Chapter 4 Yes, you´re right

  • After taking the stormiest trip of my life, I understood why people are always in a hurry, for me; going to university was always as simple as taking my bag, going out, getting in a car, and indicating the destination I wanted. But the reality is life is different, most people make that journey the way I did today. On public transport, standing, surrounded by sweaty people. I still have the stench of sweat in my nose, I smell my clothes and it seems to me that it's me. Which is more than likely.
  • "Stop smelling you, you look like a dog," Kayla told me, another of my friends whom we ran into at the entrance to the language building.
  • – You will think that it is a lie, but I think I smell ugly
  • – You're crazy – Fanny told me – I already told you many times that you don't have a bad smell – we were standing in front of the building, waiting for the time to enter
  • – do we have to stand here? We look crazy. Kayla asked.
  • - Yes, I'm not going anywhere, I'm very tired and I don't think it's appropriate to walk more than necessary - I replied
  • – She's spoiled – Estefanía said and they both laughed – by God – that expression made me and Kayla see what she was looking at. The three of us were stunned, it was Gabriel, getting out of the most luxurious car I'd seen since I left my house. – could well have brought us
  • – Do you know the new guy? - Kayla asked - everyone at the university wants to know his name, and I mean all, without exaggerating - that was impossible for her, she always exaggerated everything
  • – is our neighbor and our manager. It seems that he is chasing us - I said without taking my eyes off him. He exerted magnetic energy on me.
  • – but don't look at him Kayla – Estefanía told her – he likes Luna
  • - We'll see about that - Kayla has a very competitive personality, even with Fanny and me, who are her only friends, on the way to Gabriel
  • Why are you saying that he likes me? I asked Fanny
  • – because it's the truth since he got out of the car he can't stop looking at you, I even think his saliva came out
  • - look you exaggerate - I looked at my watch - let's go inside, otherwise, we will be late - she looked at me and smiled evilly, Kayla was throwing herself on Gabriel
  • "Gabriel" Estefanía yelled at him, he looked at her, pushed Kayla off him, and walked towards us.
  • – Hello, girls, you could have waited for me. I went out looking for them to come together and they were no longer anywhere.
  • - See Luna, I told you that he was not such a bad person - he looked at me amazed
  • – so you think I'm a bad person? – Estefanía put me in an embarrassing situation, I'm sure she did it on purpose, I never told her something like that, nor would she. I didn't know Gabriel before this morning; I have no real idea what he can be like. We saw Kayla come towards us with a scowl on her face.
  • – Don't you plan to introduce me? He doesn't like to talk to strangers. He is a good boy who listens to his mother - Gabriel ignored her, or he did not know how to respond to that shameless flirtation.
  • "Now he and Luna have to clarify something, so you and I are going to go inside," Estefanía told her.
  • "But I don't want to," Kayla complained, but even so, Estefanía dragged her into the building.
  • - Girls - I yelled at them and started to follow them, but he held me by the arm, I looked at him very seriously.
  • – do you think I'm a bad person? - As she saw that I had no intention of going anywhere, she let go of my arm.
  • - I never said that - I clarified - it was just a joke from Estefanía, you have not done anything to me to make me believe that you are a bad person
  • – she seemed very serious when she said it – she looked sad when she said it
  • – She usually makes that kind of joke and doesn't pay attention to her.
  • - then I'm glad to hear it
  • – Do you care what I think of you? - She thought about it for a moment, I took the time to look at him, that was going to become my Jovi from today, when I get married, it has to be with a guy as handsome as this one.
  • Luna, are you listening to me?
  • - What? - he laughed
  • - Luna, you're on the moon - he laughed - I was telling you if I care what you think of me - Estefanía could be right, maybe he was crazy and he liked me
  • - do you like me? – It slipped out of my head, without thinking. Like most times I get into trouble, my brain and my mouth had problems understanding - please don't answer that - he was smiling, I didn't know what to say - Estefanía puts things in my head, later my brain, which is crazy; He formulates his questions, and he gets me in trouble - I explained, half rushing, half stuttering.
  • – Does Estefanía think I like you? - I ask
  • - I know it's crazy, but I'm even crazier to pay attention to it - he looked at me seriously while I spoke, I'm sorry I asked that - I finally said, he passed by me and took my bag with the books
  • – Estefanía is an intelligent girl – she said and left me petrified, that could only mean one thing, that she liked me. - Are you going to stand there or are you going to follow me? We're going to be late. - I followed him in silence - are you not going to ask anything else? I just shook my head.
  • I don't think I should ask anything else
  • – so you don't want me to give you a direct answer to your question? – He was looking for me to ask, but I wasn't going to do it.
  • – If at any time you want to tell me something, I think you will do it without me asking you anything. – She thought about it for a second.
  • - Yes, you're right - he stopped me in front of the door of the room where we had to enter - besides, I don't think you're ready to listen to what I have to tell you. I just stood there, petrified. I saw him come in and put my bag on the seat next to Estefanía's, he said something to her and continued to the end of the room.
