They helped me onto the first guy. There were two veterans holding my hands, one on each side. I was stepping on the boys' backs, scared to death of falling or hurting someone. Then I got to the end and one of the boys helped me down. How tense!
“Thanks for the help” said André. “Now let's go girls!”
“You're kidding...” I said tiredly and he laughed.
“Boys, stand behind each other and spread your legs. You'll go underneath.”
I rolled my eyes. All I wanted in the world was to get down on my knees and crawl under someone's legs.
After this deplorable thing I had to do, they made us beg for money on the street.
Not very willing. That's what I f
The week went by too fast. There was one day left before the beer party. Isabeli was constantly pestering me to go to this crap. I don't like places with lots of people! Doesn't she understand?“Please, Lara! I can't go alone. I don't know anyone.”“You didn't know anyone in your class?”“Some people, but they won't go. Please!” “If you don't know, you have to buy tickets, and they're already gone, because it's tomorrow.”“I know, but I bought two tickets.” “You what?”“I already bought your ticket.”
We went in a cab. Isabeli was very excited and all I could think about was my bed waiting for me at home. The car stopped in front of a party house. We got in line. While we were waiting to get in, I observed the place. It was big and with lots of colored lights.I am already changing my mind.Isabeli handed our invitations to the man at the door and Gabriel also handed his. As soon as I set foot inside the place, I felt like going home. It was crowded! Lights flashing, people, lots of people.I grabbed the hand of the person next to me as I felt panic rising.“Relax” said Gabriel. I let go of his hand in
I tried to answer, but I couldn't. I was shocked! I was shocked! Did I do something to make him understand that I wanted this? “Ahm...” I scratched my head. “I'm sorry, Gabriel, I'm confused now... I didn't imply any of that, did I?”“No. I'm sorry, it's just that you were nearby and had just faced the most imbecilic guy for me. I must have gotten it all mixed up. You won't be mad at me, will you?”“No. But you have to promise that it won't happen again.”“I promise!”“Larissa makes up a lot of things, but she didn't lie about me having a boyfriend.”“I'm sorry...”
I opened my eyes slowly and felt a strong nausea. I looked around and didn't recognize the place, in fact, I had seen these lamps when I was in the hospital. My eyes widened. Hospital? I looked around and then saw someone I knew and sighed. Gabriel approached the bed and smiled slightly. “What happened?” I asked. “You got sick at the party.”I frowned. “Are you feeling well?”“I feel nauseous...”“It'll get better.”“What happened? I had a strange dream...”
I was released from the hospital the next day. Daniel came with me to the sorority house. He talked to Angela about what had happened and that he didn't think it was safe for me to stay there, because that guy could find me or something worse.While he was talking to her, I went to pack my things and talk to Isabeli. She was sitting on the bed when I entered the room. As soon as she saw that it was me, she stood up.“Are you ok?”“Yes, I am now.”“I'm sorry, Lara. I shouldn't have left you.”“Especially not for a guy, right?”“I'm sorry... I never would have imagined something like this. I feel terrible about what
It was the damn newspaper that told about what happened in Lorenzo's family. My face was stamped there and the name of the article was: Girl having an affair with her husband's son.This can't be happening!I looked around and people were looking at me and whispering. I clenched my hands tightly and ripped the damn thing off the board. I tore it to pieces and noticed the people slowly walking away from me. I was furious! Who was the bastard who put this here?I threw the paper on the floor angrily and stepped on it. I soon pulled myself together and took a deep breath. Isabeli was standing a little away from me and looking at me with wide eyes. What? I can freak out, right?There were still people looking at me, b
I was lying in bed watching TV. Daniel was in the living room, I think. He said he was going to order us something to eat. I wasn't hungry, but okay.“I ordered pizza” he said, entering the room.“Um...”“You've infected me with all this excitement” he spoke ironically and lay down beside me. “What happened?” he asked, caressing my face.“Remember that cousin of mine who answered your call talking a bunch of shit?”“Yes.”I told him what she did to me from the day she talked about it, to what she did today and why I hit her.“Lara, you can't go
I was forced to go to Lorenzo's house. I still tried to argue, saying that I had an early class, but it was no use. Lorenzo stopped by Daniel's house and asked me to get a nightwear and the next day's outfit as well as my college stuff.I did so complaining and then we went to his house. I asked to stay in Daniel's room. He won't be using it anyway. I left my things on his bed and opened his closet. There were some clothes inside. I took one of his shirts and smelled it. I think it was worse that he came early and came back, it would have been better to see him on time.Someone knocked on the door. I closed the closet, but kept the shirt.“Come in.”Rosa opened the door smiling. She came over and sat on the bed with me.“Do you want to talk about what's bothering you?”“No need to worry.”“Is it something in college? Do you think the course is bad?”“No, I love the course.” “So is it a professor bothering you?” “The professors are great.” “What is the problem then?” I was silent f
