I enter the institute with the face of few friends and try to go unnoticed among the people to go to English, but as always, I fail in the attempt.
-Lailah, do you know if something happens to Jason?- Gigi asks, catching up with me.
I don't bother to stop walking and I don't even look at her. Being in a bad mood in the mornings is a normal thing for me, and my friends, they have to accept that.
-Good morning to you too- I murmur.
-Not seriously. It's that he's been avoiding me since yesterday. This morning I went to say hi to him and he got weird.
Then the memory of Jason behaving strangely a few days ago comes to mind.
-Weird like making weird gestures and being in a hurry? - I ask a little more interested.
-Yes. Why? Do you know anything?
-No, but I want to know. A few days ago he was like that too, and he wouldn't say anything to me- Gigi lets out a sigh and we both walk into the classroom to sit at our des
I get on my motorcycle and start driving to the outskirts of the city, this time calmer. The sun hits my body, but the wind breeze from the speed eases the heat a bit.When I arrive at my father's mansion, which is hidden in the undergrowth, two tall black gates open in front of me, allowing me to enter the huge garden full of hedges cut in different shapes and surrounded by small cars that I don't even want to know how much. they will have cost you.I park the bike and get off. At the front door, two women dressed as servants who are next to some stone figures in the shape of dangerous dogs welcome me, a bit blushing to see me without a shirt. I don't answer them and I don't hesitate long before going in and up the big red velvet-carpeted stairs that lead upstairs.I look for his office and enter without knocking. My lungs fill up immediately with the smoke in the room caused by the cigar that is being smoked. I walk over to the big red leather chai
When I had seen Lailah with that idiot Derek, walking in the park and holding hands, I must admit that I had not liked it at all. All I wanted to do was separate them and take her away. And not because I want him to fall in love with me, which too, but because he just couldn't take it.And if that's jealousy, I don't like them at all.-I do not want to talk to you- she says crossing her arms. Then slightly wrinkle your nose. Liar.- Lailah, you have to listen to me ...- I begin to explain.-I'm sick of you and your fucking lies! First, you kiss me, you say you care about me and then I find out that you have been sleeping with Cara! And I don't know what to do anymore! -I see his eyes water and instantly feel what they usually call guilt or remorse. What a fucking bitch.- If you're playing me so I don't testify against you, let me tell you it's useless. It's useless because even if I fall in love with you to the core, the first thing I wa
Azael and I start cooking the macaroni between kisses and laughs when a call comes in on my cell phone.Mother.-Tell me mom- I say in an innocent voice. It is not something new that my mother has always been somewhat controlling, so when I finish high school and I do not show up at home without having explained, I know she is going to be angry.-Lailah, tell me right now where you are.-I'm ... with Jason.-Yes? - she asks incredulously- Is he by your side right now?- No, he just went to the bathroom- I know that if I say he's by my side, he'll say he wants to talk to him to confirm it. Azael looks at me blankly while stirring the macaroni.-What a coincidence, because I just ran into him right now and he doesn't know where you are.Holy shit.-Did I say with Jason ...? I meant
Tears flow from my eyes helplessly. I just hope that my mother tells me that this is a practical joke, because all the anger and helplessness that I feel inside me is building up with previous sequels, and if I explode, it will not be pleasant at all.-What are you telling me, mom?I shake my head and I don't even bother to hide what I feel, I don't bother to wipe the little drops of salty water that run down my cheeks.-It's the best after all. -My mother's expression is serious. Her lips are pressed into a fine line and she crosses her arms decisively.- Jim's mother is very ill, the doctors say they don't think she will last much longer and Jim wants to spend more time by her side, he wants to be there in her last moments. Just as it will be good for you to separate yourself from the bad influences that you have right now in your life and the bad memories that this house and this city bring you, and thus we will both change a bit of air. 
When the door in front of me opens, I expect to see Scott wondering what I'm doing at home.But not. In his place I find Azael dressed in a black buttoned shirt, with several buttons unbuttoned from which his tattoos peek, which rise to his neck and take my breath away.He adjusts the button on his sleeve and looks at me fiery, with some sparkle in his eyes and his particular lopsided smile. And looking behind you, mine expands more, if that's possible. Scott's apartment is lit only by candles, classical and relaxing music plays in the background, and the best thing, there is a table for two prepared in the middle of the room.- Surprise- he murmurs hoarsely. He holds out his hand and leads me into the apartment, then closes the door behind me. My legs are shaking and I feel the vibration in my chest that causes my heart to crash against my rib cage.-What is all this?- I manage to ask in amazement.-We have never had a date, and I thought it was abo
I wake up and the first thing I see is Azael lying next to me, still asleep.A smile creases my face involuntarily, but it fades as I remember our discussion yesterday.I haven't forgotten a single word of what we were talking about. I plan to bring up the discussion again, I need us to clarify all the problems that plague us and talk about what this has meant for us. Because if I did what I did yesterday, it was because I felt I had to, I had a feeling that it had to happen and that this was the perfect moment.I get up quietly and pick up all my clothes that are scattered on the floor. I feel some pain in my parts, but I ignore it. Once I have collected them all, I get dressed and do my hair a bit in the bathroom, then sneak out so as not to wake Azael. Outside, the candles are out, everything is still in place, and once again I look at the burned curtain and smile. I wonder where Scott has been all night.I close the apartment door wi
I hope to wake up and find Lailah by my side, naked. But instead, I find Scott with a black marker in hand and Kya at his side.-What the hell are you doing?- I murmur hoarsely.They run away from the bed and burst out laughing like two fucking kids. What the hell are these two laughing at?-How was dinner last night? -Kya says wiping the tears from her eyes.-Good- I answer without wanting to speak.Where has Lailah gone and why is she not by my side?- Looks like Tommy did have a good dinner ...- Scott says, kicking my clothes that are scattered on the floor. They both laugh again.-Don't act like you guys didn't have to sleep in the same crappy motel room and nothing happened- I murmur. Immediately, they both fall silent. Scott blushes and Kya glares at me to take a few steps away from him. I smile cynically.I get up from the mattress and st
Things have finally started to go well in recent months. At last, almost everything seems normal and every day, and I have finally taken a break from everything.A breath of Azael.Honestly, it bothers me quite a bit that he hasn't called me since I last spoke to him. And it's not that I have forgiven him or I'm going to do it, but after everything that has happened, what less than to call me to stay and talk about everything that happened or at least to know how I am. Because if something is clear to me, it is that I am not going to be the one to go after him this time, and picking up the cell phone to dial his number would be throwing my dignity away, so I am not going to do it.I enter Latin class and sit in my usual place, on one side by the window. I drum my fingers on the table and kick my feet on the floor. I can't help but be nervous, today is the day they post the results of the grades on the board, as it is the last day of high school before Chri
