till night.

Have you ever had Mrs. Schmidt? Yeah, you?

I’ve got her as my class teacher...

Could I maybe come in for a second?

I’m super thirsty and I didn’t drink anything the entire PE class.

But it’ll cost you! Sure.

Wow, but it’s also really dark in here.

Is nobody home? Do you live here all by yourself?

Yeah, more or less. More or less?

It’s a long story. Well, I’ve got time. Dude!

That's crazy!

And you’ve really never had detention? Nope.

For real? No, for real. Crazy.

The house is actually really cool…

I don’t think my parents could ever afford something like this.

And they don’t even work that little.

They’re in the store all the time.

We own the small village store by the school.

You know it? Yeah.

Anyway, it’s always insanely busy there.

I mean, all the students go there during lunch break.

That’s why I sometimes have to help out there in the afternoons.

My grades have definitely suffered because of it,

but somehow I manage. Sounds stressful. It’s fine.

So, what do your parents do? Well, my dad…

I don’t really know what it’s called exactly,

but he does something with real estate in an office.

That’s why he’s usually gone. And my mom…

I don’t really know either.

She moved away with her new boyfriend a few years ago.

I hardly ever see her.

I think they don’t really care about me anymore at all.

That’s probably just because they work so much…

Last year my dad forgot my birthday.

This year it looks like it’ll be the same.

When is your birthday? The day after tomorrow. Oh.

A big house doesn’t mean much when there’s nobody there.

Why don’t you just come with me tomorrow?

I mean to the store,

it might take your mind off things.

I don’t know, I’d just be in the way and I don’t know anything about it.

Oh come on! We could really use your help.

So, thanks for letting me stay here.

And for the water, of course. No problem.

I’m really looking forward to tomorrow.

Alright then, bye. Bye. Hi!

Hi! Did you sleep well? Sure! Mom?

Mom, come on, I need to introduce Elias to you.

I'm almost done here. Hi Elias!

Nice to have you here.

Raphi told me you want to help us out a bit today.

Come on, I'll show you everything.

And where do these go? Guess.

Do you just stock shelves all day?

Nope, also the fridge.

Okay, and where does this go? Hm... Hands up! Boo!

Do you still have some time today? Sure.

Then come on, I want to show you something else.

I used to come here all the time with my grandpa.

He was my best friend.

Whenever I’m here, it feels like he’s still here too.

I know, it might sound a bit weird…

It’s really beautiful here.

I don’t think I’ve ever had as much fun as today.

Today was really cool.

My mom was also really happy to meet you.

You’re always welcome.

So, I should probably head home now.

Can't you stay a little longer?

No, I promised my mom I’d be home on time today.

Okay. Bye. Bye. And thanks again… …for today.

I’m coming already. Come on, we have to go. What?

Come on, we're already late!

But I have to get changed first! Then go!

Where are we going? You’ll see!

And why are you going so fast?

Okay, now close your eyes. What? Why? Just do it.

Okay, now wait here. And keep your eyes closed.

No peeking! Okay, now. Open your eyes.

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday, dear Elias…

…happy birthday to you! Thank you.
