Episode 4

I change my clothes while Karla talks to her parents, I text the taxi driver from just a few days ago, he arrives and we get in together.

"They took my car away as punishment."

"It was wrong, good thing no one was hurt."

"I know, don't scold me, she says hugging me and kissing me on the cheek."

We arrive at her house, and as soon as we enter, her parents come out to greet us.

"Mia, honey, come in, her mother says hugging me."

I hug her back, sit down, and observe the house. My friend's family comes from a wealthy family due to inheritance from their ancestors.

"Karla tells me that you got into the same university. My husband would go talk to the director to pay your annual fee."

"Thank you very much, ma'am, but it won't be necessary. My scholarship covers more than 75%."

"We know, and we're really very proud of you. You know that if you ever need anything, you can tell us."

"I know, and thank you very much."

"How are things going with Mario? Will you move in together at the university?"

"No, we broke up."

"I'm so sorry. You must have had your reasons, and it shows that we women can do without needing a man by our side. Go out and have some fun; it will help."

"Speaking of that, Mia wants to tell you something, my friend says, pushing me to speak."

"My boss invited me to his daughter's birthday today, and I wanted to go with Karla."

"Actually, we're all going. We were invited, she says, and Karla sits down, looking at her angry mother."

Karla forgot that her parents are friends with my boss. In fact, with their help and one of my teachers, I got that job.

"You said you weren't going."

"Because I didn't think we'd be back in time."

My cell phone rings, and I block Mario from calls and texts.

Karla's mother notices and comes over, sitting down next to me.

"You're a very beautiful and intelligent girl. I know you must be breaking inside, but you know, keep going; you're doing great."

"After her boss's daughter's party, I wanted to go out with Karla to have some fun, I say, and she hugs me."

"Of course, just let them know when you arrive and when you return."

"Thank you, I say, and Karla gives me a happy thumbs up."

"Mom, can you tell my nanny to bring us some food? She says."

She grabs my hand, and we go up to her room, and I go straight to her bookshelf.

"I've already told you to take them; they serve as decoration here; they'll be better in your hands."

I take out the encyclopedia and unfold the page where I left off. You can't find the information in these encyclopedias on Google so easily, and I like that it's unique.

Karla is on her cell phone, and I'm reading when they bring us the food. I go downstairs to leave the dirty dishes while my friend goes to the bathroom.

I wash them, and the nanny smiles at me.

It's getting late, and I need to pick up the gift. I say goodbye to my friend and her mom, but as I expected, my friend comes with me in the car that her mother gives her with a driver. We arrive at the plaza, and I buy two ice creams. We eat them while we take a walk.

I go into a store when I see a very pretty bracelet and buy it. I ask them to wrap it. I leave with my friend, who has many bags of her purchases. She can barely walk, and it makes me laugh because of how she walks since she's doing it on purpose. We're about to leave, but out of nowhere, she stops, and I already know why. Mario enters with his group of friends, and she drops her bags, walking towards him and slapping him.

"I warned you, you bastard. You're not a real man. I hope your dick falls off, she shouts, and his friends laugh. I pick up the bags, walk towards her, and take her arm so we can leave."

"Idiot, you're a coward, she keeps shouting at him, and the driver opens the door for us to get in. Mario tries to reach us, but I close the door, and the car moves forward."

"You know he deserved it, I exhale and inhale, bad vibes don't affect me, she says, closing her eyes and moving her hands in a way that makes me laugh."

"You laughed, you can't scold me anymore."

We arrive at my room, and we get ready. We go out to my boss's house. When I arrive, there are many people from his same circle. My friend's mother calls us and introduces us to the people they're talking to.

My boss sees me and calls me over. I give the gift to his daughter, and she opens it, putting it on.

"It's beautiful, thank you, she says to me."

"I'm glad you liked it, I say, and she hugs me, going off with her friends."

"She didn't just like it, she loved it. It's the only gift she put on, her mother says, greeting me."

"Hello, I'd like to introduce Mia. She works in the office but is studying architecture. She's a young woman with many ambitions, my boss says, introducing me."

I chat with one or two people, listen to how they talk, and when I have questions, I let them know. They clarify my doubts and give me advice.

"I'm sorry, but my sister and I are leaving, Karla says."

"Be good, I'll see you tomorrow, my boss says to me."

My friend's parents give us the usual instructions, and I leave with my friend.

"I've already told you to come live at my house."

"Thank you, but I'm fine this way, I say."

"No, I haven't brought up the topic again, but it was because you promised me that we'd share rooms at the university."

"Yes, I know, I say, stopping a taxi, and it takes us to the club that she indicates is the safest in the area and the best; not just anyone can get in."

We enter when she shows her card to the security guard. The music is blasting.

"Remember, covered drinks, don't accept anything from strangers, and if you order at the bar, watch how they prepare it, and don't leave my side, I say, and she hugs me, nodding. We go up to the dance floor."

She jumps, shaking her hair, and I dance next to her.

"Let's get drinks, I say in her ear, and we go to the bar together."

My friend listens to what I tell her, which is why her parents let her go out with me. I text her mother that we've arrived and put my cell phone in my purse.

We pay for the bottle and take it to our table.

"Why are there so many men dressed in black? Did something happen? I think we should leave, I say."

"There must be an important person in this club, or maybe the owner. They're just his bodyguards. Calm down; this is the safest place. My father pays thousands for a monthly membership. Even he knows it's the best, she says, pouring the drinks. She hands me my glass, and I take a little, but she drinks hers quickly."

"Hey, slow down, I say, and she smiles, pouring another one."

"May Mario's dick fall off, she says, raising her glass."

I raise mine, and she says to me,

"That imbecile, I turn around, and it's Mario with a woman by his side, and the worst part is when they kiss."
