Chapter 1

Emma Mark.

We are in the classroom, impatient because the social studies teacher is handing out the group work assigned and I, as always, did it with my best friend Eva, we are a great team.

"Misses Mark and Olivo...." The teacher called us and we both stopped to look for the corrected work "Congratulations you have the best grade of the group with a 10".

Eva squealed like a little girl and did a strange dance and even jumped up and down with excitement, I laughed at her madness, I approached the teacher to receive our evaluation work and saw a "10" in red ink, I nodded and smiled happily and he smiled back at me and then I returned to my seat smiling.

"We have to celebrate our 10. What do you say we go to our favorite place? I'm buying" said Eva smiling and cheerful.

"Of course! I can't refuse the offer" I said and we both smiled excitedly as if we were 13 year old girls, we were so happy for our achievement "¡All if we go for donuts!"

Eva and I have known each other since third grade and since then we are inseparable. Of the two, she is the most extroverted, has a strong character and is crazy, I on the other hand am shy, reserved and passive, all that I inherited from my mother, you could say that it is convenient in situations like not losing control easily but it is a disadvantage because it is very difficult for me to say no. I finish the class and we wait for everyone to come out.

The class ended and we waited for everyone to leave and then we went out, when we were alone in the classroom I picked up my things and put them in my backpack as fast as possible while she told me about a turquoise and lilac sequined dress that she had seen at the mall yesterday afternoon when she went with her mom, I laughed at her comments that the dress seemed to be made for me because it matched my gray eyes to which I snorted, it was stupid that idea, today and always, colors are not my thing.

"You know well that nothing stands out on me, I'm made of gray colors but you would look great with your red hair Eva and those crazy curls and tousled you have" She looked at me with a gesture of fake annoyance raising an eyebrow with her arms crossed and I laughed at that. "I'm serious Eva" I looked at her with a raised eyebrow and a confident face.

"I'm going to ignore the negative and stupid comment you made about yourself" she smiled at me and I smiled back.

I finished picking up my stuff and we left the classroom, while we walked to the exit Eva was saying goodbye to her friends and classmates that were still in the school, we finally left the school and took our way.

On our way to our destination we were making jokes and talking nonsense like fashion, the guys that Eva liked because I haven't liked anyone yet, we continued our way while we were dying of laughter, very immature of us to be 17.

We arrived at le beignet doré, a very nice donut store, we sat in the usual place near the window to watch the people passing by and criticize a little but healthy, a very Eva's pastime to which I adapted myself, Seconds later Liam appears a friend who works in the shop to ask for our orders, his eyes light up when he sees us and he comes to us with a cheerful and laughing countenance.

"¿Hi girls, same old, same old, right?" We nod, since every time we come here we order the same thing, a strawberry milkshake and some chocolate caramel donuts.

"I'll be right back with your orders, girls." He left for the order, but not before giving us a kind smile.

"He's in love with you, why don't you give him a chance?" Eva said suddenly after a few minutes of silence.

"You know well that I don't like him, besides he has never told me anything about it" I said in a low tone since he was coming with our orders.

"Okay, that's fine" she said rolling her eyes with an obvious tone of annoyance in her voice.

"Well girls here are your orders" I was placing our order on the table "I hope you enjoy your donuts very much I for one have to go back to work, sadly, thanks for coming leave a tip".

"Goodbye Eva and of course goodbye beautiful Emma" He smiled at me in a seductive way making his black eyes pierce my mind.

"Emma is beautiful of course, but what about me Liam?" Liam laughed a little without taking his eyes off me.

Eva pouted at him, he laughed and walked away from us because a client was calling him.

While we were eating my phone rang, it was a message from my mother telling me to get home quickly because she was going out and I had to take care of my little demons... Sorry, little brothers.

"It's my mother, I have to go" Eva pouted, sighed and then nodded with a sad expression.

"Okay, let's go" she said with a sad tone.

She had already finished her food and I had the milkshake intact, I'll take it on the way. We grabbed our stuff and were about to leave, but I didn't raise my head and rushed to leave, I bumped into a body and spilled the milkshake on it.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry!" I said with great shame.

"Stupid girl, look what you did!" I apologized again as I raised my face and looked at his, my God he is a beautiful man, his brown eyes connected with mine, his features showed an evident anger and a shiver ran through my body, he looked at me from head to toe.

"Why don't you watch where you're walking?" He spat, stepping forward threateningly.

"Hey! She said she was sorry and you should watch where you're walking too, you idiot!" Eva grabbed my hug and pulled me out of the store in a hurry while she laughed and I was stunned by the intense gaze of that man.
