I went to the living room angry.

Upon entering I looked for Julia, but she was nowhere to be seen. I asked my other colleagues if they had seen it but they all denied.

Where did she go

As I walked the corridors of her looking for her, her shoulder began to pass me the account of her, from time to time I would stop to rest and that the pain would pass, but only for a certain time.

Resigning myself to not finding Julia, I leaned back on a bench.

I settled down and took out my aunt's book, looked at it with anger and contempt.

"This is all your fault," I said giving him a little tap.

Then I started to think, if this is my aunt's diary ... Why is it written as a true story?

Curiosity entered me. I opened the book to a random page, I read between skipped lines since I wanted to find something interesting and I achieved it by being in the third line of one of the verses of the seventh page, it said: “As soon as I enter my grandmother's house , I found __'s face in front of me making my stomach turn "

I looked surprised at that line, my aunt never told me that she was in love with someone since now she is still single at 43 years old ... I wondered what the name of that boy would be since it only came out "__"

A few pages ahead but nothing came out ... Apparently she had not finished it ... I wonder if this story is real or she only did it to fantasize about herself.

I closed the book and put it aside, I looked to the sides to see if Julia was visible, but nothing, instead I saw a group of boys following a small girl with long hair towards the soccer area.

-Poor thing ... followed by monkeys ...

-Who do you call monkey?

I turned to look behind me and found Julia's smiling face.

-Where you were? –I told her angrily.

-I was watching how the third years played soccer.

-AND?

- They lost as always against the fourth. She –she said as she sat to one side.

-They are not even good for following a ball ... even a dog is much better than them.

She gave me a resigned look, then her gaze went to the book. She took it and opened it to look at it, then I saw her expression change to one of "And this?"

"Hey ..." She said to me, holding the book to me. -And that?

-A book, I present it to you. –I said laughing.

-Ha ha - she said she mockingly -This is a diary, why do you have it?

-Because it belongs to my aunt and she gave it to me. I snatched it out of his hands and put it on my lap.

"Well, your aunt had a good imagination." She - got up from the bench and adjusted her skirt, then she extended her hand for me to get up. I took it and did the same to shake off her skirt.

"They're going to knock to get into class," she told me, heading towards the building.

I just followed her next to her without saying anything, but she broke the silence.

"And what happened to the director," she said laughing.

-Nothing -I said sure -It was like talking to a toy -I laughed.

-Why?

-Because ... he didn't say anything serious to me, he just punished me. "If she told him that she was a real stuffed animal, she wouldn't believe me and I already look crazy enough at the moment."

-Wow, so serious ... and with the boy, how was she? She –she said looking at me raising her eyebrows.

-They also punished him

-And with what?

-We have to plant a tree, together, and wait for it to grow a meter and a half, and when it is that height we will get out of punishment.

-You have for a while.

-I know.

-That's easier to fulfill the bet, right? She –she said hitting me on the arm.

-I will write the list, that's clear, but I'm not going to fall in love. I said hitting him back.

We quickly reached the room and each one went to her place.

So we spent the last hour of class before leaving, nor did we do anything since the teacher did nothing more than review exams.

At the time of departure I separated from Julia since she went with other friends to see a movie, while I had to go buy the silly things for the tree.

While I was going out as fast as possible so as not to run into Max, but it was in vain since as I passed by the big tree from before, he jumped in front of me dropping the leaves one by one and with wood little by little, I did not I'd be surprised if when I got home I caught a larva on my head.

-Where are you going? –He said while he cleaned his hair.

-To buy things for the tree. –I told her angrily trying to push the leaves she was throwing away.

-Were you going alone?

-I wasn't going to beg you to come with me ... hey, what's the fun of climbing trees?

-That I don't bump into people in a bad mood, and apart from that, the tree won't claim you if you're an enzyme of it.

-That makes no sense.

-I know, it is a custom to climb trees, do you understand that?

"Mmmm ... better," I said heading to the gate. Max did not claim and followed me.

We both went to the garden that was near the station, this was large which could put trees up to 4 meters high, they also had animals such as fish, turtles, ferrets ...

As we walked the corridors I stopped at every moment to admire the variety of animals in the store.

-How cute -I said while putting my finger against the glass of the fish tank. Max stopped every time I did it, I told him several times that he should go get the first things but he refused at all times.

We continue walking until we come across a white rabbit. His eyes were red and he was big and heavy.

-What do they feed you little one? –I said, approaching the cage with my finger, but at the moment of supporting it the rabbit bit me. -Who! –I said turning away from him. Then I looked at my finger, there was a little blood coming out but nothing to worry about.

"That's because you get too close to them," Max exclaimed taking my hand to see her. -What's the fun of stopping at all times to see them?

-Because they are cute, apart from that there is nothing wrong with seeing animals that rarely frequent here.

-It seems that you like animals more than the boys at school.

-Why?

-I heard you while you were waiting for your friend on the bench. –She said as she took a comforter out of her pocket.

-Were you spying on me?

-I was up in the tree first, you were the one who arrived later.

-Well, yes, I like animals more than boys.

-And why is that?

-Because animals are sincere at all times, not like boys who invent things to look good.

-Yes, animals express themselves so well, like that rabbit. –He said laughing.

-At least he was sincere and he told me that he does not like me. –I put my finger aside since I was wrapping it up whole.

-I don't think so, have come. –He said taking me by the hand towards the rabbit cage. He let the rabbit sniff his hand first, then reached in to stroke it and the rabbit let go.

"To you if he loves you" I said reluctantly.

"Come on." He took my hand and slowly approached the cage.

"No," I said trying to get her away from her but he took her back.

-Nothing will happen to you. He –he said giving me a confident smile. I ignored him insecurely and put my hand closer. I let him smell it for a moment and then I put it in. The rabbit let him caress it as if nothing had happened before.

"How soft," I said happily.

"Yes," Max replied while he also stroked the rabbit. –Let's go buy the things for the tree.

I nodded slowly and took my hand out of the cage.

We buy things and head to school.

***

-That's not how you plant it –I said while he took the plant out of her hands.

-Then how is it done? –Said Max frustrated.

-Let me do it.

I put it aside and knelt next to the hole we made for the tree. Slowly I took the tree out of the pot and pushed it into the hole until it fitted well.

-See, now you have to put the soil that is missing enzyme. –Max knelt next to me and began to put the earth in the hole filling in what was missing.

"Ready," said the tired man and sitting down on the grass to one side.

-Yes -I also leaned back on the grass.

The breeze and the sound of the leaves of the trees make a beautiful harmony for the calm day.

"What do you think?" Max asked me, lying down next to me.

-In how silly you are to always be in the trees, you look cute.

-But that's a good thing, isn't it?

-Why?

-Because it would be an animal, that would mean you like me, right?

-It has nothing to do with it.

-But you didn't deny it.

-Shut up and enjoy the calm. I said closing my eyes slowly. Max closed his mouth and made that nice quiet sound come back again.

As time passed, it was getting late. The previously blue sky was now an orange color mixed with the clouds which slipped away with the sun.

"It's time to go," I said, lifting myself carefully by the shoulder. I dusted off my uniform and grabbed my things. -Well, until tomorrow. –I said walking away from Max.

As I walked I felt the grip of one of my hands pulling me back.

-What happens? –I said looking at Max.

"You kept the book," he said, bringing it closer to me.

-Ooh thanks. –I said taking it. -Well bye. –I said turning around.

"Goodbye," He said giving me a kiss on the cheek, then he turned away from him and went to the school building calmly.

I continued walking as if nothing, but inside I felt like a mess ... don't wait, I didn't eat anything for lunch because of him.

The kiss didn't really give me anything ... just a little blush that it gives to anyone.

As I was walking, I took out a pencil and wrote again on the same sheet as before.

"Reason number two not to fall in love:

They can confuse things causing you bad moments or that you mistake them for animals ... (That doesn't make much sense) "

Hahaha fall in love? Not to mention, the bet will be a piece of cake.

I closed the notebook and headed home.
