So now what are you going to do?

I crumpled it before I threw it in the nearest bin. There were not a few times I had been left with such messages, although this differed from the rest, it was unexpectedly civilized. Either way, I was not going to let it affect me.

The rain had stopped for the time being, I accelerated my step for every eventuality and in a very short time I found myself with my team at school. Today everything went smoothly without any particular teasing from Gianna. Halfway through, I asked to go to the bathroom.

I was given permission, so I headed that way, took off my toothbrush and toothpaste I had picked up earlier from the apartment. I was going to finish my evening routine here.

Elena: Why are you brushing your teeth here?

I came back surprised to see her.

Erica: What are you doing here?

I say half-curious and half-hearted by her question.

Elena: Just like you. I find an excuse to take a little break. We're so tired of him...

Erica: Yes, I think I'm getting ready for the Olympics.

I say slightly ironically. She lets a laugh escape.

Elena: You know... You're not as lame as everyone says, I expected you to be a big loser, but you're okay. Tell me what your number is, maybe we can hang out sometime.

Erica: Oh, I don't have a cell phone.

Elena: You don't have a cell phone! Well, what kind of time do you live in? Maybe you're a loser after all.

I'm trying to figure out if she means it or not.

Elena: I have to go. Come on, and soon the other one's going to freak out if he loses a minute of his precious training. So I'm letting you finish everything you do here.

I'm packing my things, and following her advice, I was right back.

It's a little cold, logical after a rain like this, but the lack of sun didn't help the situation. Before I knew it, I was on the ground floor, where Orpheus was.

Orpheus: Hello Erica.

Erica: Hi!!!

I didn't know how I had to feel for this kid. From the whole family, he was definitely one of the people who treated me with excess kindness. But on the other hand, I think it's just his front, he could talk bad about me behind my back and not tell me in my face.

Of course, maybe I was suspicious for no reason. The doors opened and Orpheus pressed the third button while I piled up behind him. I'm exhausted! Luckily, I had finished my obligations. Unfortunately, I had nothing else to do. Third floor announced lifelessly the girl, the doors opened Orpheus left Nadia entered.

Nadia: What happened to him and he won't say hello to me?

Erica: He's probably too tired.

Nadia: You're on the team too!

Erica: Yes! Didn't Orpheus tell you?

Nadia: No, I'm so happy for you!

Erica: Thank you.

Nadia: So now what are you going to do?

Erica: That's a very good question.....
