At break time, Elisa eats with Filipa and Anderson. The two friends were talking about random college stuff, while Anderson seemed lost, staring at some point on the table where they were sitting, he was fed up with everything. He wanted to tell Elisa everything at once, that he loves her and wants her since the first day he saw her, but at the same time, he was angry at her for never noticing anything.
Filipa - Girl, have you noticed that someone is quieter than usual today?
Elisa - True, Anderson, what happened?
The friend was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear them.
Elisa - Anderson? (she nudges his arm)
Anderson - Did you talk to me?
Filipa - What's wrong with you today, you silly? You're all quiet over there...
Anderson - Just thinking about life itself, lately it's all crap!
Elisa - What's going on, want to vent?
Anderson - It's just that I like a girl, but she doesn't even look at me!
Elisa - Have you opened up to her? Maybe she doesn't even know you like her!
Filipa - She must know your reputation as a womanizer, maybe that's why!
Anderson - Don't talk crap, Filipa. You only know how to say stupid things, actually I don't even know why we're still friends.
Filipa - That's simple to solve, forget I exist, you idiot!
Anderson - That's the best thing you've said all day!
Elisa - Guys, let's stop this, we've been friends forever, are you going to end a years-long friendship over nonsense? Seriously, you guys are acting like children!
Filipa - I'm also fed up with this useless one, Lisa, this friendship was already worn out a long time ago!
Anderson - I fully agree!
Elisa - So that's it? And what about me?
Anderson - I'll always be here for you!
Filipa - You will always have my friendship, Lisa, but only you!
They both get up from the table and each goes their separate ways. Elisa shakes her head in disapproval and is left understanding absolutely nothing.
- What now?
…
After the break Elisa returns to the classroom, the morning goes by quickly, she was dying to go home and confront Christian, at the end of the day she doesn't see any of her friends, but when she was approaching the car, Anderson pulls her, Aisha watches everything.
Elisa - Anderson, what was that?
Anderson - Lisa, I need to tell you something, I can't keep this to myself anymore!
Elisa - You're acting strange, what's happening to you?
He holds her hands and looks at her.
Anderson - Remember what I said earlier about liking a girl?
Elisa nods
Anderson - You can't even imagine who she is, can you?
Elisa - How would I know?
He caresses her face, and she begins to connect the dots.
Anderson - It's you, Elisa, you're that girl!
Elisa - Anderson... this is crazy, we're good friends!
Anderson - We can be more than that, Elisa. The truth is, I've always been in love with you, princess, I'm crazy about you in every way!
Elisa - I'm sorry, but that feeling isn't mutual, I only see you as a good friend, nothing more...
Anderson - Shh... (He puts a finger to her lips, stopping her from continuing)
He slowly approaches and touches Elisa's lips in an invasive kiss, but she struggles and manages to push him away.
Elisa - Are you crazy?
Anderson - I'm in love with you, Lisa, I always have been, from the very first moment, I've never been able to say it, but it's too big of a feeling, one that I can't keep to myself any longer.
Elisa - No, no... we are friends... friends, Anderson. At no point did I give you freedom or reciprocate this, do you have any idea what you just did?
Anderson - I'm sorry, it was stronger than me, you don't know the torture it is for me to see you every day and not be able to touch you... (he tries to approach her again, but she pushes him away)
Elisa - No... don't come near me, ever again. You made the worst mistake of your life, you just destroyed our friendship!
She leaves his side and runs to the car, gets in and asks Aisha to get out of there as fast as possible.
(...)
On the way Aisha sees her trying to clean her mouth with her shirt, soon after she leans her head against the car window and closes her eyes, letting a few tears escape.
When they get home, Elisa, as always, goes up to her room and doesn't want to go down for lunch.
Soledad - Honey, do you want me to bring you something up here?
Elisa - No, Sol, you don't need to, I'm not hungry!
Soledad - Alright, but if you want anything just call me.
Elisa - Thanks, Sol... When Christian gets home, can you let me know?
Soledad - Of course dear, I'll let you know!
(…)
In the club's office, Christian spends the whole morning resolving matters for one of his companies, answering emails, and after lunch he was going to visit one of the nightclubs that was under renovation, but after a message from Aisha, he is extremely disturbed.
Christian - Drugs, drugs!
He gets furious, throws everything to the floor and curses.
Christian - Shit, Elisa! Why did you do that, damn it!
He sits back in his chair and runs his hands through his hair, pushing it back impatiently.
Knocking on the door...
- Who is it?
Rodrigo - It's me, can I come in?
Christian - Come in!
The friend enters and scratches his head as he sees several things thrown on the floor, including the computer in pieces.
Rodrigo - Wow, did a hurricane pass through here?
Christian - I want to kill someone today!
Rodrigo - Crazy there, Chris? What happened, man?
Christian - Give me one reason, just one, why I shouldn't go right now and kick that boy's ass!
Rodrigo - First explain to me what's going on, man. Does it have to do with Elisa?
Christian - She's mine, Rodrigo, mine. And I don't tolerate betrayal, I'm going to finish both of them!
He gets up, takes his gun from his waist and tries to leave, but is stopped by his friend who grabs him.
Rodrigo - Have you gone mad, man, are you going to do something stupid with the woman you love? Sit down and explain to me what really happened?
Christian puts the gun back in his waistband and sits down, takes a deep breath and tells him in detail what he had just found out.
Rodrigo - Man, want some advice?
Chris - What I want is for you to find out who that kid is, that's what I want! I'm going to end his kind.
Rodrigo - I can find out without a problem, but don't do anything stupid, it will only drive the girl away from you! Wasn't it you who said that she forgave you yesterday? It's a start, my friend, talk to her, I'm sure it's all a big misunderstanding, Aisha must not have seen what happened properly!
Christian - And what if it isn't? Huh? What if she likes this kid? I'll kill him!
Rodrigo - You're not a murderer!
Christian - Oh no? (smiles) I've already killed thousands in cold blood!
Rodrigo - That was on the battlefields, and it was out of necessity, it was them or us, it's different now. You're a good man, don't let jealousy dominate you. Elisa is just a girl, she doesn't know anything about life yet, I've already told you and I'll repeat it... Before being her husband, you need to be her friend!
Christian - Just find out who the son of a b***h is!
