"Maia wants to make a video call."

Maia

Me

I'm sorry I have to go

I think I'm not ready for this yet. My door opens, my friends enter as if they were their home. But I'm not complaining because it's like they are part of my family.

-I'm so proud of your father- Sol tells me- I hated Cecilia, she had fed up with us all.

Everyone agrees, then my cell phone starts ringing, I see it and Maia is calling me again, I don't answer but my friends are looking at me like "answering".

-omg, it's Maia, why don't you answer?- says Dante.

-because no, I still don't want to make a video call with her

-Who is Maia?- Abby asks.

-a friend

-I think you don't see her as a- Dante

Sol takes my cell phone from me and Dante answers him. I was paralyzed. Then I hear her voice: "hello?" It sounded so angelic, I missed hearing it, my heart wouldn't stop beating fast.

-Hello, I'm Dante, do you remember me?

-Yeah, how not to- Maia

-Hi, I'm Abby, and she is Sol, we are Gina's friends- Abby says so excited.

-Hello girls, and where is Gina? I want to help her with her homework- Maia

I beckoned them to tell him I wasn't there. I think they will listen to me for the first time.

-Here it is, look at it- says Sol turning the camera.

It's as if everything was in slow motion, I saw her on the other side of the screen, she was without glasses, she smiled at me and I did the same.

-Gina!! We can finally talk almost in person hahaha- Maia

-Hi, yeah well- my voice sounded super shy.

-Are you busy with your friends? Tell me, because if it's yes, I'll leave you and we can talk another day- Maia

My friends would tell me to tell her I wasn't busy, but obviously they got on my nerves.

-Yes, I'm busy, we'll write to each other tomorrow, take care, kisses- I said everything quickly and hung up on her.

I sighed calmly.

-How can you do that?- Dante

-To begin with, you should not have answered, I was trembling for god

-If you never give yourself a chance again, you won't be able to find the one- Sol

-What happened was a long time ago Gina, don't let anything or anyone close the doors of love for you- Abby

-Enough, I don't like to talk about it, I decide what to do with my life- I say very loudly so that they understand that I am bothering myself.

-Okay, I have to go, you know, I have dance classes- Abby says and comes over to say goodbye- see you tomorrow.

Sol and Dante stayed two more hours, after trying to do their homework, I was thinking what Sol and Abby told me, they are right, I am totally determined to say that I feel something for Maia, I cannot fool myself, I must give myself a chance.
