When the chapter begins, Lorenzo is
still hiding in the cellar of the building where he lives. He says that the
cellar is nice and warm. He spent the morning reading and sleeping, and had a
piece of candy for lunch. He imagined that there had been an alien invasion and
that he was the only person left alive in Rome. In his imagination, he thought
that he could not get out of the cellar until the aliens went back to their
planet. They would go back to their planet in one week, which was the same time
that the ski trip would end.
Lorenzo put his cell phone by the
window where he could get a better signal and fell asleep. Later, the phone was
ringing and woke him up. It was his mother. Lorenzo’s mother was asking about
the trip and the weather. He said that the trip was good. Lorenzo told his
mother that he was at a pizza place. He was a little nervous telling his mother
about the weather and tried not to say anything wrong. His mother asked to
speak with Alessia’s mother, and Lorenzo said that she was not there. His
mother told him that she would call back the next day and that he better put
her on the phone or have Alessia’s mother call her. Lorenzo pretended that his
pizza was ready and got off the phone. He knew that he needed to come up with a
really good story to get his mother to stop asking to speak with Alessia’s
mother.
At the end of the chapter, Lorenzo
started to imagine what his mother must be doing. She was three floors above
him in the same building. He put on his
headphones and a song started to play that he hated, so he took his headphones
off.
