6.

Sunday was a normal day. Leo did not let Samuel leave, he literally locked him in the house and between fights and games they spent the day, without realizing they had to go to sleep.

Day Monday...

Samuel got up, took a shower and got dressed quickly

Sam wow you got up fast today -- Peter Anderson jokes --

Peter," he pouts, "is only because we agreed with the kids to add us to the music workshops," he says with a smile.

The kids? Sammie has new friends and I didn't know it? --LEO SAMMIE WANTS TO CHANGE ME! --he shouts but only gets hit by Leo

Of course sammie wouldn't change us and if he had told you -- he tells the major who was rubbing his head for him and sammie was just watching them with a smile -- sammie eats fast that you're late

Samuel listens today he started his torture called institute again but it would be different he had two new friends

He's going at a slow pace and wasn't in much of a hurry to get there.

SAMMIE! --you hear Anderson's voice he named himself turns to hear the boy's voice

Pett--he says with a smile -- how are you?

Excited about the workshops," he says with a euphoric smile, "what about you?

Also," he says, feeling the boy...

They were not in much of a hurry to get there amidst laughter and jokes, but when they entered they saw a large crowd at the entrance and Samuel felt that he should go and just let his momentum carry on and what he saw was not very nice

Come on, you're waiting to defend yourself, stupid -- they used to push the freckled man and beat him -- now you're not brave, are you?

Samuel, when he went to talk, felt someone talking behind him

Let it go, iker," says Joseph Samuel, only tensed as he listened to the boy so close.

Come on Mathew come have some fun with us -- says the other guy and Joseph just squeezing his hands leaving his knuckles white --

Joseph saw his friends approaching him and thought they would still bother him, but it was the opposite.

You didn't hear it? --says Lucas a little further... Are you deaf?

You know you don't want to fight with us -- at least speak up and then watch the boys drop Felix, who fell hard to the ground.

Everyone started to enter the institute, Samuel and Anderson ran where Felix hugged him for a long time and then Samuel got brave and approached the three boys

tha...thank you," he says somewhat regretfully.

He just receives a "it's nothing" gesture from Joseph and the three of them leave

Joseph was walking along with the two boys thinking that at any moment they would make fun of him for what he did but they were just walking seriously like him

Well, don't forget that later on we have to register for the workshops," says Gal, seeing that the other two nod before them.

Mathew Joseph," says Lucas, pausing, "who do you want to impress? --he says with a smile.

Eh? A...no one," he says somewhat dubiously.

You can trust us," says Lucas somewhat sadly, "I know you like someone, but I'm waiting for you to tell us who it is.

I know, I trust you," she said, "but she was afraid you would know her feelings for the boy who was occupying her mind all day.

Well... -Lucas was interrupted by the bell that indicated the entrance to the institute--

Joseph quickly realized that the two boys were missing from the infirmary, and smiled as he remembered Samuel's bright eyes as he thanked them and would do anything to see him again.

Ouch! That hurts," says the boy sitting on the stretcher.

Stand still Felix," says Anderson as he watches Samuel clean the wounds on his knees and cheek.

But if it hurts," says the freckled man with a pout, and he just laughs.

What happened? -they asked.

You would believe that even I don't know," says a surprised Felix, "I was in the entrance and they arrived and already," he says, raising his little hands.

That's weird, isn't it, Samuel? --says Anderson, playing with some jars, but when he doesn't get an answer, he looks at Felix, who quickly realizes that something was wrong with the child.

Samio? --Felix asks, "Are you okay?

Eh? Yes," says the boy, coming out of his thoughts.

Samuel kept thinking about how the three of them had defended Felix and in Joseph's eyes he was once again sinking him into an abyss from which he wanted to get out but it was hard for him // what do they want now? And if it is a trick?// the fear returned to his mind but he better decided to leave his thoughts to finish attending Felix and go to class

Ready lix-- says Samuel with a smile ordering things to get out of that place that brought back memories, and yes, Samuel kept thinking about that day that Joseph healed his wounds when he told his elders they both looked at each other and started laughing and he still didn't understand--.

Let's go? --says Anderson, which the other two agree, "Don't forget today is the workshop.

Peter, you haven't stopped talking about it," Felix says with a laugh.

He's very excited," says Samuel.

See you," says Anderson as he rushes to his living room.

When they arrived at the room I knock on the door next to Felix, Professor Smith did not make much drama, he only asked them why they were late and they answered a little bit false excuse that Felix fell and took him to the nurse's office, the professor let them in saying that he should not come back, they both nodded

Samuel, upon entering, instantly connected with Joseph who was not showing much but liked that look. He was the first to look away from his position next to Felix

They spent the whole normal class until he rang the bell for him to go to register for the workshops

The three of them arrived at the registration desk and realized that Joseph, Lucas and Gal were there with other boys and girls from the singing and composition workshop

When Joseph saw the boy, his heart raced as he remembered that Samuel liked to sing as a child

Hello! Will you be registering? -asks a girl with a big smile addressed to Samuel and this single seat with a smile--

The other kids would sign up for their workshops

Ho...hello," says Felix shyly, "I'm here to sign up for the dance workshop -- Joseph just nods with a smile because not many people like that workshop.

It's okay to fill out these things and you're ready--Luke says handing him the things you should have filled out

Thank you," says Felix, "but not only for this, but for helping me.

You're welcome. You just have to be careful," Lucas says, laughing.

Now Anderson would sign up for the composition workshop

Will you sign up? --says Gal seriously, but the other guy hits him to change his face to a smile and with a murderous look for this one, you must fill this out," he says, giving him the necessary.

Thank you," says Anderson after filling out the sheets.

When they finish they go to the dining room because Anderson was complaining that he was already hungry and Felix came up with the brilliant idea of taking food to the kids who were in charge of making the registrations since they were the ones who saved him

I'll give him to Joseph," says Samuel, since he had remembered when the older man went to get him just to eat.

You give both of them away," Anderson said in total disagreement as he hated them for the harm they did to many people in high school but especially to Samuel and him.

It's okay pett I know it bothers you but they helped me," Felix said smiling.

The three boys went to deliver the food Peter was upset while Felix was very happy and Samuel well he was confused

L...we came to drop this off," says Felix showing him the little bags they were given at the kiosk, because yes, Felix bought them the food

Gael looked at Luke who was totally surprised by the kindness of the freckle boy

Thank you," says Lucas with a smile, "you shouldn't have done that.

It's nothing, you defended me, it's the least I can do," he says, handing the bag to Gal, who kept looking at him, but whose gaze was very serious.

Erm... two... Joseph," says Samuel, drawing the boy's attention, "I assumed you hadn't eaten so I brought you this," says Samuel, holding out the bag in his hands.

tha...thank you -she says something nervous and awkward because of Samuel's look and that tender shy smile that escaped his lips was so tender to his sight but without thinking that someone would notice his feelings Luke did not stop seeing him with a smile

// So that's Samuel, huh? // thought his friend and workshop partner

All the normal and boring classes for the kids passed and it was time to go to the workshops to introduce themselves and find out what they were about

Samuel and Anderson took Felix to the dance hall which was a bit improvised but it was okay, then the two went to the music rooms that were together and to Samuel John's surprise he was in the room and wanted to leave that place but he would not and just took a breath and went inside .

Hi, I'm the new Orihuela singing teacher, I'll be with you for the challenge of the year since this is my university practice, I hope we get along well - says the young teacher who looked like an otter in Samuel's opinion - now it's your turn to introduce yourselves

All the students showed up just like Samuel and all of them went through a vocal test, for Samuel the teacher was quite nice

Well I explain," says the teacher looking at the children, "in 6 months of making a competition and therefore these 2 months will be a mini-competition in the institute and those who win along with the other 2 groups of other workshops will represent the institute and the winners will have scholarships for the university they want

All the students started talking and were surprised except for Samuel who just thought about it and promised himself to try his best but... who would he team up with? That was his worst and it bothered him

I'll do the groups," says the teacher looking at the list I think, "I asked them to sing to see who could best match their voices, and I have the results, they'll be evenly matched because there are so few of them.

Everyone nods nervously just as Samuel did. He wanted to know who he should team up with

Asier with... Iban," says the teacher, and Samuel was getting more and more nervous, "Nil with... Joel -- the teacher was like that until -- Smith and... Taylor--hearing that, Samuel's heart stopped // of all those who had a good voice, why him? What if he quit? That wasn't an option// Samuel being so focused on his thoughts didn't notice the boy sitting next to him

If you screw up, you'll be in bad shape," threatened Taylor, who only nodded.

The teacher gave him the time to agree on the song that they would sing this was something difficult but not impossible...
