Episode 7

I woke up the next day with the alarm clock, I didn't really feel like getting up, but what can you do, it had to be done. I went to do my morning hygiene, thinking that now I'll have to put up with Marcos in all the classes, ugh, nobody deserves that, I just want to go back to bed.

But what can you do, it has to be done, so I got ready and went to the kitchen to have breakfast, and Paula was there, she works from home, so generally, breakfast, lunch and dinner are always served on time and we rarely need to buy ready-made food, besides, she's a great cook. I went up to her and kissed her cheek.

Luan: Good morning, Paulinha.

Paula: Honey, I haven't been called Paulinha in years. And you woke up cheerful today.

Luan: You wish, my dear, I woke up with a vengeance, but I ended up settling down, there's nothing I can do.

Paula: Problems with the hot boy?

And hot he is.

Luan: Oh, he's not all that, I've seen much hotter guys at that school, but his problem is not even his looks, it's his cockiness.

Paula: You're cocky too.

Luan: I am, but I don't bully people at school.

Paula: He did that?

Luan: He did, but I stood up for the boy, that's why he hates me, he even said he was going to beat me up, but he didn't do anything.

Paula: Well, not exactly nothing, because you came home all bruised, you didn't want to tell me anything so I wouldn't get involved, and also because your head was spinning, but you looked like a truck had hit you.

Luan: Right, but that was much later, and I threw the first punch, although he deserved it since he knocked me down, anyway, that boy stresses me out.

Paula: Be careful, honey, love and hate go hand in hand, and it's easier to switch from one to the other than you think.

Luan: No way, I'm gay, he's straight, he thinks he's all that on top of that, and he also seems super prejudiced.

Paula: I hope you two work things out, honey.

Now I need to work. Kiss, kiss. (She said as she left the kitchen and went to the room where she works, although when she gets tired she comes to the living room, anyway, working from home must be the best).

I would work in pajama pants and just put on a shirt to say I got dressed, plus you can stay on the couch and wear slippers, and you can also stay under the covers, since this city is quite cold, it's wonderful.

Anyway, I finished my coffee and went to school, and as always I went down to wait for the damsel Rafaela, but by some divine miracle she was ready and as soon as the elevator opened on her floor she entered it ready to go.

Luan: Wow, miracles do happen.

Rafa: Oh idiot, let's go.

I put my arm around her shoulder and we left for school, and when we got there Arthur came to talk to us if we had seen a picture.

And when he showed me, I was outraged, but not angry, I think bullying is ridiculous, but I'm not the type to be intimidated, even when it's directed at me. It was a montage of me with a female body in a bikini, and it was sent to the whole school. And of course I knew exactly who did it, and I saw him laughing in the corner near the door of our first class.

Luan: Wow, I love the picture, but next time ask me to pose, I'd love to take a picture like that just for you. (I said running my hand down his chin).

Marcos: Yeah, get out of here, you faggot.

He said pushing me and started to get physically aggressive with me, and I went right back at him. He was a good fighter, I admit it, but I wasn't going to take it lying down.

That's when the principal arrived.

Principal: HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

The two of you again, seriously? Haven't we talked already? Was the punishment not enough?

Luan: Uh, yes principal, but look what he did.

I said grabbing the cell phone from Arthur's hand and showing the photo to the principal.

Principal: Oh no... This is unacceptable Mr. Leon, to my office now.

Marcos got up and went to the principal's office.

Principal: You too, Luan.

Luan: Ugh.

Principal: The rest of you, to your classes, immediately.

I followed him to his office with the principal right behind me.

Principal: Come in and sit down. (As soon as we did, he continued talking). Mr. Leon, you know that bullying is not tolerated at this school, right?

Marcos: Yes, Mr. Darson, however, I wasn't the one who made this montage.

Luan: Of course it was him....

I can't believe you've got the nerve to lie.

Principal: Silence, Luan... Proceed, Marcos.

Marcos: That's it, I wasn't the one who did it, period.

Principal: Mr. Stevens, do you have any evidence against Mr. Leon?

Luan: No, but I know it was him, he was laughing when I arrived.

Marcos: With all due respect, Mr. Darson, I was laughing as were more than half the school. That doesn't prove that I was the one who did this.

Principal: Okay, I'm going to do this. I'm going to find out who really did this, and the culprit will pay for their actions. As for you two, the previous punishment stands and we're going to forget about what happened today... Unless, of course, I find out it was really you, Mr. Leon.

However, I would like to warn you, Mr. Stevens, that you do not accuse anyone without proof.

Luan: Okay, Mr. Darson, I apologize for my mistake.

He nodded and we left the room, I went to class without even looking at that lying jerk.

Marcos

I arrived at school and a friend of mine came to show me a montage he made, and I found it funny, but while I was laughing Luan came up to me already accusing me, and that son of a bitch embarrassed me by saying he would pose in a bikini for me.

I ended up finding out after all, the idiot is really gay, I can’t believe it. I would ask Mr. Darson so I wouldn't have to do any work with a gay guy, but I'm sure it would backfire on me, and I can't risk my dad being called here.

I went to class and already in the first class, for which the teacher was already in the room, we had a partner work, what luck.

The teacher was explaining the work when I entered the room. So I sat down next to that fake Luan and tried to understand. And at the end of the explanation Luan turned to me.

Luan: So, my place or yours? (He asked in a totally bored voice).

Marcos: Huh?

Luan: The work, idiot, at my place or yours?

Marcos: Yours, my dad hates visitors.

Luan: Okay, as soon as class is over you come with me, okay?

Marcos: Okay.

Ugh, what a drag, to top it off I'm going to have to get to know this imbecile's house and spend a few hours on this blessed work with him, what the hell.

As soon as the bell rang, I took the opportunity to message my father that I would be home late. Not that it would solve anything, but at least he wouldn't kill me completely when I got home.

Luan

After a few minutes the bell rang, and Mr. Darson came in before everyone left the room.

Principal: Everyone, a moment of your attention please... I found out who made that "joke" (he made quotes with his hand) in bad taste with our colleague Luan, this morning.

I looked straight at him, to see his face fall when the principal announced it was him.

Principal: Patrick, come with me to the office, please.

Luan: What?

In the end, I was the one whose face fell, I can’t believe it.

Principal: Patrick is responsible, and he didn't even bother to send the photo from a different or private number to the other students. You can rest assured, Mr. Stevens, that the school will take appropriate action and everyone will be informed after school. You can go to your classes now.

I was shocked, it really wasn't him, what the hell, what now? There was no way I was going to apologize to that jerk.

Rafa: Good thing it wasn't you. (She said to Marcos as soon as she ran into the room and hugged him, snapping me out of my thoughts).

I left the room without saying anything, I just wanted to run away from that situation.

I could feel his ego inflated from afar, happy to have proved himself right and me wrong.
