Chapter 2

Message Camila: Hi, how are you? “asked I, I was curious, his profile picture let me see a pretty attractive guy, but I didn't even know if he was real. I thought he wouldn't answer again... I mean, sometimes these things happen.

Message Leonardo: Well thanks and you? “he answered after a few seconds. Adrian kept looking at me half worried, I guess it was because both he and I, knew that my supposed boyfriend didn't talk to me except in the morning and in the afternoon almost at night, he says good morning and leaves.

Message Camila: Well too, what are you doing? “I asked again, full of curiosity why, first of all, I had no idea who he was and secondly, I also did not understand why he had spoken to me.

“Who are you talking to? “Adrian asked, pulling me out of my thoughts. “You were smiling looking at the screen. “he commented again.

I didn't know what to answer, since I hadn't even realized I was smiling, but that wasn't the point, I had no reason to be smiling with a complete stranger... Or did I?

I just stared at nothing, thinking about anything, I didn't understand why it was difficult for me to answer him, maybe because of the confession he had made to me, I had no idea what it could be, but I didn't care much either.

“With a friend. “I answered without waiting for her to believe me, although it didn't matter much either.

“Ah. “he commented smiling as if it was something bad.

I looked at him, but didn't say anything about it. Suddenly my phone began to vibrate again, surely it was that Leonardo, I checked it and, indeed, it was him.

I did not answer his message, but I was intrigued to know what he wanted, on the other hand, my friends approached me so we could say goodbye, surely we would not see each other again or not as often as we had done so far.

Our life was about to change and Adrian would still be close to me, I don't know how comfortable it would be now that he had made that confession that he saw me as something more than friends. I kept thinking about it, the last thing I imagined in life.

My parents came up to me, they still had tears in their eyes, I didn't really trust them to be real, but I hugged them anyway. Our lives would take a one hundred and eighty degree turn, but I didn't care, I guess, I guess when kids grow up these things happen and sometimes it hurts and sometimes, like this one, they don't matter.

I've always had to pretend to be the good girl, the one who doesn't do anything wrong, leaving what I really like aside. My mind was going back and forth, but I didn't want anyone to notice. I stepped back a little to try not to think about losing my friends and everything, to be exact.

Message Camila: What are you doing? “I decided to check the message from that Leonardo guy, I guess I would keep talking to him, he seemed interested in talking to me or something.

Message Leonardo: At the university, what about you?. “He replied almost instantly. I guessed that was good.

Message Camila: In my degree.  I replied. I kept wondering if I was right to answer his messages or not, due to the fact that he was a man completely unknown to me.

Message Leonardo: That's good. “he replied. I looked straight ahead, but I didn't know what to do or answer, I left in my pocket my phone and tried to approach my group of friends again, I smiled with them as if nothing had happened, Adrian was gone some time ago, I hoped he wasn't mad at me forever, but I told him the truth, I will always see him and love him as a friend and I wished he understood that.

After having lunch together with them and talking about our possible vacation, I started my way to the place where my parents were waiting for me, I smiled out of nowhere when I checked my phone again, there was another message from Leonardo, but I didn't understand why I was smiling.

Message Leonardo: What will you do now? “Was the question he had asked me, I decided to answer, I wasn't losing and it wouldn't influence me at all if I did.

Message Camila: I guess it is good, now I am on my way to my parents, I have to go home now.. “I replied to his messages, I didn't know if I was going to respond quickly or not, so I decided to put my phone back in my pocket.

I walked and ran into several classmates on the street, we said goodbye, after all I never got along badly with anyone, I just preferred to be with my friends, with the people I had more affinity and with whom I felt inside my "bubble", so to speak.

My life has always been complicated, what do I want? I don't know, what do I want? No idea, but I can't stay asleep, life has taught me in one way or another that if it catches you flying low it hits you where it hurts the most and I don't want to keep suffering for those things, I just like to think that I'm not weak, even if deep down, I'm still the same little girl.

I arrived with my parents, I assumed they were near the vehicle, so I entered the nearest restaurant and asked for them, we always ate there, so it was easy for them to recognize us, as I already suspected they were there, I entered the place to sit next to them, I did not eat, but I drank a juice, I was thirsty.

I checked my phone to see if that guy had answered me again, I don't know why Leonardo intrigued me so much, I don't know him, I haven't even met him, but he gives me a strange feeling that I couldn't describe, not completely.

Message Leonardo: I understand, but still it must be hard to leave your friends behind, but now you should think about a university, right? “He asked.

Message Camila: Yes, as a matter of fact, I already have it contemplated, I'm just waiting for the enrollment date to come, I guess. “I replied.

Message Camila: ¿And you, what course are you in? “I mentioned again.

Message Leonardo: I have three semesters left to finish my college degree, I ended up studying digital marketing. “he replied. I found it interesting, although it wasn't my style, or so I supposed, in fact, I wasn't even really sure what I'm good at or what I would like to study, after all, careers are never what we expect.

Message Camila: Interesting. “I replied.

Message Camila: Is it very complicated? “I asked incredulously.

Message Leonardo: Not so much, like in all careers, there is a roguery, plus I like it, so I learn it out of passion, I guess. “he mentioned. What a guy, I thought, I didn't know what to say, I think he had left me speechless.

Message Camila: You're right, but sometimes it happens that we think we are good at something, or what, we like some career, in this case, but when we practice it or study it, it's the opposite of what we expected. “I counter”argued, hoping that it was understood what I wanted to imply.

Message Leonardo: Well, yes, but there are vocational talks and tests for that, so whoever doesn't choose well is because he didn't do enough research. “he replied, I'm surprised.

Message Camila: You win. “I said implying that I was giving up on this conversation.

Message Leonardo: I didn't know we were arguing. “he mentioned attaching smiley faces and the typical Hahaha. I smiled at his response, I didn't know what to make of this, I guess I felt good conversing with him, but I wasn't clear on why.

Message Camila: Well yes, now, what are you doing?. “I answered smiling, my parents looked at me, who knows what they were thinking, but if they didn't ask me I wouldn't answer them.

They got up from the table and I did the same leaving my phone, again, in my pocket, we walked in the direction of the vehicle so we could go to our home, where my little sister and obviously, my unbearable older sister were waiting for me, she had already gone through this, but unlike me, she decided only to take a technical career, something that has no reason to become less, but she saw it that way and that's why she hated me and blamed me for her decision.

Leonardo Alvarez

As soon as I saw that profile picture I couldn't resist sending her a message, I didn't know if she would answer, but I decided to take a chance and it worked, I wanted to know more about her, to know her and make her feel good about me, I guess I would be the next victim of this breast, yes, I have my self”esteem very high and I know that no matter how difficult the goal I set myself, because I will end up achieving it.

I was at the university, soon I would enter classes again and I don't know if I would have my cell phone on with me, maybe I would leave it in my backpack to avoid interruptions.

I walked in the direction of the room where my class would start, so I wouldn't be late, I have to keep my role as a blameless student, so the teachers and, especially my father, won't care about what I do in my free time, someone crossed my path, I had no idea who, because I hadn't noticed it.

“Excuse me. “I mentioned while helping the man to get up, I soon realized who it was, Agustin, the man I avoided at all costs, because he would ruin my whole seducer profile.
