I was hurrying to get ready for the first back-to-school party we used to call the ritual of the school year, but it was just a lame excuse for young people to stuff their faces. The clock struck 6:50 pm, if I didn't finish in less than five minutes I would be late. I was frantically curling my curls in a way to finish faster, which wasn't working, until the creak of the door woke me up and made me stop curling my hair. For a brief moment I thought it was my mother, until Felipe came through the door. - Hi, you're here already - I smiled as I saw him enter my room. - Yes my princess, you look very beautiful. - He said pulling me around the waist. I was wearing a black dress that emphasized my curves, my make-up was light, I wore only a base and a kitten eyeliner, along with a purple lipstick, which matched very well with what I was wearing. - You look like a prince, as always! - I returned the compliment. - You know I love it when you compliment me, don't you? - he asked, whispe
The day dawned and as usual my mother woke me up so that I wouldn't lose time, after I took my shower and did my needs and as soon as I left the bathroom I got dressed in my school uniform, went downstairs to the stairs and went towards the dining room and accompanied her at breakfast, Patricia, the woman who worked in our house had helped my mother with breakfast since today the cooks didn't come, as well as all the household stuff. My mother didn't like to depend on people and only agreed to have a woman to help her with the housework on my father's orders. - Mom, Felipe is here, I'm coming! - I warned from the door.- Have a good class.- Bless you mom.- May God bless you my daughter. As soon as we arrived I could see how the school was. The school situation was chaotic, several students were scattered in the central courtyard of the school, both new and veteran students. Pedro and Gabriel, Felipe's two friends, as soon as they saw us arrive came to accompany us and it was no di
When Felipe sat next to me he didn't say anything, it was as if he was angry about what had happened a few minutes ago, and as soon as the first teacher entered the room, he was totally immobile just thinking, and I would give anything to know what. The class went by quickly, well, it wasn't really a class, just the introduction of the teachers and the delivery of the content they would be going over. Sometimes I caught the new student staring at Felipe, who didn't seem to notice, but I made a point of kissing him and she quickly turned her face away. How could a person be the way she was?When we were released, both the dance team and the basketball team had stayed for the last practice before tomorrow's game, since we were going to dance for the opening. Aline and I were leaders of the dance team, not so close, but she was also my friend.- Not like this girls, the right leg comes first," I shouted so that everyone on the court could hear and adjust the choreography. - What if we
When I arrived at school, some people in the hallway were looking at me with a face as if they were sorry and I didn't know why, others were whispering that they were sorry and some that they liked what happened, which I didn't know what it was, but how could anyone wish evil on another? I went straight into the classroom to avoid the whispering, but it was inevitable since there they were also looking at me strangely. I sat at the last table and as soon as she saw me, Victoria came to talk to me. - How are you? - Vitória asked me with a warm look on her face while others had a pitying look on their faces. - Fine, Victoria," I frowned. - Are you sure," she asked. - Yes, why? - I asked confused - Didn't you see the school newspaper group? - Aline and Pedro suddenly appeared. - No, what's so great about it? - This - Pedro showed me a picture of Felipe and Caroline together in an ice cream parlor, but the problem wasn't that they were holding hands while Caroline put a scoop of
The light invaded my bedroom window, waking me from my not-so-quiet sleep. The memories of the inner night invaded my mind making me cry again. My chest ached for every moment that would never come back. I staggered to my feet and headed for the bathroom. My dark circles under my eyes showed how sad I was. My tears mixed with the shower water, nothing was forever and I knew it, but I didn't want to let him go either.When I got ready I went straight to the dining room, finding my parents sitting in it, which was a surprise since my father was never home and never had breakfast with us. My mother looked at me in a welcoming way as soon as she noticed my presence in that place, unlike my father who sighed, but he was quiet as if something worried him more than my termination. - Good morning," I said politely.My parents just looked at me, but none made a sound to return my good morning, which I ignored. The table was laden with food - which was normal, since we always had an abundant t
The day at school was not exactly different from yesterday, people were commenting on how sad I was and to my unhappiness Felipe was spreading that the reason for our breakup was my cheating on Arthur Jacob, which was totally untrue, but he used the excuse of the date and the fast start of the affair with Caroline on top of his cheating. It was obvious that our friends took my side, since they knew the truth and knew that I hadn't done anything to hurt him, unlike him. I was visibly broken and needed some fun in my life. When I got home from school it was exactly 11:30 in the morning, and to my surprise I found Arthur Jacob lying on my couch in the living room, my father was in an emergency meeting with Mr. Jacob taking care of something in the company, I heard from my mother that they had both been partners for a few years and that the Edwards family company had suffered a major theft three years ago and was now bankrupting us. Arthur looked at me in an amused manner, which made me
一 Felipe, what a surprise to see you here, what are you doing here? 一 My mother said smiling while I tried not to lower my head.一 I came to buy a dress for my girlfriend 一 I said excitedly.一 Congratulations on your relationship and may you be very happy! 一 She mocked as she wished for congratulations.一 Thank you Mariah, but what did you come here to do? 一 He asked and this time with all the courage in the world I answered.一 Buying a dress for tomorrow's party and for my engagement to Arthur Jacob 一 I bluffed and at the same time my mother looked at me scared.Felipe was pale and gaping as if he didn't understand what was happening. I immediately regretted what I had said, lies had a short leg, but as far as I knew, Arthur hated Felipe and maybe at that moment I thought I could have an ally, so I could take revenge on my dear ex-boyfriend.一 Engagement? 一 Felipe whispered and my mother was still looking at me in disbelief as Caroline was looking at him.一 Yes, engagement. It was ni
Unlike the previous days, today I woke up with loud noises coming from the ground floor, which made me try to muffle the noise with the pillow, but it was in vain. Could it be that they were demolishing my house and my parents forgot me inside? What was the probability of this happening, hypothetically speaking the probability was almost zero, since we didn't run the risk of losing the house or having it demolished by the city, since only they would have the power to do that.After I took a shower and got ready I rushed downstairs and when I reached the middle of the stairs I was surprised by some guys leaving boxes and more boxes in the hall. Before the living room, which was on the right side after the stairs, there was a lobby with a piano and a large space that normally was not used for anything unless it was party time. When I reached the bottom of the stairs, my mother was accompanied by a woman with a clipboard that I got to know quickly, her name is Elena and she is responsibl
We met in the hall in less than a minute, in a few seconds in fact. My school supplies were the same way I left them when I got home from school yesterday, and it was likely that Arthur had done that too before showering, leaving them somewhere that would facilitate their use 一 at least that's what I thought it was.一 Do you want to go to the library or stay in the room? 一 He asked me stopping in the hallway.一 Let's go to the living room, my mother will come soon to talk about the wedding party 一 I warned一 Oh, okay.We went downstairs and when we got there, we saw two cups of ice cream on the small table, it was a good dessert since I hadn't eaten an ice cream in a long time.一 And it's still strawberry, it's my favorite 一 I said as soon as I took the glass.一 Mine is vanilla.一 I like it a lot too.一 Let's play a joke while we're not done? 一 Arthur suggested一 What kind of joke?一 Questions and Answers 一 Answered一 Can I ask about everything? 一 I asked curiously一 Of everything.一
This morning is sunny, which is a relief as it would help me a lot to get to know a good part of the place I was living now. Last night, I asked Arthur to sleep in his room, I needed to think about the things that happened yesterday and the conversation we heard from Mr. Márcio, maybe it was nothing, but my mind made me think a thousand and one things, and my mother He always told me to trust my intuition.There was a light knock on my door, and since I didn't have class, I didn't have to worry about not being ready at this hour.一 Good morning flower of the day 一 Arthur said as soon as he saw me at the door.一 Good morning morning star.一 Aren't you going to school today? 一 He asked after evaluating me with his eyes.一 Teachers meeting 一 I explained一 I see. Will you still have breakfast with me? 一 asked一 Yes, just a minute and I'll be right down.一 Then I'll wait for you downstairs.一 I'll be here soon.As soon as Arthur came down, I went straight to the bathroom and brushed my tee
The weather was rainy and cold and when I looked out the window I realized we wouldn't have a sunny day for quite some time. Arthur grabbed my waist as if he didn't want to let me go 一 My thin and small body fit perfectly on his making me feel comfortable and at the same time ashamed.I move away carefully so I don't wake him up and looking at him I feel calm. He was sleeping peacefully, his face was calm and relaxed, his pale skin and his full pink mouth made me want to kiss him 一 what the hell was I thinking?一 If you look at my mouth too much, I'll kiss you 一 He said and I jumped out of bed which resulted in a fall.一 You were awake this whole time and didn't say anything 一 Rosnei一 I would lose fun if I spoke.一 You're really cute, Arthur!一 I know love"Love" was a word I hadn't heard in a long time, and I wasn't used to being called that and I was sure by now I was as red as a bell pepper.一 No need to blush, I was joking 一 He said confirming my doubt.一 As if I blushed just bec
I didn't sleep well last night, I woke up several times in the middle of the night and I wasn't very happy when I realized I was alone, and when I managed to fall asleep, I woke up half an hour later with the alarm clock going off. To my misfortune, it was already 06:00 in the morning.I clearly observed my room and it was fit for a princess. Unlike my old room, this one didn't have a closet, but the wardrobe did justice to the lack of it 一 An old wood and all detailed was what gave the old wardrobe a charm, the dresser next to the window that gave a view to the forest was the same model as the wardrobe, the same as the mattress that was softer than mine.The room in baby pink left me enchanted, just like the candlestick and the chandelier on the roof of the car. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom in my room and I realized that its construction was similar to the rest of the house.The shower was quick, but it didn't stop me from thinking about everything that happened in the l
The sun woke me up making me open my eyes quickly which led me to close them the same way I opened them because of the light, I was in my room covered by my duvet and looking to the side, I see that Arthur is sleeping heavily that both were without clothes. My head was throbbing and oddly enough I didn't remember anything that had happened at the auction or even how I had come to be here, what I had done, my God.I couldn't believe that that had really happened between us, one hour we were in the lobby of my house enjoying the auction and the next I wake up and see him with his naked body on top of my bed, it wasn't possible that I got drunk with just one drink, was it? I was visibly sad and furious, would Arthur be able to take advantage of me while I was drunk?Looking to the side, I realized that Arthur was waking up and I was looking at him so that as soon as he saw me he would give me an explanation, because I know that I don't get drunk so easily and that if that were the case,
I felt like I was in a clichéd teenage movie, but instead of being the suffering girl I was being branded as the villain and now that didn't matter to me anymore, because I knew myself well enough to know that I would never play that role. Even on the first floor I could already hear the loud sound of music coming from the floor below and that was making me anxious, classical music invaded my ears calming me down and making me feel peaceful, and that's when I felt ready to attend the party .I held my dress and went down the stairs slowly so as not to end up falling, if that happened, the fall would be quite ugly. On the last step of the stairs I saw several familiar faces 一 but only one of them caught my attention. Caroline had a glass of champagne in her hand as she greeted Mr. Jacob, she clearly had something to do with the wealthier families, and that I was going to find out what it was. It was clear that she hadn't been invited and that she had probably come with Felipe and his f
