Episode 13

~Almost 1 month later~

Luan

I woke up feeling super lazy, and to make matters worse, I have practice early today. We're training hard because the state championship is just around the corner. But waking up super early on a Friday really gets me down.

Rafa is still with Marcos, and Paula is seeing a really nice guy; it seems like my dad has lost this time. We talked a bit, and he's really trying to change, but we're not in touch much, and I'm respecting his space and time, just like he's respecting mine.

I got ready, had my coffee, and went down to go to school, but to my surprise, the elevator stopped on the 3rd floor, and Rafa got in.

Luan: Hey, what are you doing up at this hour?

Rafa: I'm going to school.

Luan: I see, but... class isn't until later.

Rafa: I know, Luan, but I want to see Marcos; I need to talk to him, today is our 1-month anniversary.

Luan: Wow, congratulations (I said sarcastically).

Rafa: You could at least pretend to be excited. (She said as we left the building and headed for school).

I rolled my eyes, and she glared at me.

Rafa: Actually, I need to talk to you.

Luan: You need to?

Rafa: Not really, but maybe it'll help.

Luan: Go ahead, then.

Rafa: It's about Marcos and me.

Luan: What a shocker... What happened?

Rafa: So, in this month of dating, he's slept over at my house about 3 times, and...

Luan: Oh no, stop right there... I know we usually talk about s*x openly, but you and him, no way.

Rafa: The idiot, nothing's happened.

Luan: How so?

Rafa: He slept over at my place about 3 times, and I even made some moves, but nothing happened.

Luan: Damn, I don't know what to tell you.

Rafa: I'm frustrated, I've never gone so long without hooking up with someone. Do you think he's a virgin?

Luan: I seriously doubt it, but you never know.

She just gave me a really sad look as we walked into school. We went to the court, and there was the jerk. The two of them went to talk while I went to the locker room to change. When I got back to the court, he was there, and Rafa wasn't. I don't know what he said to her to make her disappear so quickly, but she's old enough to take care of herself, and I can't be late for practice; I'll talk to her later.

After practice, which was pretty intense, by the way, I went to take a shower and then went looking for Rafa, and even though it took a while, I found her.

Luan: Hey, so how did your talk go?

Rafa: He said we'll talk later because he's really focused on the state championship. It seems the principal is thinking about reversing your and Marcos's punishment and letting you guys play the championship from the first game.

Luan: What? How does he know that? I'm going to talk to the coach right now.

Rafa: Calm down, but first, you're going to Larissa's party tomorrow, right?

Luan: Oh yeah, I had completely forgotten, but yeah, I'm going.

Rafa: Okay, come over to my place at 8 p.m.

Luan: Yes, ma'am, now let me run and find the coach.

I took off like a hurricane because class was about to start, and I wanted to find the coach before that. And after running around a lot, I found him.

Luan: Coach.

Coach: Ah, Luan, tell me, what do you need? Why aren't you in your classroom yet?

Luan: The bell hasn't rung yet, that's why I wanted to talk to you before. I heard that they're considering lifting my and Marcos's punishment, and we'll be able to play the first games of the championship. Is that true?

Coach: Who told you that?

Luan: That doesn't matter, just tell me if it's true or not.

Coach: It's true, Luan, we ARE THINKING about it, but I haven't gotten full approval from the principal yet, but if you and Marcos continue to at least get along minimally, he might come around, so no fighting, understand?

Luan: Yes, sir.

Coach: Now, off to class with you.

Luan: I'm going... and thank you, coach.

He just nodded, and I went to my classroom. I was overjoyed, but what made me wonder was how that moron managed to find that out. But anyway, the important thing is that it's true, I can hardly believe it.

I arrived at the classroom, and the teacher hadn't entered yet, even though the bell had already rung. So I went in and sat in the row by the wall, which is my favorite because I can lean back, and soon the teacher arrived, and class, though boring, flew by. Before I knew it, it was break time, so I left the classroom and ended up running into Rafa and Marcos. Ugh, I rolled my eyes just seeing those two hugging, honestly. And I tried to walk by unnoticed, but of course, Rafa saw me and made me spend the entire break with her. We had the last two periods together, so I'd have to put up with a lot of clinginess today, ugh. But the good thing was that I found out how that idi*t managed to find out about our punishment being lifted; he overheard the principal and coach talking as he was walking down the hall near them.

We went back to class and had a group work assignment, to be done in class, so the three of us did it, and even though that boy is as dumb as a brick, Rafa managed to teach him something. And as soon as we turned it in, we were dismissed, even before the bell rang, so we went to the courtyard to wait for the gates to open, and once they did, I had to wait for the lovebirds to say goodbye, and only then could Rafa and I head home.

Once home, Rafa went to her apartment, and I went up to mine and went straight to bed to sleep; I was exhausted.

I woke up late, so I went to eat whatever I could find in the fridge, since Paula wasn't around. She left a note saying she had gone out with the guy she's seeing. Anyway, I ended up eating a sandwich in front of the TV, watching a show. And before I knew it, it was already half past midnight, so I decided I was going to bed when Paula walked through the door.

Luan: What time do you call this, young lady?

I died laughing at how startled she was when I spoke.

Paula: Oh, boy, I thought you were asleep.

Luan: Hahaha, I was just heading to bed.

Paula: Great, then go ahead, because I'm going too; I'm dead tired.

She kissed me on the forehead and went to her room. And I turned off the lights, locked everything up, and went to my room. I ended up scrolling through my phone for a while longer before falling asleep.
