Johnny, is that you? Wow, long time to see. Where have you been all this time?

Yes, I have been to another country.

Are you kidding? It's me, Ronald, your best friend. How are you, bro?

Ronald, oh right, Ronald. Sure, you also live in this place. I had forgotten it.

I don't understand what you're talking about, but tell me, how are you? How was your trip? You left many years ago and now you come back and I didn't know you were here.

Wow, I always talk to your mother. She's so sweet. Every time she sees me, she gives me some food.

No, I see. Then she still does those kind of things. Some things never change. Seriously, I don't understand. Are you okay? Tell me about your trip. You traveled two or three years ago. You have changed a lot, bro. You look great. You went to United States to study, right? What did you study? Tell me.

Yes, I went there because my uncle lives there and he told me to live with him for a while.

Yeah, I know you told me that, but tell me everything. How's that country? People say it's amazing. Did you meet new people? Did you make a lot of friends?

Of course, it's different to start. You don't see a lot of garbage like here. Oh my God.

Yeah, I suppose so. It must be great. How was your neighborhood?

It was cool. The houses are bigger and you can see a lot of trees and plants. Not like here, everything is covered with sand and mud. It's very dirty.

Yeah, I know. I know it is not a nice place like there, but it has its advantages.

Are you kidding? There's nothing good in living here in this ugly and dirty neighborhood.

Oh, don't say that. Your family is here. That is the most important thing, right?

Yeah, that's why I'm here. Otherwise, I would never come here again. But anyway, I hope that one day we will all move to that country and live better. We'll do it someday.

Um, okay. And how's the school there? Did you learn new things? Is it difficult?

It was at the beginning because I came from a very low-level school like ours. There's no way to compare both schools. Where I studied before was horrible. The schools there have a different level. They are modern and also very cool. You have a whiteboard, not like here that we don't even have a board. This school sucks.

Yeah, well, it's not the best school, but it's our school. We started here. Do you remember when we used to play in the school yard? We used to play with the ball. One day, you kicked the ball and the teacher was there. She fell down. I will never forget that.

Really? Because I don't remember that anymore. I would like to forget.

What? You are so funny. And hey, did you make new friends?

Of course, I made new friends. I have a lot of friends there. They are different, better. They don't use those kind of clothes. I mean, they have money. What is that? Are you still using that jacket? Why? That's very old. Why don't you throw it away once and for all?

What? This jacket? Well, I like it. You know, it's my favorite jacket, Johnny. My father gave it to me before he died. It is special. You perfectly know that.

Yeah, whatever. I brought some clothes from my trip. I can give you some.

Really? Oh, thank you. I want to see what you brought. Now that I think about it, I better not give you anything because you're not going to like it. That's modern clothes, trendy. You don't know anything about it. Look at my t-shirt. It costs a lot of money. The material is good and it doesn't smell bad like others.

Oh, I see. Well, I don't care. Hey, why don't we go to play soccer? I saw Yandel and Mary over there. I am sure they will be happy when they see you, bro.

Yandel and Mary? Oh God, please no. Don't tell me they are still your friends. You should find better friends. Those are not people you want to surround yourself with.

And what kind of person should I surround myself with, Johnny? If they are our friends?

I don't know, but you're right. There are no worthwhile people here.

What? But here's your family. How can you say something like that? Seriously, I didn't want to believe it, Johnny, but you have changed. You are not the same. What happened to you?

What happened to me? Well, I grew up. I am a better person now. That happened.

How can you be a better person if you treat people like that? That's not good. I mean, you can have money now, maybe you come from a more modern country, but you were born here. We used to play here. We were happy here with your friends and family.

So what? I hate this place. It's ugly and dirty. Everyone is crazy here.

Everyone is crazy? Is even your mom crazy? Tell me, is she also dirty and ugly?

Of course, she is. She likes this place. I wish she wasn't my mom.

How can you say that? Alright, that's enough. You can talk about me and others like that, but not your mother. You are... I better go before I beat you up. Goodbye, Johnny. What a shame, you lost those who were probably your best friends.

What? What's wrong with him? Did I say something bad or what? These people... I hope you liked this conversation.
