Reencarnação

No Natal, meus pais decidiram trabalhar para ganhar o salário triplicado, e mais uma vez me deixaram sozinha em casa. Pensando nos últimos vinte anos, em que eles sempre fizeram isso, decidi que não queria passar mais uma noite fria e solitária. Peguei meu jantar natalino e fui procurá-los. Mal sabia eu que aqueles pais, que sempre alegaram estar tentando ganhar um pouco mais de dinheiro, sairiam de um carro de luxo, rindo e abraçando um garoto da minha idade, e entrariam em um restaurante cinco estrelas. — Vocês acham certo deixar Caroline sozinha em casa? — Perguntou o garoto. Minha mãe respondeu com indiferença: — Não tem problema, ela já está acostumada. Meu pai, sem o menor peso na consciência, completou: — Como ela poderia se comparar a você? Você é o verdadeiro tesouro dos nossos corações! Virei as costas e fui embora. Eles fingiram ser pobres para enganar a mim, mas desta vez eu não quero mais a companhia deles!

Esperei por três horas na festa de aniversário do meu namorado, Dário Montenegro. Ele deveria ser o centro das atenções, chegar com elegância, de mãos dadas comigo. Mas não. Foi a “eterna paixão” dele, Evelina Fernandes, quem ligou — dizendo que torceu o tornozelo — e o chamou direto pro hospital. Lá, ela gravou um vídeo deles se beijando. Na cena, Dário, que sempre disse estar com as pernas paralisadas, se levanta, empurra Evelina contra a porta e se entrega ao momento. — Dário, por que você nunca contou pra Lívia que suas pernas já estavam boas? E ele, com a voz mansa e melada: — Se ela souber, vai insistir pra eu casar com ela. Lívia Vale? Ela não é nada. Só uma babá grátis. E acha que merece virar minha esposa? Logo depois, ele e Evelina continuam se beijando com força. Ela veste o vestido de noiva que eu mesma desenhei… e encara a câmera com provocação. O vídeo termina ao som dos beijos. Ele me enganou o tempo todo. Joguei fora o bolo que tinha feito pra ele com tanto carinho. Mandei uma mensagem pra minha mãe: “Oi, mãe. Tá bom. Eu aceito ir no encontro que você marcou.”

Era meu aniversário. Eu achei que ele fosse me levar à praia para ver os fogos de artifício, mas ele levou outra mulher e a filha dela. — A Bruna tem uma filha, não é fácil para ela. Seja compreensível. Ela não conhece o caminho e tem muita bagagem. Vou levá-las ao hotel primeiro. — Ele falou isso com a maior leveza, como se estivesse explicando algo trivial. Era justamente essa leveza que fazia até mesmo a minha raiva parecer exagerada. Ele colocou as duas no carro, colocou pessoalmente o cinto de segurança da criança e, sorrindo para mim, disse: — Eu já volto, não fica imaginando coisa. Fiquei parada à beira da estrada, vendo eles partirem como se fossem uma família de verdade. A noite caiu, e a brisa do mar estava gelada. Eu ainda estava esperando, até que um vídeo da Bruna apareceu na minha tela. Ele estava abraçando a filha dela, na praia, assistindo à queima de fogos. Aquela cena era a surpresa que eu mesma tinha preparado para o meu aniversário. Nos comentários, só tinha: [São perfeitos juntos, uma família tão feliz] Alguém perguntou por que ele não tinha ido me buscar. Ele sorriu e respondeu: [A Camila tem bom temperamento, ela não vai se irritar] Naquele instante, meu bolo virou uma poça de glacê derretido. No fundo, ele nunca foi verdadeiramente cruel, ele só me tinha por garantida, como se eu o fosse esperar para sempre. Mas ser ignorada com delicadeza por tanto tempo esfriou meu coração. As ondas quebravam na costa, uma após a outra, e com elas se quebravam também as minhas últimas ilusões. Desta vez, eu não vou mais esperar ele voltar.

lunch went by pretty quickly, and we were back to classes soon enough. I'd like to forget to get a book out of my locker, so I went to go quickly and went to get it. I was leaning against the locker next to mine as I quickly scanned my schedule on my locker door. When warm air fanned the side of my face. "Move" being the excellent human being I am, I jumped out of fright, flinging the heavy calculus textbook in my hands backward. I hear a grunt and turn to find the person hunched over as they hold part of their face "Oh God! I'm so sorry!" I panicked. and then he looked up. the first thing I noticed was his short, dark hair. it looked so smooth, and 1 almost reached out to play with it. My eyes trailed down to his strong jaw line, down to his broad shoulders. I didn't even realize that I was biting my lip as I further inspected the Adonis before me. His arm flexed, bringing my attention to the amber eye he was now covering It was him. Six. He is the most popular and dangerous guy in school. And I'd managed to injure him with my calculus textbook.
