CHAPTER 2: MY LIFE BEFORE YOU

Meanwhile, in a simple house in Colán, Sol was in his hammock, although she could not fall asleep due to how pensive she was, since the memory suddenly returned to her mind of how she met the nice nervous boy who dances. The sauce was very good and his name was Arán, you could tell that the boy was fine by the way he dressed. Any other girl would have been attracted to it immediately, but not Sol, what she liked about him was his way of being and how well he danced and although they did not spend much time together, they did not speak much to say that she was beginning to know him It was enough for Sol to know that he was a good person, but in the end they could not even exchange numbers so he resigned himself to the idea that he would see him again and it was a shame since he had liked him very well. But she knew that they were from completely different worlds and that was going to be a strong impediment to something in the future and after a sigh and seeing the stars for a while, she fell fast asleep. Meanwhile in Paita, Arán could not fall asleep and regretted not having asked Sol for his number to keep in touch, it was something strange in him since he used to be very loose with the girls since in Trujillo he had several.

"Conquests", but with Sol he was left speechless and did not know what to do in front of her; Normally he would introduce himself and say something nice to the girl and let everything flow and end it all in a hotel night, since he did not like commitments; the only girlfriend that one could say he had was Antonella, a very beautiful but thoughtful and capricious girl; Both were the most popular in their school and it could be said that they were together because of social pressure and to increase their popularity more since they seemed to be the perfect couple, but they simulated most of the fights that were due to their complicated nature of Antonella, But she still had to endure it to satisfy her parents since they were the only girl they accepted for being from a distinguished family and at first glance she looked adorable and tender, but hides the other side that if she took it out she would surely disappoint anyone. Before traveling we had one of our typical fights and we have not spoken since then, but we will surely return to appear to continue as the ideal couple and in a certain part I liked Antonella, she seemed very attractive and passionate but she did not ignite that new feeling that Sol achieved with Just seeing her once and I kept thinking about her and wondering if she would think about me. The next morning I got a call from my good friend Erik, he was in Máncora with more friends and that was the trip I wanted to do and they wouldn't let me, he told me they were having a great time and I told him about Sol de how was she and what that ignited in me the first day I met her, Erik was very surprised and laughing he told me: -Hand it seems that you have really fallen in love and if Antonella finds out what you told me, she will surely cry out. I smiled and we continued talking for a long time until he had to hang up because he was going to go with the others to the beach. After the call was over, I went up to the balcony of the house and began to think about the good luck that Erik had to be my best friend, since the kindergarten we met we have not separated, he is very funny, cheerful and witty, He is always there when I need him and he knows everything I feel and what happens to me; Sometimes I envy him for good because unlike me, he did find true love in the hands of Rosa, a good friend, a very intelligent and understanding person without thinking that when we were not yet such good friends, she made life impossible for her He bothered her so much since he considered her a nerd just because she wore glasses and was very studious, he was too prejudiced in those years, but Erik was not like that and he was the only one who defended her from the attacks she received, he even sometimes caused All this little fights between us, but it was then the Achievement Day of our school and I completely forgot all that I had studied and Rosa instead left me there alone and let that shame pass, she helped me and showed me her great heart that she had and that she didn't hold a grudge against me for how I treated her, I asked her forgiveness for my behavior and for now to be very good friends; and although Antonella did not want her in our group, we still integrated her, although she objected but we did not pay attention to her and it was like that as between the beautiful friendship that the three of us had, the romance between Erik and Rosa arose, I was the cupid so that both of them realized what was evident at first glance, the two made a beautiful couple, they were the one for him other. I already wanted to have someone like that by my side, since Antonella and I were not made for each other because of the many differences we had, it was a toxic relationship as Erik and Rosa told me, but I did not want to see it that way, I thought that deep down we loved each other, but in our own way, well that was before I met Sol who has now confused me emotionally and I don't know what to think ... In the afternoon I started the search for social networks, but it was impossible for me to find her just knowing her name and face among so many people who are in them and I began to give up. The next day I went to Colán in search of Sol, but I did not find it and when I was going to Paita I noticed that there were several people watching something, I went out of curiosity to see what it was and it turned out to be Sol, who was singing for the public ; her voice was really beautiful and captivating, when she finished her number and asked for the collaboration, I stood at the end of the line and when I passed by I gave her a good tip, she smiled and when she was going to thank me she realized who I was We stared at each other, silence was present and within me there was a great joy to find this time not to leave it; after a while she said: -How did you find me? I smiled and told her that it was a coincidence of fate that we met again, she just stared at me, I asked her if she wanted to take a walk on the beach, she told me that she was working and I only responded with an okay and I sat down At a nearby bench, she asked me what I was doing and I replied: -Here I will wait for you until you finish working.
