I finished the work and handed it in, then left the room, looking for Rafa. She was with Arthur, as always. He has a thing for her, and I already told her that, but she made it clear that it's just friendship and she has no attraction to him whatsoever.
As soon as I arrived, she gave me a big smile and hugged me. That's when I heard a voice coming from behind me, very close to my ear.
Marcos: So that's what you meant by "I'm with someone else"?
I got even closer to him and spoke just for him to hear.
Luan: You really are stupid if you still haven't figured out what I meant, and no dear, it wasn't that.
I took Rafa's hand and walked down the hall, on my way to my third-period class, with Arthur right behind us. Her class was in front of mine, so we walked together to the door of the classroom, but before I entered she stopped to ask me a question.
Rafa: What were you two whispering about?
Luan: Nothing important, actually nothing that comes out of that mouth is important.
Rafa looked at Arthur with a confused expression, which he returned.
And I pretended I didn't see and kept going until I entered my classroom, and thank God I wouldn't have that class with Marcos, thank heavens, I couldn't stand that boy anymore.
Marcos
"You really are stupid if you still haven't figured out what I meant."
Ugh, what did that idiot mean? Is he really gay? I can't have done work with a gay guy, what would they think of me? I hope he isn't, because tomorrow there's practice before class, and I'm not interested in being too close to a gay guy. I'm also not interested in getting kicked off the team because of him.

Class was finally over, today was a drag, but at least I only had to put up with that pain in the neck for the first two periods, after that I didn't see his face anymore. I'm thinking about getting closer to that little friend of his, maybe through her I can finally find out what that boy keeps trying to tell me. I kind of like the idea.
Not that it changes anything in my life, far from it, but I'm a curious person, and that boy stresses me out so much, and when he makes me curious, I get even angrier.

I arrived home 10 minutes late because the bus was delayed, and my dad already freaked out. Actually, I imagined he would, he yells at me for everything, if I arrive early, if I arrive late, that is, when he's not drinking and then freaks out for real. My parents separated 2 years ago because my dad used to hit my mother, and after that separation, my dad became even more unbearable, and the worst part is that he throws it in my face that I'm already 19 years old and shouldn't be under the same roof as him anymore, or I should be working to pay the bills. My mother left home with nothing but the clothes on her back. She only took my younger brother with her, because she said she wouldn't be able to support all of us, so my dad, my older brother, and I stayed living together, and my brother is good for nothing just like my dad.
Anyway, I went to my room and left him yelling in the living room, and I made sure to lock the bedroom door so he wouldn't come and torment me at night. I ended up going to sleep without dinner, which was also common, because many times I would go out to eat and I would have to hear that I don't help with anything in this house, and that I want to eat but I don't want to earn money to buy the food. Anyway, that's why the soccer team is important to me, if I get a scholarship I can get away from my dad. I ended up falling asleep even with my dad's yelling in the living room.

The next morning I woke up early because I had practice before class, and I left quietly without my dad realizing I was already awake, but before I left, I went to the kitchen and had a glass of milk so I wouldn't leave on an empty stomach. My dad was snoring on the couch, as always.

When I got to school I went straight to the field and no one had arrived yet, no one except Mr. Stevens, that idiot. But luckily for me he didn't say anything, everyone arrived and we trained in total harmony and he didn't bother me for a minute, I don't know what kind of miracle that was.
When practice was over we all went to the locker room to shower.
I took off my clothes and went straight to the shower, it was strange for me to have to shower with a bunch of men, all naked, of course, everyone showers naked, but it was strange for me to be surrounded by men like that, but anyway, I would have to get used to it. I forgot the damn soap, it's a good thing some idiot left a bottle here, I'll use that.

Honestly, that boy stressed me out just by existing, but ok, I'm not going to stress about him today, we played well and then I went to the locker room to take a shower, and I saw that the idiot was taking a shower in the shower where I left all my stuff, seriously, he's still using my liquid soap that I use for showering. Ok, screw it, I'm not going to stress about it, I have a bar of soap in my locker. I went there, got it, and took my shower trying to keep my peace of mind, then went to class.
When I got to class, I was the only one there, no one else had arrived yet, so I stayed there in the corner thinking about what the hell is going on with me. I'm absurdly stressed, I'm not like this, I need to relax, and as much as Rafa was a jerk for suggesting it was lack of sex, I think I am missing it, it's been a year and a half since I've been with anyone, things are complicated for me, but I haven't made the slightest effort to at least chase after it, so that complicates things too, men don't fall from the sky.
Soon other students started arriving and I ended up getting out of my thoughts, because I had to pay attention in class, after all, the teacher was about to arrive.
Unfortunately for me, I had class with him today, but anyway, I wasn't going to let it get to me, after all, I'm trying to keep calm and stop being so stressed.
Soon I saw the idiot entering the room, he sat on the other side of the room, so I simply ignored him, and luckily for me he didn't come after me and didn't say anything the whole class.
At break time I went to the courtyard and was left alone with my thoughts. I ended up getting so lost in my thoughts that I lost track of time, ugh.
I left there and ran to class, and the teacher wouldn't let me in. She was a teacher I hated. I was a good student in all subjects, even the ones I didn't like, but the only subject I did poorly in was hers, ugh, literature, I hated it, but I didn't hate the subject as much as I hated her.
I stood outside in the courtyard with nothing to do, so I ended up going to a quieter corner of the courtyard, where hardly anyone went, so the inspector would have a hard time seeing me out of class and I wouldn't have to go to the principal's office. And to my total surprise, no more than 5 minutes after sitting in the corner of the courtyard, who appears in front of me but Marcos. I can't believe it, and you know what's worse, he's with Rafa, my best friend. What the hell is my best friend doing with this idiot? And on top of that, during class time.
