Connecting

The girls stayed admiring the scenery and talking to each other, I decided to go back to work and attend a little more than my hour to subtract the absent hours, by 12:30 pm I had finished my day and I changed into the clothes I had before, I kept my work clothes and went to the girls along with a cup of warm chocolate.

The girls updated me and supported the restaurant t-shirt, I smiled a little blushed and after finishing my drink we left, on the way they decided to call the others and I decided not to talk and just hear what they said about having a meeting, they had all accepted without much insistence, by their tone of voice I felt them anxious and a little nervous, although I wanted to know why, I agreed to just wait for the scheduled day and then ask.

I arrived home and turned on the laptop for my online lessons, from there they sent us the papers and with that the announcement of the closing of that stage of the course, from there I started to see the careers that caught my attention and printed all the information to see them one by one, while reading the career of Education I decided to go downstairs to prepare lunch, so while doing so I received a message from the girls with their new numbers, I scheduled them and from there they created a group where Clau had added me.

I just limited myself to read and didn't write anything, I talked by voice messages with Margaret and gave my opinion, but I decided to be the mystery girl of the group, partly I just wanted to be a spectator and between Claudia and Margaret gave an idea, we would meet in the hotel of the last time we were a group and I would be hidden and I would come out at a given time, the idea was to hear the true intentions and that way I could tell everything in an easier way.

That seemed like a good idea to me since I wanted to know the truth, and not a lie in front of me, when I had turned everything off Ricardo arrived and with his typical greeting he looked at my cell phone, clearly that made me angry but when I was going to complain he said

Ricardo: Are you sure about that, sister?

Casandra: It's strange to see you worried, did something happen that I don't know about?

Ricardo: not really, but you should put yourself in their shoes, don't you think that will show them that you don't trust them?

Casandra: I'm not going to do it as you are planning, it will be like a surprise, besides if I see that things get out of control I can stop it -long pause- this time I can't afford to leave them alone.

Ricardo: -fixed look- you say that in case Estela shows up, is that why you want to show up later?

Cassandra: That's right brother.

Ricardo comes closer to me and tousles my hair while he says I'm a good girl, he knew that made me uncomfortable but seeing him with a calmer gesture made me realize that he was also worried about them, while I asked him to wash his hands I was serving lunch for us.
