- Valeria! Julia yelled.

At that moment I felt immense fear, I could hardly even react ...

As I fell, I felt that they grabbed me by the arm, and then they wrapped me in their arms. This act cushioned my fall.

Little by little I was opening my eyes, I saw the boy below me, he was still holding me tightly.

-Hears…. Hey, are you okay? I started to move him so he could react.

"It hurts…" He exclaimed, putting his hands to his face.

I sighed in relief to see that he at least he was reacting.

"Valeria ...

I looked up and saw Julia, she looked scared.

"I'm fine ..." I answered, trying to get out of the boy's enzyme.

- Doesn't anything hurt? —Julia touched my shoulder, at that moment I felt a slight pain, but I didn't take it important.

"No…" I looked at the boy who was getting to his feet.

Why did he jump too?

He didn't enter my head as someone so stupid could jump out of a tree just to look good ...

"Silly…" I whispered. Following that Julia hit me on the arm. - Ow! I glared at her. She also looked like that.

- How can you call him a fool, after he tried to help you?

"To begin with, he started it all and besides ... No one asked him for help," I exclaimed.

Speaking of starting it all, where's the book?

I looked to the side, I saw him next to the branch from which I fell.

I rushed to take it, cleaned it and looked to see if nothing had happened to it. Apparently he only had dust, but nothing else.

I felt the presence of someone behind me.

I turned around quickly, there I met the angry look of Professor Galilei.

—Miss Carvajal What happened here?

-This…. She broke the branch. I said with a smile pointing to the tree.

"Yes, I do, but how did the branch break?" —He crossed his arms

"Uuunn… Obese bird?" I lifted my shoulders and smiled at him.

"To the address now." She indicated her office with her finger.

-But…

She ignored me and she saw the red-haired boy.

- And who are you? –Asked the professor.

"I'm the janitor's nephew." –He said while he straightened up

—Don Marcos's nephew… He may not be at the establishment, but this should never be done again, understand?

The boy only nodded slightly.

I was outraged to see that the teacher did nothing against him, just for being the janitor's nephew.

- You are injured? –Asked the professor.

"I think I got my arm loose." He groped his arm.

- And how did all this happen? The professor turned to see me.

-This…

—It was because the boy wanted to protect Valeria from the fall. Julia said smiling.

"So it was all his fault, miss…" The professor smiled slightly.

"It wasn't mine, it was his fault, for placing my book on the tree." –I pointed to the boy with my angry finger.

"Don't try to blame someone else…" The professor paused for breath. -Before going to the address go to the infirmary, let's make sure they are well.

I nodded reluctantly and walked over to her. The boy was next to me quiet, but after a while he spoke

- Doesn't anything hurt? He asked trying to take my arm. I pushed it away so it wouldn't touch me.

-I'm fine. I said serious and hastened my step towards the infirmary. In a short time we were both inside, but the nurse was not there.

And still they pay him ...

I sat down on the gurney and took my book.

I felt the boy's gaze towards me, but I tried to ignore it ... After a while I couldn't take it anymore, I closed the book and looked at it

- Do I have monkeys painted on my face or what?

He just laughed and walked over to me.

"W ... wh ... e" I tried to pull away a little, but he was getting closer and closer. Then he reached his hand towards my face making me more nervous.

"You have leaves in your hair." –He said pulling one of my hair.

"Thank you…" I pushed it away and sighed in relief.

- Why is this book so important? He - took the book that he had aside.

I snatched it out of his hands and put it under my vest.

-Because if.

- Because if?

"Because it belongs to my aunt."

—It's his diary

- How do you know? You read it? I stood up and hit him on the arm. He made a pained expression and touched his arm lightly.

"No, because it says Maria's diary outside."

I looked at the cover of the book, and if it said diary of Maria

-True…. –I said serious.

- Aren't you going to apologize? He laughed.

- Of what?

"For hitting me."

-You deserve it.

- What?

"If you had never taken the book from me, this wouldn't have happened."

"Well, that was the plan."

- Fall off the tree?

"No, the plan was to attract you with the book."

"I'm not a dog that you have to attract me with something." –I said angrily going to the door.

I stopped at the edge of it and sighed

—If your arm hurts a lot, go to the hospital, I don't think the nurse will come later. I adjusted my vest and headed for the director's room.

As I was on the road, I took out the book and a pencil that I had in my pocket. On the back of the book I wrote ...

Reason number one not to fall in love:

They may try to lure you in and then look cool, they can also make you fall ... (literally from time to time do)

Note to self: Complaining to the director about the nurse's salary, you are not working enough.
