CHAPTER 10 - Confusion

"What movie are we going to watch?" Ana asked.

After we left the clothing store, we went to the movies. As it is Sunday, today is very busy.

"How about we watch the launch of the week?"

"They say it's a good horror movie. Plus, it's 20 minutes to go, so I can buy some popcorn."

I agreed with Ana's words, we spent a long time in the clothing store and we are hungry.

"I buy tickets and you buy popcorn and candy?" Ana asked.

"OK"

We parted, I joined the popcorn line and Ana the ticket line. There were three people in front of me, my turn was coming.

"Next." said the attendant.

Just as I was about to step forward, a guy walked over and walked towards the counter. Me and everyone behind me in line were surprised.

"I want…"

Seeing this scene, I felt the blood rush to my head.

"Hey"

I grabbed his shoulder. Feeling the powerful force squeezing his shoulder, he looked at me.

"What?"

"Haven't you seen the line?"

"I don't stand in lines."

This guy is very arrogant. Probably the son of someone rich. No matter the world, there are always idiots like that.

I couldn't control my anger and grabbed him by the shirt.

"Hey, let me go."

I responded to his request and released him. I let go of him and threw him out of line, he's a light person.

The people around us focused their attention on us.

Everyone tried not to laugh at him.

The arrogant black-haired boy who jumped the line fell in a funny way. He saw the reaction of the people around him and got up quickly, embarrassed and angry he walked towards me.

Right now, I don't care about the consequences. I'm going to teach this idiot a good lesson.

"Rick and Jhonatan. Stop!"

I knew the owner of the voice, she sits beside me in the classroom. There's no way I don't know.

I looked at Julia, as always she was beautiful. She looked prettier in casual clothes.

What is she doing here? Furthermore, Jhonatan? Does she know this idiot?

I left those doubts aside when I saw a man behind her. He had gray hair and a bushy beard, he must have been in his forties.

"Dad, did this guy hit me?" Jhonatan said.

Listening to Jhonatan's speech, my anger grew even greater. This guy is really spoiled.

"Did you hit my brother?" Julia asked.

My previous questions were answered by this speech by Julia. If it's her brother, obviously she knows him.

"I didn't hit him, he jumped the line and I took him out."

"Again? Jhonatan, are you causing trouble again?." Julia said.

"What?"

The bearded man left the two arguing and approached me. In a serious tone he asked.

"What gives you the right to touch my son?"

Julia and Jhonatan stop arguing and focus their attention on us.

"Dad."

"Silence."

Julia tried to intervene, but her speech was interrupted. She couldn't dispute her father's authority.

"Your son is arrogant and spoiled. If he had received a better education, none of this would have happened."

.....

(Julia's father POV)

Once again, my son Jhonatan caused problems. Being my first child, I ended up spoiling him.

Currently, he has become a disappointment.

Apparently, he had problems with a classmate of Julia's. If he hadn't touched my son, I wouldn't have gotten involved.

"Your son is arrogant and spoiled. If he had received a better education, none of this would have happened."

I'm forty-five years old, and looking at this boy, I can tell he's angry. But there's no reason for him to talk like that.

"Are you saying it's my fault?"

I asked in such a cold tone. The boy took a deep breath and soothed his anger.

"From your son's attitude, he thinks you'll fix everything. That's why he's arrogant and doesn't respect anyone, showing a lack of basic education. Education comes from home, if it's not your fault then whose fault it is? ".

I was shocked, he managed to analyze my son within five minutes. I should be angry, but again, he told the truth. It's my fault Jhonatan is like that.

Should I apologize? Not yet. I want to know a little more about this boy.

"You know who I am?"

"I didn't know it at first, but when Julia called you Dad I found out your identity. You're Thomas Lucca, the famous millionaire businessman in town."

"You are not afraid?"

A smile appeared on the boy's face.

"Why should I be afraid? You think your money is above the law of this country. You can use it for bribes or to hire someone to eliminate me, but none of that will work. I have complete confidence in my abilities."

I've dealt with many people in my life, but none of them had eyes as deep as this boy. I could tell his speech is nothing but arrogance, but he has complete confidence in himself.

"Jhonatan, come here."

My son approached.

"Yes, father."

I put my hand on his head and pushed it down, causing her body to lean forward.

"I apologize for my son's attitude. To all of you." I said.

The boy in front of me was surprised. He didn't expect this change in attitude, my daughter Julia was also surprised.

"Fine, if you'll excuse me." said the boy.

The boy turned around. Seeing her figure go away, I asked my daughter.

"Who is he?"

"My classmate, his name is Richard."

Richard, there is something special about this boy.

"I liked him."

.....

(POV Julia)

My dad and Rick started arguing about my brother's guilt. Everyone bows to my dad, but Rick is different. He was unafraid and exuded an aura full of confidence.

He even criticized my father, something I would never have the courage to do. My father knows he was wrong to raise my brother, so his attitude towards me is more severe.

I was surprised and couldn't believe what I saw. My dad made my brother bow his head and apologize.

"Who is he?" my father asked me.

"My colleague's, his name is Richard."

"I liked him."

My eyes widened. On my father's face there was a rare smile.

I looked at Rick walking away, seeing that figure with his head held high, I felt a heat rise in my chest.

.....

(POV Rick)

I finished buying what Ana asked for. Due to the argument, I didn't pay attention to Julia.

She probably went to the movies with her family, that's all. Unfortunately, your brother must have ruined the day.

"What took you so long? The movie is about to start."

Ana said as I approached her.

"I'm sorry. There were some unforeseen events."

Ana and I quickly entered the movie theater. The room was already full, the only seats were in the back.

Today's film is in the horror genre, I was lucky to be that genre. The reason is simple.

During the film, Ana held hands with me most of the time.

I have more fun with her reactions than the movie.

In the end, Ana didn't let go of my hand until we left the movie.
