Chapter 03

I never believed in true love, I always thought that people who claimed to be in love were just lying. Because they didn't want to tell the truth or their true feelings, but what's so good about this love? I thought like that for a long time, until a boy changed my opinion and way of thinking about love.

I had lost my parents when I was 6 years old in a car accident, I was welcomed by my uncles, I closed myself off from everything and everyone, as is the name of these people, oh yes! "Inmates", sitting on a park bench, unwilling to play with the other children, there was one in particular who kept insisting that we play together, every time I refused he came back and insisted, his energy and insistence got mestressed until one day I decided to go play with him.

Every day he was always in the same place as always, and alwayswe were kidding, when I got sick he would see me straight away.

I still remember the day, it was late afternoon, the sun was setting and showing a beautiful view of an orange sky, on the soft sand of the beach we made a promise of whenus when we grew up we were going to get married, but fate was not in our favor, my uncles were moving because he found a better job and paid more.

On the last day I had to declare myself to him, we agreed to meet in the park, but for some reason he didn't show up, and then 4 years passed, and I returned to my dear city when I thought I would never see him again , I ended up going to the same school as him by fate, finally I'm back next to my beloved, but does he remember me?! It's been 4 years since we've seen each other and he's grown up and he's so handsome, he was already handsome! now it seems that it is even more beautiful, there my heart, I was already in love with him now I am even more.

Wait!Before of me going after him, I'll watch him for a fewdays. I am so happy to have found him again. I'm pretty close to his tastes, and wait isn't he popular?! Isn't a boy as handsome as him popular with girls? So does that mean he's waiting for me, or he just hasn't found anyone yet?!

These doubts are killing me, I'm going to act soon and I'm not going to waste time with it, because if I delay another one, he can take it from me, but, what do I do to get his attention? I think I'm going to appeal to the romantic and "old-fashioned" way I'm going to write a love letter, but what do I put in the letter?! Do I sign the name or let him find out, during class I find out, I'm going to get his number now, damn it, how do I find out thenumber from him? I ask him?!Not better no, i'll try to ask one of your friends, that! I'll do it right awaysubject sorted out.

Now that I've decided to get his number from his friend, I'm going to think about what to write in the letter and whether I sign my name or not, I'm going to search here, I thought it was a good idea to write a love letter, but, not leaving the name, that it was going to be fantastic. Because he would read it and know I sent it.

I'm going to write the letter and at lunch time I'm going to put it in his shoe closet, and I'm going to be spying on his reaction, will it work?

Is it time for lunch already?! I got so caught up in trying to make everything perfect that the day is going by and I can't do anything right so far I've only managed to come to terms with the idea of asking his friend for his number, but what do I write in the letter?! And how do I get him to read it and find out it's me!? I think it's time for me to be honest and write what I really feel in this letter and see what happens next, for now I'm going to find his friend, how am I going to get to his friend if they are always together, I'm almost giving up there are many doubts that cross my mind if I think about it all I'll end up giving up.

I'm going to get up and go after him, butquestion: where is he? I'm going to look in the garden, I'll find him there and hopefully I'll find him alone, it will be a great help and will prevent me from letting my beloved see me before time.

After looking for him, I found him talking to my beloved, the way is to hide and wait for him to leave, man, it was a little difficult to find him alone. I spent almost half an hour waiting for my darling to get away from him, but it's time to go to him.

I approached him slowly and gently touched his shoulder, he turned around and in my eyes his eyes shone as if he had found another one or something, a smile appeared from ear to ear, what is going on in his mind ?

- Hey! Can I help you with something? - he said as if he was waiting for me to talk to him or something like that.

- You're Paulo's friend, aren't you? I need a big favor from you. - I replied to him a little afraid of his answer, but suddenly his smile fell and as if he was disappointed he just nodded positively to my question.

- Ah, always Paulo! What can I help you with? Do you want his number, do you want to know how tall he is, what he likes, or if he already has a girlfriend? - he said somewhat disappointed as if the girlslook for just to talk about my dear.

- No! I don't want any of that. Wait, I just want to know if you can pass me thenumber from him. - I replied with enthusiasm, he reached into his pocket and took out a small piece of folded paper and handed it to me, then without saying anything else he just turned and walked away, he seemed quite disappointed with something.

"Done! Get his number, now I just need to write the letter and put it in his shoe locker, before sixth period, I'll run to write the letter." I thought happily, I ran to the classroom, but, because I had my head down and so happy, I didn't see who was ahead of me and I ended up bumping into the person I least wanted to meet now, with the blow I ended up falling on top him and he when he saw me his face turned red with embarrassment, he was so cute embarrassed. I wanted to shower him with kisses right then and there.

- I'm sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going are you okay? - he said like a gentleman trying not to look at my bra that was showing, I got up all flushed and without saying anything I ran to the living room, "Oh my God! What was that?!I bumped soon with my darling, and he was so cute wanting not to look at my bra, I got all embarrassed just being on top of him" I said as I looked at the picture I had of the two of us when we were little.

I started writing the letter all happy, and I was very happy to have fallen in love with him right away, a person who was with me throughout my childhood and was always there to help me when I was sick or sad,ahh... I love him very much... "I love you Paulo." Said it out loud inoneexplosion of happiness.

"Knock Knock"

- Excuse me! Thank you for your confession of love, but I'm afraid I cannot accept it. - he said while he was all flushed and trying not to look me in the eyes, he was holding something.

Hearing this, I became very ashamed and lowered my head.head, I tried keep calm and see what he wanted with me.

- Good! I think this is yours. You dropped it when you bumped into me. - he said handing me a brooch, how angry I dropped the brooch he gave me when we were little.

- O-O-Obri... thank you! - I replied with a little difficulty, the words seemed to not want to come out of my throat.

- This pin looks like the one I gave to a childhood friend 6 years ago. - he said through a smile, my heart almost stopped when I saw that smile, his words made my heart race "But, you gave it to me." I replied to him in thought, I was so embarrassed it felt like my world was spinning, I nearly passed out.

After he left, I was airborne for a long time, and after I came to my senses it was the sixth period. I finished the letter as quickly as possible and asked the teacher to go to the bathroom, after being released I ran to his locker and put the letter, I was so nervous that I didn't even notice that his sister was watching me.

- What are you doing in my onii-chan's closet? - Júlia asks approaching me, I quickly closed his closet and put myself in front of it, obstructing her vision.

- Ju... Julia-san! Did you recognize me?! You are so beautiful and have "grown up" so much. - I replied trying to change the subject, she just approached with a scary look of anger.

- Don't try to change the subject. You won't be able to deceive me, why did you come back? - she asked trying to get me to answer the question.

- He knows! I'll tell you why I came back here, the truth is...

"End of Class Alarm Ring".

- I'm sorry! But I'll have to go back to my room to get my things. - I replied to her trying to get away from her, I took a few steps back and ran to my room.

"Saved by the bell!" I thought while breathingrelievedly, but, why did she have to disturb me right now?! I was so close to getting out of there and she came and I almost told her everything, I just didn't get a chance to get away from her questions. I really hope my beloved reads the letter and comes after me soon.
