Ramon yells.
"So now you are going to pretend that you don't fucking know what you did!"
"Ramon, stop acting like a fucking child and tell me what the fuck you are talking about!"
He grabs my arm and presses me hard against the wall, glaring at me.
"You know what's childish? Going to the school headmistress and giving them documents to expose my true identity!"
What! Someone exposed him! That comes as a shock! And he thinks it's me. Why would I do something like that?
"God! I hate you Camilla! I know i have said it before but this time I mean it! I hate you! I fucking hate you!"
Those words prick me and I feel a wave of sadness surge through me. I push him off of me.
"l don't know what the fuck you are talking about! I don't have the time to waste doing that
