Chapter 4 – Unexpected invitation...

When the applause ends, I continue what I was saying:

- I am happy to be so well received by you and I believe that we can start the presentations by the ingenious Lord who planned this tribute to me. I look at the funny student, winking at him, and smile amusedly.

He then points to his chest as if asking “Me?”, I affirm nodding my head and he starts to speak:

- Dear teacher, I'm sorry to disappoint you, however, I wasn't the one who prepared all this tribute for you. At this point I look at him quizzically, and as I look around the room I realize that it's not just me who's finding this information a bit weird.

Then he clears his throat and pointing to J.P. says:

- My friend JP did it all by himself, so I think it's fair that he be the first to introduce himself. I shift my gaze to J.P. and he sits up, covering a mischievous grin with his hand. I hear him whispering to his colleague in front:

- I want to see now how J.P. will get away with this... lol

J.P. stands up somewhat blushing, wipes his hands on his pants still looking at his feet, when he slowly lifts his head his eyes meet mine and I freeze. I don't know what's happening to me, but it's as if his simple gaze penetrated my soul and left me *****, helpless, with no way out. I've never seen him before, and I've never had this in my entire life. I'm incredulous at how a brat can cause such a sensation in me, shaking my head so these thoughts leave me and I lose eye contact with him, which has lasted long enough to become embarrassing.

- My name is João Pedro, but you can call me J.P. I apologize, teacher, for my friend Digão's joke... He is interrupted by his friend:

- That's it man! The teacher liked the song you chose especially for her, to say on behalf of everyone how much we need her this year. He looks at me and winks smiling, how he can be so charismatic I don't know, but I can see that everyone is loving this whole scene. J.P. shakes his head and sits down again, as if he can't beat his friend, he feels surrendered. I interrupt the game and ask everyone to introduce themselves, at the end it's Digão's turn to give the air of grace again:

- Teacher, with all due respect you could introduce yourself to the class too, after all we want to meet this year's Miss Teacher! I walk to the center of the room and rest one leg on the table, then start:

- My name is Angel, and unfortunately I don't have a nickname, so you can call me teacher anyway. I'm starting this year at this school, and I've just moved here, so I ask you all to take care of me. I smile ending my presentation and Bruna the prettiest girl in the room gets up saying:

-Excuse me Madam, but I think we would all like to know why you chose to be an art teacher, as you sit down I realize that she is talking through her teeth, if she chose to. Before I can answer it, Digão intervenes to my rescue:

- You can guard Senhora Bruna, this beautiful teacher is not old enough, with all due respect, teacher.

- Thank you Digão, I respond by making a small bow with my head, and I reply:

- I just love this question, I smile and continue, I chose to be an art teacher so I could come teach in pajamas and no one would call me crazy, the students laugh, so do I and I conclude, seriously, you'll see me teaching in pajamas yet .

After laughs and a lot of fun we are all familiar with each other, Digão then comes closer to my table and invites me:

- Teacher, let's make a welcome party for all students and teachers, let's start the school year celebrating, so that this year can be wonderful for all of us, we would like to count on your presence. I'm tempted, but I answer:

- I don't know, did you prepare this party for all the real students and teachers?

- Yes, teacher. He answers me with a look of a dog who has fallen from the gear, which makes me smile. And you said, can I call you you? After I nod in the affirmative he continues. As you said that you just moved here, it will be interesting to meet new people and it will be great to bond with.

- Okay. I answer, but then I ask. Where will the party take place?

- At Bruna's house, I'll send you the location so that it's easier to find, all third-year students and teachers are being invited and you can bring company, if you want, the party will be this Friday, it will be super fun . I confirm it with a smile and a nod and at that exact moment the end of class bell rings, we say our goodbyes and we all go home.

I feel very happy for the students' invitation, it's really going to be great to socialize with more people, and I really needed a little party for myself distract, the week flies by and when I least notice it's Friday.

When I return home from school I mentally analyze what I still have to do, in the afternoon I take a nice shower as it's very hot, I check my cell phone and realize that Digão actually sent me the location of the party and said it will start at 7pm . I look at the clock and see that I still have a little over an hour. I go to my clothes to choose what I should wear, as it's very hot the options are somewhat limited and as it's a party with students and teachers I shouldn't wear something that draws too much attention to my body.

I choose a knee-length dress that's well-waisted and flowing, it looks great on me and even makes me look a little younger. I think this is the perfect choice.

I put on music and before getting dressed I sit in front of the mirror to apply some makeup, I don't like to wear a lot, but as I have long eyelashes by nature I take care of the mascara. I also fix my hair and when I realize it's almost time for the party to start. I change my clothes and go to the indicated place.

When I arrive at the party venue, I realize that Bruna's house is really very beautiful and spacious, the perfect place to hold a party. All third-year students are there, many around the pool, others near the barbecue. The party takes place in the garden of the house, but I notice that people enter and leave the residence very naturally, as if everyone had been to parties here many times.

It turns out that there is something that is making me very uncomfortable.
