all night worrying about me. I went in a friend´s
car to a party. At time to go back home, I couldn´t
²nd my friend. I tried to call my mother, but there
wasn´t signal. And I came back with another friend
later. I arrived at home at 5:00 a.m. My mother was
very upset. I wouldn´t wish the punishment to be
too severe.
