- what do you want me to help you with? - I say not so confident, did I say that this boy does not give me confidence?

- I want you to help me get up to speed with the subjects

- but I do not go with you, we have history and mathematics nomas together - the truth did not want to help him, I did not want to be close to him. - you can ask someone of the same year, capable some has all the subjects with you or most.

in 4 and 5 years of school, students could have the same classmates in most classes, although not all, in the last year, it is rare for them to have the same classmates.

for example jess and I have almost all the subjects together except mathematics and social, but with Daniel, we had few subjects together, they were psychology, history, chemistry and literature.

- lose but you could help me with history and math

- I'm sorry I can't, we're in exam time and I'm very busy

- it would be only a few days, I don't have so much trouble learning, please ?

God, this man was already altering me, that part of me busy doesn't understand, he didn't want to help him. if my mother were here she'd make me, but she's not.

- no, I'm sorry -- I was tired - now please go - I tell you and stretch out my hand pointing to the open door

"All right, I'm leaving," he says, raising his hands in the form of peace

he goes away and closed the door safely, I go to the fridge and grab an ice cream pot, I throw myself in the couch to wait for Mark to arrive.

~-~

after an hour, he heard someone knock on the door, I guess it was Mark as training time was over.

- I'M COMING! - I scream for Mark to listen to me, usually he doesn't carry the key and always ends up banging on the door.

I go and open the door and a grumpy mark comes in throwing away the backpack causing her to hit a vase and it breaks.

- shit -- it says for what I'd done

- quiet I clean it - I say crouching down to gather the pieces

- I help you

- what happened?- I ask getting up to grab daily and put there the pieces, and then throw them away

- the coach told me not to play in the last game, because my grades went down, so, this last game will be all game on the bench - he says making a whining after talking

- I'd love to tell you something that makes you feel better, but I'm not the one who does that

- calm down, all right, you don't have to say anything -- says grabbing the garbage bag -- give me the shot -- and it comes out

I keep thinking about him, he had grown so much in recent years, he was no longer that child., he is tall, he has a little long hair that makes him notice the dark curls, our hair is just like that of our mother, his blue eyes are also equal to those of hers, although I have my father's black eyes , his body was a little marked, but not so much.

I get up from the floor and go to my room, close the door, think about going to bed to read a book, but my cell phone sounded. I start looking for him, until I find him and attend, quickly without seeing who he was

- Hello? - I ask

a hoarse voice speaks -- hello pressious

I immediately recognize the voice

-hello Dan -- he answered by throwing me in bed

- How are you doing?

- well and you?

- well, I'll call you to invite you to a party tomorrow night

- Tomorrow ? but it's Tuesday -- I say something surprised by your invitation

- I know, that makes it more fun

hesitate a little to respond but I end up accepting.

after that my mother arrives, we had dinner, asked if I can go and after she told me, she expected Me to get up alone on Wednesday, because if I wasn't going to punish myself, I accept

~-~

It was already 21:00, jess and I were finishing preparing, Dan told us to pick us up at 21:30

Jess was wearing a white top and a black skirt tight to her body, black shoes that made her look louder, her hair was loose and she didn't wear much makeup, she looked beautiful the same.

I, unlike her, had a loose cream dress, the back was uncovered, I would reach by the thighs, I put on some black slippers, since I did not like to wear heels, my curls were loose. Jess forced me to do my makeup because she said I had a lot of dark circles, it wasn't very elaborate makeup.

We were just finishing preparing until my mom talks.

"You look beautiful girls," she says, leaning in the door frame

"Thank you Mommy," jess says, she treats her like her second mother and my mom treats her like a daughter

- the bag was prepared –

- sip - we say jess and I at the same time

In the end we were going to sleep in the house of a friend who lived two blocks from school, so if we fell asleep, we weren't late.

"I'll let you know when they come," my mother says, "she's leaving.

We finished preparing and slept in bed to wait for him.

"I heard the new guy asked you for help," says the FBI, I say jess

- How do you find out everything?

- this I found out because Lucas told me,

-like...- he didn't tell me to finish the sentence and adds

-He came to me to ask for help in history, I told him that because he didn't ask someone else for help, he told me he asked you for help and you said no. why did you tell him that ...

- girls, come down they're here , scream my mom

I saved the bell, jess was already going to start with her mega chat and I didn't want to hear it, I love her and everything but, her talks about the guys exhaust me

"We have to go," I say, I grab my purse and rush out of the room

I hear Jess growling, because of the escape I made of the conversation.

I start going down the stairs, jess catches up with me and we go down together. when we go down jess and I cross look and realize that the one who's talking to my mom is not dan, but Lucas' unbearable

-What you're doing here – whisper jess

"I don't know, " I whisper, we approach them who are talking - hello?

"Hello," says Lucas, realizing that we had already come down

My face is still confused, until I hear them talking

"Hello girls," he says, entering the house, "are you there? we have to go," he says and starts pushing us out - chau mama - tells my mother and finishes pushing us out and closes the door

We were all confused, we didn't understand why he pushed us so fast, it didn't even give me time to ask that towards Lucas there

-why the rush? –this is Lucas

- we have to go find other people, so faster –

In front of the house there were two white vans, one was already full, I assumed we were in the other as it was almost empty, in the front there was a 6-year-old girl who did not know much

We rushed, because if we didn't we did Dan would push us. Dan sat on the driver's side, Jess sat on the back glued to the window, me in the middle and lucas by my side.

"Look there's no room for more person anymore," jess says

"Let's go find one more" turns around and looks at us – so jess, chloe will sit on top of you.

He says that, turns around and turns on the car. I drive for 5 minutes, parked in front of a pretty big and beautiful house, he gets out of the car, you see him knocking on the door and a few minutes more a girl comes out. as soon as jess comes out and I look at each other. was the same girl we had seen with Lucas the day before.

She and Dan approach the car, he gets back in her seat and she opens the door on Lucas's side, I was about to sit on Jess' top when she talks

"Don't worry I sit on top of Lucas, don't you mind, do you?" he says and looks at him

"No," he replies

After she sits down, Dan turns the car back on and starts driving.

-you can see they're very close - whisper to me jess

-that shouldn't matter to you – I whisper to you too – or do you like it?

"Of course not," he replies, but this time, he says it on you loud and disgusted.

She realizes everyone's looking at her and she gets uncomfortable.

-How much do you look at? , maybe I have chocolate on my face

"I wish you had chocolate in your face, I'd eat you all," Says Dan and we laughed.

It was normal for Dan to digest things like that to us, people outside will think it was because he liked us, but we knew it wasn't like that.

After I was driving for 10 or 15 minutes, we arrived, it was a pretty big house, in the yard you could see quite a few people, we all got off, Dan and the girl who was sitting ahead, are the first people to disappear, then Lucas and the other girl.

"They left us alone," says Jess

-as always

Jess passes her arm through mine. we walked through the yard, you see couples kissing in the dark part, some already drunk, some in group, talking, we entered the house, inside the house was more beautiful, there were people in the armchairs, others dancing, taking. had emaciated people it was almost impossible to walk

We headed to order something to drink, Jess asked for both, gives me a pink drink

-what is this?- I ask you

-a drink

- haha, how funny

-it's daiquiri, you just take

We sat down, in an armchair, after a while, a guy invites her to dance and leaves me alone, as the drink was over I get up to go get another one.

-Hello, you give me a daiquiri

-now, I give it to you –

"You should ask for a wiski, it's stronger," says a guy next to me

-Excuse me? – I tell you

- I'm Santiago, nice to meet you

- Chloe, you're not from around here, are you?

- How did you know?

- that name is not very common

- that makes sense, I'm not from here, I'm from Argentina

- oh, is that in South America?

- yes, that's right

After talking like 20 minutes, she invites me to dance, but let's say I'm not very good at dancing, so I said no

-give him a moment, nomas

-no , I tell you seriously, so that you don't insist

-please, if

-no

He keeps insisting on me, until I agree to dance with him

-just a few minutes

" it catches up with me," he says, smiling

His smile was very cute, he was quite attractive, he was tall, not very short brown hair, he could see a tattoo on the neck, he looked like a bird and had a very nice nod. we started dancing to the rhythm of the music.

'Can you get away from her?' says a thick voice behind Santiago

"Ay sorry, I didn't know I had a boyfriend," Santiago replies, stepping away a little, to let me see the person in the voice, was nobody but Lucas

-he's not my boyfriend, " I tell Santiago, Lucas grabs my arm and tells me

- let's go

- I don't want to, "I answer you while, I try to let go of your grip

"We're leaving," he says and holds my arm tighter, so he won't let go

- that, he said no, " says Santiago this time and grabs me by the other arm

Suddenly I see Lucas throw a punch at Santiago with his free hand. Santiago falls to the ground and he again say

-let's go – hold me and start pushing me out of the house,

I could not believe what I had done, I see that James rises with the help of people who were around us,

I whisper to him - I'm sorry - and I leave the house with Lucas
