The Inevitable Evidence

2.

A few minutes later when I got to the lockers, I saw a small brown head drawn among the students, immediately recognising Harmony. She was my first friend. It was with her that I faced all my years of high school and with whom I shared the most adventures. She's always been there for me like I was for her. We are very close and we have a special bond that unites us. I can tell when she's not well while she's smiling at me, just like her. All the moments we've shared together, at home or at home, we strengthen this bond and I hope never to lose it. It's really very important in my life, it's like my other half in reality and we know how to give it back to us. She has lived everything in my history with Tobias since we were in the same classes all three with Auxalia, and she was also very close to him, which has already aroused my jealousy but it is mostly a problem of confidence in me but I think she also lost someone important in her life and I think we should talk about it both later because I think I'm not ready to talk about it.

When she sees me, I know that my surprise is successful, I did expressly not tell her when I came back from vacation and the boys kept the secret. She then runs to us by throwing herself into my arms, she clings to me with all her strength. I finally found everything I missed the most during my vacation and she is so happy to see me. I missed it so much, mashed.

She comes off with me and asks me what time I finish this afternoon while putting her bag in my locker because there is still room and I tell her that I finish at 4pm. She then tells me that she kidnaps me to go to the local burger so that I can tell her everything around a milkshake, to which I reply favorably, always in each other's arms with Emilio's tender look on us, weird but my instinct confirms something I have to elucidate.

Auxalia arrives without Driss who is already at the cafeteria like the big morfale he is, says hello to Harmony by putting his bag in the locker and we leave for the café to join everyone.

The dining room is crowded when we arrive and what makes me laugh is that it looks strangely like the movies I've seen, like everything I've been watching since this morning in fact, Harmony and Auxalia laugh when I ask them what group we’re going to be catalogued in while Lio looks up to heaven, eager not to be the only guy and run away from his "girls" conversations.

We quickly find Driss accompanied by Eidan who tells me that he kept me a place next to him, and with them is Jaison and Laurie. Besides, it does not take more time before you stop eating and get up and open my arms and I run inside. It always smells the same, a mixture of musk and lemon. In his arms, I feel so safe that I could stay there for hours but obviously my belly does not agree since it makes deafening noises to show that it is empty and that it is hungry. Jaison laughs and places a kiss on the top of the skull while letting go so that I go to get a tray before returning to them with my meal under the stormy gaze of Laulau, this one she is too involved in my intimate relationships ...

I settle in the place that Eidan reserved for me and he puts a kiss on my cheek so that I do not pay attention when he steals my brownie but unfortunately for him, I take him back by putting him on the other side laughing with Driss, who saw the action. We start talking about everything and nothing while eating our plates, the good atmosphere reigns and I missed it. There is only one shadow on the board, the absence of Tobias that is too disturbing. Before, he was always there to annoy Auxalia and talk drawing with Jaison. So, I'm looking for him with my eyes. Eidan, who was watching me, gives me a helping hand and shows me a table with his eyes, as if he had read my thoughts. Just like in the movies, you have to believe that there is a table of «popular», it makes me laugh so much, Tobias at the table of the popular who would have believed? It's so out of place, he always said he hated those who were above everyone... I guess he was lying about it, too. Then, I cross the look of Damian, this look cold and challenges, which makes me want to vomit and cuts my appetite, finally this is what I let appear because deep inside me, it makes me feel feverish.

While I thought I had seen enough today, a clique of girls with pom poms arrives in the cafeteria and head to the table of the band at Brett. Nothing abnormal at first until a blonde, after talking with the guys, walks to our table with two of her acolytes. As this group of girls emerges before my eyes, I fail to choke upon seeing Maddison, Clarisse and Jeanne. Emilio stops in one of his endless crappy jokes and Driss fails to spit his soda on Auxalia when he sees them arrive. I watch her move forward until she crashes in front of me, I must believe that I am not the only one who has changed. I then feel Eidan's hand resting on my thigh, a sign that he is there at the slightest problem and this contact gives me a minimum of courage to face what will happen.

"Here, Melora! It's been so long since we've seen each other!! I almost missed you. Said my old friend, with a hypocritical air stuck on his face as he leepowered at the table. When she left, our friendship deteriorated and we ended up not talking.

-      It's been more than 5 years since you changed college and moved, at least that's what you told me. I answered, taking a sip of my soda to help me cope because deep down I lead not wide. So, I'm surprised to see you here. I added, looking at her with a smile as hypocritical as hers.

-      Yes, I moved well but Washington didn't really please my parents so we came back to live here during the holidays.

-      Super. 

-      I have something else to tell you, my dear friend. She announces to me, with a proud move to tell me by placing her hand on my shoulder.

-      I'm listening.

-      I'm dating Tobias! No, but do you believe it? You who did not stop telling me that we were going to go out together, finally it happened! She exclaims, delighted to hear this news from me.

The pain I feel inside me hurts so much but I can't show her that it's affecting me, she'd be too proud of it since that's her intention since the beginning of our conversation. But what can I answer well, I'm starting to really see trouble? She is so proud to tell me, as if I had done something to her...

-      I-I... Am happy for... You two. I say, shaking my friend's hand under the table that gives me back my grip, feeling the gaze of all my friends on me. I also perceive Laurie's irritation on Maddison.

-      So much the better, so all this to tell you not to approach him anymore.

-      I wasn't counting on it, don't worry about it. I'm smiling, wrongly.

-      Good. Well, I'll let you find my darling.

And then a laugh came out of my lips. The situation was so funny and unexpected that I could do nothing but laugh, which earned me the eyes of everyone on me as well as the black eyes of Maddison. Failing to cry, I have the right to release my nerves laughing right?

-      Can I find out why you're laughing at all of a sudden?

-      Oh, but wasn't that a joke? Oops, in time for me because your "my darling" sounded excruciatingly overplayed. I was throwing, with sarcasm in my voice.

I had to fight back; it was stronger than me. I don't want to let that go anymore. She shows up, throws this at me and I have no right to react finally? Well, no, too easy. My answer makes my friends laugh at the table, which gives me courage to continue despite Jaison's look at me feeling that I will soon lose control of my emotions.

-      Who exactly do you think you are for for fun on my account? Maddison then gets mad, out of her knowing full well that I don't care about her.

-      Damn, you understand my intention. But tell me, on the pretext that you're a pompom girl and you eat at the said "popular" table, do you think you're above me? I asked calmly, miming quotation marks by pronouncing the popular table and throwing a little respite to my heart so that it stops drumming in my chest.

-      Looking at you, yes, I firmly believe that I am above you. She taunts me by the collar of my polo shirt, which makes me get up from my chair. No, but it's true, look at you. Do you think you can stand up to me? Have power here? Sorry darling but we had to choose the best side... She explains to me, leaning in my ear. I'll be you, I'll quickly shut my mouth or your little romance on your vacation could come to your friends' ears. Murmure, before getting over the collar of my polo shirt properly and crashing me there."

I watch her walk away, sitting down like the b***h I knew deep down, having that unfinished feeling in me since I can't say anything. I hear the boys ask me what she told me and the look of the best friends, especially that of Laurie who must suspect something since she knows everything compared to Auxalia about the little romance I had in Cancun. As I waved to him so we could go outside and talk, I felt a liquid poured over my head. I suddenly get up, wondering who the moron did this before turning around in front of Maddison and the whole cafeteria who laughs and enjoys the action. I see Jaison rushing towards the blonde but I stop her with an arm movement as she speaks. 

"Just a little something to prove to you that you're nothing, even at the beginning of the year Wheeler. She announces, proud of herself."

I just take the time to glance at Damian to see his pinched expression and Tobias' smile. Iended up shoving the other crazy, who watches the show and who breathes jubilation, knowing that if I reacted would be a victory for them. Laurie follows me to the toilet or there I go in a deep rage, externalizing to all, barely entered the toilets.

"No, but can you explain to me what she's doing here? This b***h came back and she was showing that look so proud when she told me that she was dating Tobias!!! No but tell me I dreamed, she can not go out with him, not after all I had to endure during our 5th year ... Lau... I say, looking at her as I begin to tremble while taking my head in my hands. I'm sick of it, so fed up... Why every time I convince myself that I've achieved something, there's always a little thing that pisses me off! I don't want to do it again. The worst part is that I always thought it would be me, but it's she!!! It has the place I've always wanted and I know it's totally stupid to say that, like it's a competition but you know it's always been!!!!! And I c***k for the umpteenth time letting out tears of rage. And the worst you know what is? It's that she knows about me and Damian and I don't know how! This even threatened to tell me everything! But, it's only at the beginning of the year and I already have all this falling on me! I never asked for any of this myself... Do I end by slipping against the wall near the sinks? I just wanted a year where I was focusing on my studies, with my friends and not yet put my head upside down because of boys and especially this moron of Tobias! I kept lamenting, my head in my knees.

-      Honey... You can't let her get to you again. You've evolved and you know you deserve better than him. Doesn't he deserve you, okay? I can't stand to see you in a state like this. We made a promise to your grandmother from Cancun, remember? And you succeeded, during his two months, you tried to forget him and seeing him with this will help you. She said, taking my face in her hands. As for Damian, he didn't contact you again so there's no risk, wait and see if he comes to talk to you and you'll ask him if he's told anything about you but everything's fine Mel, don't worry. You came out strong from this trip and you found yourself and you proved it by answering like that to Maddison, we saw the real Melora and I'm proud of you, really...

I let her hug me, totally distraught because I know she's right.

-      Take it easy. She whispers to me softly as she strokes my hair. Be quiet... I'm going to be fine, I'm here."

After a few minutes in his arms, I get up and stand in front of the mirror. I dry my tears with my hands, take a paper to erase the traces of mascara that have flowed and try to make the soda stain disappear on my polo shirt and blow my nose. My best friend hands me a gloss that I apply, I put my hair back in place and smile at my reflection, repeating the promise made to my grandmother by putting my hand on my heart.

 My dear, promise me never to let anyone cry again and make you forget yourself. You're stronger than you think. Don't give up.

“Come on, come on, we'll find the others. Announces Laurie by taking my hand. Jaison and the guys have to worry and I'm not even talking about Harmony and Auxalia who must want to redo the face of the other godiche. We're all here for you, okay? Don't forget that. Never. She adds, sincere and making me laugh.”

I nod and she opens the door. On my way out, I come face to face with Tobias and his fake blonde who are kissing. No but fate he's going after me or what seriously?!?! College isn't big enough, is it?! Do they have to kiss here? I did something wrong so much for karma to do that. I'm really sick of it, like I'm going to wake up? It's a bad dream on the start of the school year, it can't have it all in one day, my life can't be worthy of a book without messing around it's too dumb!

But while I'm talking to myself, Ithen have an idea and pulls Laulau by the arm behind the water fountain just behind them and activates the faucet that propels jets directly at them. We leave laughing and forget to leave, so Goldsmith will have to watch us laugh dead and I take my legs off the stage and be proud of my shot with my best friend following. I may not be able to do much for not that truth about what happened with Damian but I can at least do that, too much is too much. And despite everything, I would not crash in front of this blonde b***h. 

And I would have sworn to have seen a smile on his lips when I heard me laughing...

**

Classes are finally over and I just got into the convertible at Harmony. We're on our way to get a Milkshake as planned. During the trip, my friend puts on her playlist and we're singing all the High School Musical songs like we used to do athome, on her way home from class, on her TV in karaoke mode before leaving for our dance class. 

Arrivals in front of the small restaurant super trendy around the corner and resembling in every way that of the series “Riverdale” which is also the origin of our nicknames to both since I nickname her "B" and my "V". More cliche, you die but that's what we like.

She cuts off the contact laughing at my comparison, saying I'm too into movies and series and we get out of the car. Once installed at a table, we suddenly think we could have gone to Josie's but hey, it will be for the next time, a waitress comes to ask us what we want.

"A strawberry Milkshake please. I answered him with a smile on his face.

-      And for me it will be a vanilla Milkshake supplement topping hot chocolate. Answer my sidekick.

-      Well ladies, it will give you $20.96 please.

-      By card. I said to him when I put out my credit card, not giving my friend time to fight back.

-      Contactless?

-      Yes. She gave me back my card and the tick of the order. Thank you."

I put my credit card in my bag and report my attention to my friend who makes me big eyes.

"Oh, you're not going to sulk at me because I paid if?

-      We could have shared. She replied simply.

-      But I'm happy about that. And then you can make it up to you by paying us for the restaurant tonight. I said to him with a wink.

-      I would love to, but I can't, and that's one of the things we need to talk about.

-      Oh, you're scaring me, tell me!

-      Well, I'm...

She was cut off by the waitress, bringing our orders which we thanked.

-      So, I said, actually, I'm in a relationship... She announces to me, all shy.

-      Ah but I know that, you're with Emilio, right? I say, sip of my milkshake.

-      Wait what? How do you know that? Did he tell you? She said, shocked as she looked at me and raised her eyebrows.

-      You should be more discreet the next time you want to hold her hand under the table or hide your love looks. I was laughing.

-      s**t! she laughs in turn. "

For more than 20 minutes, she tells me how it happened between them after an umpteenth argument with Damian but she remains evasive surely not to remember this memory. I watch her animate her idyll with Emilio, stars in her eyes without knowing that she warms my heart. She tells me how she feels when she is with him and all the little attentions, she has for her since the beginning of their relationship and especially how she feels good about him, all the time. She even confides to me that it's a real duck with her and I laugh because it doesn't even surprise me about him.

At the end of her monologue, she throws me.

"And then tell me!! I want to know everything!! "

So, it's my turn to tell her everything in detail for almost two hours, finding the confidante of all my secrets.

I tell him about the many cities we've been to and each culture, everything is as different as each other. I tell him about the adventures I went through with Laulau, and what we learned about us. I tell him all the nonsense we did with the band of friends to my cousin and how much I want to meet them next vacation. I tell her about the little moments spent with my granny and my paternal family, there union and the bickering that followed the following days and how my father was happy as well as my mother who did not stop playing with the little ones of my cousins who called her "Aunt Kate" hence her first name, Katelyn. I tell him in detail what I understood about myself and what I learned about my origins and who I was inside.

She asks me at home around 6:30 p.m. and leaves for Emilio's house and I thank her for this outing. We promise to make ourselves a night like this as we did before, promising to always keep telling each other. I open the gate of my house and close it behind me. My parents' cars are not in the driveway of the garage which means I'm all alone until 8pm maximum. Finally, I was supposed to be alone until I saw Jaison, on the steps of my porch, waiting for me drawing something on a sheet.

"But what are you doing here? I asked him, glad to see him with my keys in his hand. 

-      I came to see the most beautiful girl on earth, the one who kindly gave me a double of the keys on a winter evening... He exclaims, putting his drawing notebook on his side and taking me by the waist to lift me up and spin me in the air.

-      Come on rest me beautiful talker!!! I was laughing. And then it wasn't even a winter day!

-      If! You break my heart not to remember it. He said, pretending to have a knife on his heart.

-      You're over-doing Jaijai!

-      So, on the other hand, I did not miss this nickname!! He pronounces by pointing at me. Moreover, because of you, it stayed in my family!

-      Oupsi... I laughed, proudly, as he took me back in his arms.

-      If you knew how you missed me little head. He said, burying his head in the hollow of my neck.

-      I'm not that small. I answered, clinging to him but giving him a blow to the skull.

-      Well, on the other hand I suggest that we eat together and talk about various things like your vacation in Cancun, you have changed so much! I need to get my rusk back. He announces to me, with a broad smile on his face.

-      I missed you so big i***t. Go home but you are the one who orders and pays to eat! I was intimating him by showing the door. And since you boast of having the keys, open."

**

7 p.m.

"Chinese or Italian? Makes Jai' voice in my room, probably with the food leaflets to carry in his hands.

-      Chinese what a question!! I was yelling at him as I just got out of the shower.

-      What did you tell me? He asks, just passing his head through the door of my bathroom.

-      JAISON PRESCOTT!!!! Get your head out of where I'm gutting you! I was screaming, hiding my body behind a towel as fast as I can.

-      Oooh it's fine... I've seen a lot of them before. He tells me with his stormy look of which he has the secret.

-      But that's no reason, you pretentious! I answered by feeling him smile mischievously behind the door, and I prefer to dress quickly."

I don't bother to dry my hair, but take my brush for trouble, especially with the black hair I'm paying for. I then grab a cotton wool and quickly remove myself, pull out a jog in a drawer dedicated to “pajamas” and a tank top. I come out of the bathroom and smile at the sight of my friend lying on my bed with his head in the void and looking at his phone and I guess he is interested in the snaps of his friends on video since he laughs and videos unfold on his smartphone. He then sees that I'm out and tells me that the delivery man arrives in ten minutes maximum while diving back into his smartphone.

I approach him and put my head in front of his, he is pretty upside down too. Jaison was always very close to me, more than Tobias when we were little. And to spend a moment, I thought I loved him more than I said, and he too so we kissed but we immediately laughed, our love feeling went beyond a relationship. I can't explain it but I know I never want to have to lose him, I need him too much, and our closeness. I quickly get out of my thoughts when he kisses my forehead and I decide to go down to prepare everything and take my phone on the bed, next to him, discovering that he has taken multiple selfies of his facies in my photo gallery. I leave laughing at his grimaces realizing that he has not changed and that he is doing the same things as Laurie. Once downstairs, while I set up the island so that we could eat there, he sits on a stool and watches me do.

"You could help me anyway, wouldn't you? Instead of sitting on a stool and watching me do it. I blamed him kindly.

-      Perhaps, I forgot or was tidy the cutlery and plates.

-      You don't pay for my head, since you were 13, you've come to eat at home.

-      Yes, but no, I'm much better off where I am, on that stool, looking at you. Does he do it in a mischievous voice, repeating my words.

-      You really can't believe it. I laughed when suddenly the delivery man rings the intercom.

-      I'm going! He rushes to the door, like his stomach on his paw.

-      Ah bah la for the food you're present eh! I was shouting at him when I heard his laughter as a simple answer."

We just finished eating. We talked about my 2 months in Latin America and I know that a subject burns his lips. So, I wait for him to deign to throw it, seeing his little manias when he is stressed. And while I get rid and put everything in the trash can or in the dishwasher, he ends up going:

" You were able to talk to Tobias today?

-      Why would I want to talk to him? I was responding, my nerves were raw in spite of myself.

-      Relax Melo... Driss told me that you ran after him this morning when he saw him. He explains, putting his hands on my shoulders as he comes next to me.

-      I hate him...

-      So, you weren't going to tell me about it? He asks, leaning on the worktop, turning his head towards me.

-      No. I don't want to talk about him Jaison. With what happened at noon, I don't want to talk about it, I'm tired of always seeing my life turned according to my friendship with him. It's over. This morning I was weak and the one I had in front of me is not my best friend, nor the boy I knew. I told him, looking straight ahead, without feeling the slightest emotion as if this morning was too much.

-      I am sorry...

-      Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault, it's mine. It took me a while to wake up, avoid your remarks, but now it's over.

-      I understand and you know... Does he start by standing in front of me? I'm proud of you little head. Does he finish his sentence by taking me in his arms and I bury my head in his shoulder, shedding a single tear.

-      I'm going to be... Are you both still best friends? I asked him, looking him straight in the eye while stroking his cheek.

-      No, he ended up rejecting me, too. A week after you left, he came home and I knew something was wrong, I know him by heart, so I asked him what was going on but he didn't want to tell me and I got mad at him, I was fed up. It was too full, you know?

I nod my head to say yes, I understand it. Nevertheless, I put a hand on his shoulder to keep him going, that I'm here.

-      I, who have known him since I was a child, to whom he told all his secrets, he was closing in to me, before my eyes, and I could not bear it. I felt betrayed and asked him to get out and never come back.

-      You shouldn't have done that... Of course, you had your reasons, but you're not going to regret it? She was the most important person to you amicably speaking.

-      No doubt and it's even safe but I can't stand having an ice cabinet in front of me and always taking the worms out of his nose. He wanted to close himself to me and although great good did him, I don't want to keep running behind him like you've done many times. He knew I was still there. But all to one end and both of us have to deal with what he decided to do. Finish by taking me back in his arms and hugging me very tightly."

**

Jaison doesn't wait a moment before lying down on the couch in front of the TV while I take junk in the fridge. We put a film “Welcome to the Ch'tis” which is a French film considered funny and that Anastatia advised me. We hear my parents arrive at the same time and we tell them our first day as they get rid of their work, I mention Anastatia and we prefer not to talk about Tobias and Maddison. My mother ends up patting my best friend in the back of the head when she mentions the fact that because of him I slip on the railing in the morning and that it will be her fault if I c***k my skull, which makes the wrong-parent and my father laugh.

They ask us what we ate and Jaison tells them that we took to take away and that there are some left in the fridge, he also announces that he leaves just after the film, which my parents validate being used to his presence in our house. My mother takes me in her arms and wishes me good night, I walk up to my father and put a kiss on his cheek and then join Jaison who is already on the stairs and who already has a proper goodbye to my mother and a pat in my father's hand.

Once in my room, I put the film where we stopped on my TV and hand me against Jaison who puts a plaid on both of us with his free arm since the second is under my shoulders and I end up succumbing to Morpheus in the arms of my friend who laughs at an action of Antoine, one of the characters of the film.

**

The next day.

This morning, I wake up with the sound of my alarm clock saying 9:00. Jaison must have put it on last night because I fell asleep in his arms. And he left me a note on my nightstand.

You slept so well in my beautiful arms in the sleeping wood that I could not wake you up. Eidan's coming to pick you up this morning. Xx, you hermoso semental.

Beautiful stallion you speak... So, I have half an hour to get ready. I go to my bathroom to do my routine and make up a little more than yesterday; I make myself a makeup in blue tones and I put my mascara and my usual liner liner. I then head into my dressing room where I select a long skirt in black tulle with a midnight blue sweater belonging to Jai' that I tuck into my skirt and look at me in the mirror, satisfied with the result. I grab my bag by simply putting my computer and the necessary stuff since I only have one conference this morning. I unplug my phone and go downstairs to make my lunch.

While I run a cappuccino and then put it in a thermos, I make a nutella sandwich that I wrap in aluminum foil and put it all in my bag. I look my messages and see that the girls have added Harmony to the group. They agreed that we would meet in front of the lockers to go to communication. I put on my white sneakers when I hear Eidan's car coming, since he loves to make his Alfa Romeo purr. I take my keys by closing behind me and find that it is nice today since there is no cloud. I smile at him when I get into his car while putting my bag at my feet.

"Hello you! You're in a good mood! He welcomes me, delighted to see me.

-      As always, let's see! I say, leaning on the armrest to kiss him. Go on, everyone's waiting for us in front of the university so we can go to class together.

-      Hold. He tells me, vibrating the engine while laughing. »

Once we get to college, we go out and join the g**g. My best friends greet me with a big hug that only we have the secret and I kiss Emilio and Driss then Jaison puts an arm around my shoulders by slipping me that his sweater suits me better than has him.

I feel that this day will go well and not even Tobias can spoil it for me.

So, we are heading to our amphitheatre because we all have the communication conference. Once in front of the amphi, Harmony, who had already arrived and is waiting for us to enter, throws himself at Emilio, who grabs him by the waist by kissing him on the mouth, which makes me smile. We settle in a row, me between Jaison and Harmony and the boys on either side with Laurie and Auxalia at each end.

It is a 3-hour conference and almost all students have received a summons to attend, it is not necessarily part of all programs but all first-year students must attend. I'm quietly talking to Harmony when I feel Jaison's right-hand man behind me stretching. Indeed, when I put my hand on her cheek to find out what's wrong, I see that Sasha is looking in our direction. A game of looking settles between the two former best friends and I do not know what to do to stop them. Finally, it will be this plague of Maddison who breaks the contact by kissing Sasha full mouth, I want them to kiss but see a soup of tongues at 10am no way!

This scene is putting your fingers in your mouth. Jaison finally relaxes and I put my hand in hers which is placed on the table in front of me while the lights of the amphi go out, a sign that the conference begins.

During the course, Harmony is so focused that Emilio ended up shifting his attention to Laurie and now they're playing morpion. On the other side, Eidan struggles not to fall asleep and Auxalia seems to be in great conversation with Driss about Jaison bah... he sleeps with my hand against his cheek. He's so cute, I'm taking a picture of him under Harmony's gaze, wasn’t she supposed to be focused on that one.

When I raise my head, it is blue eyes that I cross, they always paralyze me as much but decides not to continue this game of look, I must not give in. It's up to him to come to me, alors instead of looking at me, he better swallows his pride and  come and talk to me. So, I go back into the course hoping that Harmony will refocus. 

**

It's the end of the conference. Everyone starts putting away their belongings and getting out of the amphitheatre. Jaison is still asleep and Eidan starts to step forward to wake him up but I prevent him from having a better idea. I hurriedly put my belongings on my shoulder, I beckon Harmony, Emilio and Laurie to get out of the row, what they are doing suspecting what I'm about to do.

I scream in the ear at Jai' who wakes up startled when he falls from his chair. When he catches his spirits, our group of friends laugh and he makes me his black look, it's time for me to run away while laughing knowing without a doubt that he is already after me because I hear him running and yelling at me to come back adding that anyway he will catch me, which is not wrong.

Not knowing perfectly, the university, I take a corridor that turns out to be a mini cul de sac. So, I find myself facing him, smiling and catching my breath.

"You're in trouble, you know that? He said to me with his mischievous eyes.

-      You would never dare to hurt me... I'd throw, always smiling. 

-      Who said I was going to hurt you little headache? He answered as he approached me, making me meet the wall behind my back.

-      Jaison... I was blowing. 

-      Yes? He said as he approached his face even more from me, having totally forgotten that he wanted to make my skin.

-      You're ugly. I answered him, moving my head forward while blowing on his lips to distract him and pushing him with all my strength to resume my run. 

-      Mel... »

I hear only vaguely what Jaison replies to me. I've already raced back to escape him but I get cut in my momentum when I hit someone head-on but who is strong enough not to fall too. I can't stand on my feet and put my ideas back in place by hearing Jaison behind me, but when I look up and intend to apologize to the person, I'm totally nailed. I just hit Damian, and that blue look pierces me and totally disarms me to take me back a month.

Flashback

It's 6:45 a.m. when I leave the family home to go for a run and say hello to my grandmother who is in front of a Brazilian TV show. My laces made and my headphones plugged into my phone, I tell him I'm coming home for 8:00 and gets going. It has become a habit to go for a run in the morning when the sun is just tipping the tip of its nose, there is no one on the seaside and I can then land on the sand to enjoy the first rays of sunshine that warms my skin.

But sometimes I'm lucky enough to have Laurie with me, but she slept so well in bed that I couldn't wake her up.

While I've been running for over 10 minutes, I turn my head to contemplate the Caribbean Sea before my eyes. I hit someone and fail to fall but sense the unknown surrounds my waist with his arm and keeps me on my feet to prevent me from falling. I then look up to the unknown and immediately recognize him: Damian Brett and his f*****g blue eyes.
