Fall in love and other problems

Chapter 5: "Friends day"

   Today is Saturday, the week passed very quickly, it was a good first week of school, in fact it was the last first week of school of all my school years since next year I will be in university. We don't talk much with Chad, we barely say hello and that's where all of our conversation for the day ends. I do not know what will become of the supposed bet, we will see, because the truth is that this way nobody is going to fall in love with anyone, not even to please.

   Dad, Mom and the twins went to visit our grandparents on Daddy's behalf today, but the rest of us didn't really feel like going. It's raining and with Santiago, Laura and David we have no idea what to do.

"What if we do movie day?" Laura asks suddenly, breaking the silence that had been generated, thus making us all exalt.

"Go ahead!" I say with emotion after my fright, I love movie afternoons with my friends, we always get super hooked. "Now notice in the w******p group so they all come".

   In the group which is called the most beautiful we are all but I have them scheduled with nicknames, Chucky is my dear sister Laura, Estorbo is my beloved brother Sebastián, Infantil is my useless brother David, Graciela is my cousin Grace, Teito It is obviously Teo, Deni is Denise, Tomi is Tomás, Aba is April and finally Cami is Cameron. My brothers and cousin don't like their nicknames, which is a bigger reason to use them, but the others do, no matter what I call them, they know that I love them with all my heart.

Group "The most beautiful"

Me: Hi!

Aba: Hollou

Cami: Hopa

Children: Hey

Graciela:

Hindrance: See *

Teito:

Chucky: Do you want to come home to see movies ???

Teito: Come on

Aba: Yes

Graciela: Obvious

Cami: Good

Deni: Yes, I finally wanted to do something

Tomi: I'm coming

Cami: I'm at the door, open up!

   I get up confused by his speed and go to open the door, he was definitely standing there.

"What are you doing here?"

"Weren't we going to see some movies?" he answers with another question knowing that it bothers me every damn time he does it. "I was going to come even though they hadn't invited me before, it just so happens that they just sent the messages".

   I made him pass and we settled in the chairs waiting for the others, who were arriving little by little.

Group "The most beautiful"

Aba: Open upp

Aba: Noow

Me: If you write well we will open you.

Aba: Ladies and gentlemen

Aba: Could you open the door of your house please?

   My sister is the one who is going to open the door this time and when she comes back she does it with Abril, Teo and Grace together.

"Bitches" says Aba.

"The little mouth dear! That this is a respected house in which the other members are respected" I say that completely serious what causes everyone to burst into laughter.

"Ug".

   A few minutes later Denise and then Thomas arrived, who were the last ones missing.

"Shall we make popcorn?" Cam asks.

"Yes" I say stopping and going with him to the kitchen.

   Luckily we have some that come in packages that we just have to put them in the microwave and we don't have to make them with the oil and everything that it takes because that would end in disaster.

   When we returned with the popcorn (many of them were distributed among all of us), Grace, Teo, Denise, Santiago, Laura and Thomas sat on the big chair; Cameron with me upstairs in one of the little ones and Abril with David just like us in an armchair also in front of us.

   After several fights between which movie to choose and which not, we finally got to see "Fast and Furious 7" and then go to the cinema to see when 8 comes out, but since we had seen it so many times most of us fell asleep. We could not choose a new film, we had to choose the one that we know more or less by heart and it is not a joke, every so often we said the dialogues at the same time as them.

   When I woke up they were all asleep which was hilarious. For some reason Teo fell to the ground at some point and is asleep there, Laura and Thomas are asleep to the side while Santiago and Denise are literally on top of Grace, poor little cousin. April, already in the other chair, is curled up in a ball on top of David and he seems to be super comfortable even though he doesn't seem like it. When I look at us, Cameron hugs me stronger and stronger, I'm on top of him but let's say perpendicular.

   He's so cute, too bad he's my best friend because if he weren't, I would have told everything that makes me feel a long time ago. I stared at him for several minutes while I caress his hair and he seems to like it because every so often he smiles between dreams, I find it adorable. Although he seems like a rude and angry boy at times, he is a super sweet and caring boy, at least to us.

"Can I go to your bed?" he asks in a hoarse voice, I am scared but not much, because I thought he was asleep very deeply.

"Yup" I answer him whispering in a childish way so as not to wake up anyone, I make the pretense of getting up like this he goes but what he does is that he stops and takes me with him as if I were a damn potato bag.

"I'm not going to sleep alone," he says with a touch of amusement that makes me smile and drags me to my room.

"What if I didn't want to come?" I asked crossing my arms and trying to sound angry.

"If you wanted, you can't make yourself the angry little friend" he princks my nose with a finger and laugh.

"Damn it Cameron, let me act in peace".

"Never".

   When we arrive we go to bed, or rather my dear and kind best friend flips me to my bed and then throws himself next to me, after a while of being in the same position he hugs me from behind and I just stay there like that.

   The truth is that it feels so good to sleep with him, I never told anyone my secret out of fear, not even my sister who is the second person who knows absolutely or almost everything about me after Cameron. I can become the safest, most rebellious and fighting girl in the world, but when it comes down to him and our friendship I don't know, my mind goes blank and I prefer to keep everything before there is the slightest possibility of losing his friendship.

"I love you Sari" he says half asleep, I know he loves me but not in the way I want, but it's okay, sometimes you just have to settle for that is more than enough and that's it. This is so difficult.

"I to you Cami" I answer him but I don't know if he listens to me, he just hugs me a little tighter.

   Later I open my eyes and I get the scare of my life, thank goodness we had gotten away a bit with Cameron because otherwise I would have woken him up.

"Mother!" I whisper shouting, I don't know if she understands.

Either you whisper or you scream Sara.

   I whisper shouting Sarita, don't bother me.

Fine.

   Fine.

"You two look so cute" my mom whispers while smiling. "I took a picture of you".

"You did what? For God's sake, mom, are you crazy" I speak putting a hand on my head, this woman, who understands this woman.

"Oh daughter, don't feel special, I took a picture of all of you. I would like to know how Sebastian and Teo ended up on the floor but hey, it would have been funny to see them fall" I laugh at her comment.

"Before coming, only Teo was on the floor".

"Well, keep sleeping. I love them, they would make such a beautiful couple" what she says leaves me thinking, maybe there could be the possibility of talking about what happens to me with her, maybe she will understand me and can help me or at least advise me something, anything that I am desperate for. "Well, keep sleeping, I'll wake you all up for dinner later".

   When he leaves I turn around and rest my head on Cameron's chest, causing him to hug me. I hope he has been asleep all this time and he has not heard anything at all, I beg Diosito if he exists.

Better than that, you should beg him for something else.

   Enlighten me Sarita, why else should I beg?

Well actually it would be a plus. Pray that if I was awake, you didn't say your thoughts out loud like you usually do.

   I do not understand.

That your mother may not have ...

   Our mother, by God we are the same conscience person.

Well, our mom might have overheard us say that maybe we could talk to her about your crush on your best friend. Maybe you said it and she pretended she didn't hear anything, and imagine if he was just awake and heard everything.

   Most likely not Sarita, certainly not.

But… what if, yes?

   Curse. Curse! CURSE. CURSE!

Well, we got it.

   Damn, why me? I hope I didn't open my mouth.

Yes, let's wait.

   Well.

Well.

   Well.
