It's history calling

“As much as it hurts, she deserved it. - Rose insisted.

“You better shut up, Rosa. And as for you, Adriana, I said, you don't sit here. - Said Carol.

"And where should I sit, then?" - Asked Adriana.

'Disappear!' shouted Carol, very upset.

In the class, there were not only idiots and hateful, there were also the smart ones. They knew Adriana's qualities, and they approached her to win, taking advantage of her knowledge to get good grades.

“Beautiful, come here. Sit down here, there's space. - Said Manuela.

"Here too, there's space, dear." - Said another colleague.

Adriana chose one of the seats and sat down. And life went on.

The birth of Isac brought even more disagreements between the couple, the accounts got tighter.

Some time later, Bernardo got a job at the cement factory, it wasn't a big deal, but with what he earned he could give the least for his family. However, it is not known if it was because of the pressure he suffered with the bills, if it was a lucid diversion due to alcohol, if it was because of his passion for the woman he was with, what happened is that Bernardo asked for a transfer to another city, he lied that he must be close to the mother, sick, who had no one else. Bernardo, after an argument with Helena, took his things and left, without even saying goodbye to his children.

Helena was destroyed, she kept asking why after so many years, with a small child, her husband abandoned her

"Dad, won't you come back?" - Asked Isaac.

— What will my school be like? - Asked Cecilia.

— School, what Cecilia! Who will pay the house bills? - Asked Alex.

"Mother, calm down. We'll find a way. We will help you. - Adriana said.

“Stop saying things you don't know. We're talking about money. Do you think it's by reading those little books of yours that we're going to get money to support this house? - Asked Alex, and added:

— This baby, eats, looks hungry!

“I don't want noise. Get out of here. Get out of my room, everyone! Said Helena, screaming.

And they went out, while Alex and Cecília murmured.

Adriana knelt down so that her eyes could reach her mother's eyes.

— Mom, believe me, don't worry. Remember, you've been holding this family for many years, bro you work, and we'll work too, each one will contribute what little they can. - Adriana said.

— Daughter, you are just a child, you are only fifteen years old. - Helena said, while finding comfort in her daughter's words.

- Mom, trust us, we will make it!

— Thank you, daughter, you always have something nice to say, you always manage to give me comfort when I need it.

- Love you mom!

“I love you too, daughter. Please take your brother and let me get some rest.

Adriana with her radiant smile, grabbed her brother and left.

Days later, seeing the suffocation her mother was going through, Adriana took all the money she had and gave it to her mother.

— Mom, it's to help you with the bills. It's not much, but it's what I have. - Adriana said.

- Daughter! - Helena said, admiring her daughter's attitude.

— Now, others, just eat, and eat well, but helping that is good, nothing. Said Cecilia.

— And others only sleep, how can they help like that? Alex said.

“Stop it, we've got enough problems. Said Helena.

And so the Balate family lived.

When Adriana thought that everything was going well, Carol played with her, and went to complain to the address that Adriana sold cookies at school.

The Director called Helena to scold her, because Adriana was a minor, and forbade the girl to continue selling cookies at school.

Disgusted with the decision, Adriana went to Carol in the middle of the room to demand satisfaction.

“Why did you do that, Carol? - Asked Adriana.

- What did I do? - Answered, asking, Carol.

— You know what you did.

“I don't know what you're talking about.

— What is a tantrum for you, for me, is the way to help my mother.

- I have nothing to do with it. Explain this to the school principal.

“What's really troubling is that even after you know how you've harmed me, you can't feel remorse.

The class was divided, most of them knew that Adriana was a good person, and they didn't like what Carol did, and they were against her.

Once again, Adriana excelled at the school, the best student of all time, dismissed the tenth grade, and even received a diploma of recognition from the school. She received applause at school, but at home, no one cared.

Once in the eleventh grade, she had to change to another school, as the school where she finished the tenth grade only taught up to the basic level.

“I didn't see your name on any of the school lists. - Said Rose.

— Unfortunately, I couldn't enroll in time, I lost my spot. - Adriana said.

- And then?

— I'm going to study on the 4th of October.

- So far away?

“I had no choice, it was that or I lost the year.

“I'm sorry, my dear.

— The worst thing is that I come in in the morning, I will have to wake up four hours, so as not to be late.

— Look, let's pay attention at school, maybe, with the passage of time, you'll get a spot.

There was no way, Adriana would really have to bend over backwards, if she wanted to continue studying, even worse since she couldn't afford to pay a high school student, she would even have to walk about twelve kilometers to be able to study.
