It all started unplanned. I had already seen pictures of her on I*******m stories and yes, she caught my eye, but I didn't have information about her or where she studied, I only knew her name.
I only knew her name. On the first day of second period classes, I was talking to my friends and a classmate said to me:
—Samuel, there goes Eva, your future girlfriend.
I turned around and saw her, but not very well, she was entering the school and I was outside.
I had to study in the morning and she had to study in the afternoon. I decided to go back into the school to see her.
I never believed in love at first sight. But everything was different and unique. She was walking and I was behind her. At one point she stopped walking, turned around, saw me and said, "Are you chasing me?
—Are you chasing me?
For the first time, I saw her from the front. I could tell she was the prettiest girl in the whole school.
She had an enviable smile, her hair was long and dark brown. Just like her eyes and her skin was light.
She said that and I was speechless. My mind was processing how she turned around. The sun was hitting his eyes and they looked honey colored, He had a frown, small freckles on her nose, her lips were cute, her eyebrows unique, as were her eyelashes. As I watched her, she waited for a response and I could only say:
—No, I'm not following you
Eva smiled, watched me and walked away. I spent a few days thinking about what happened.
That girl was driving me crazy and now I wanted to see her as long as possible.
Day after day I saw her and stayed at school in the afternoon even though it wasn't my turn to be there at that time. But I just wanted to see her. And I saw her hair move, her gestures, the color of her eyes, perfect when she smiled.
The way she walked, everything about her was incomparable. I wanted
that girl for me.
I was in love, that was very obvious. I started talking to Fatima, a colleague who knew Eva. She told me:
—She seems to be a little interested in you, but you must understand that she is beautiful and there are many behind. You have a reputation as a womanizer and the most probable and safe thing is that they say these things to her and she loses her attraction to you.
In the same way I am going to talk to Eva and tell her that she has to take some time to get to know you and that she needs to know you and that you are also interested in getting to know her.
That same day Fatima gave me Eva's phone number and I wrote to her.
I admit that at first I thought she was not going to answer me, most likely she had already been told that I had a bad reputation and that it would be better if she did not try anything with me, but within half an hour he wrote back:
—Hello
She didn't know who he was because he didn't have my number.
—Hello, it's Samuel
And after that message she didn't answer me anymore, the truth was making me desperate, I wanted to talk to her, to get to know her.
I wanted to talk to her, to meet her. Something was different, I decided to approach her the next day if I saw her at school.
The day came when we were going to have a conversation, I was waiting for her to come. After almost half an hour she came in and sat down with her friends.
She saw that I was walking in her direction, got up and walked to the bathroom. I understood what she meant by her action. She knew I was going to talk to her and I didn't want to. So I decided to follow her, I grabbed her by the arm and turned her towards me, at first she looked surprised and confused, then she said.
—Let go of me
—Who do you think you are to grab me like that?
New obsession unlocked, to see her upset. After watching her for a few minutes with her annoyed face I said:
—I just wanted to talk to you, but for some reason you always ignore me and pretend I don't exist. I would like to know why.
Now she was watching me with those little dark brown eyes and then she said:
—I ignore you because I don't want to talk to you. I don't want to have any kind of conversation with you and you should stay away from me and stop looking for me.
I didn't think of anything, I just said what came out of my heart.
—I'm not going to stop looking for you and I'm not going to stay away from you, I want to know you and know more about you, you are different and I know what i talk about. Let me show you that things are not like that.
Once again I could see her face of astonishment and confusion and after a long time, which in my opinion was centuries, she said:
—I want to know more about you. I consider that I can give you a chance to get to know me, but you must know that I'm not easy, I'm cold, I don't give my affection to just anyone, so tell me what do you plan to do to get me interested in you? plan to do to make me interested in dedicating some of my time to you?
I didn't expect him to say that, I thought he was going to ignore me and leave, but on the contrary, he told me he would give me a chance to get to know her and warned me about her.
—I don't have anything in mind to make you interested in giving me a "little" of your time, I know that you feel that something in me is calling you, but you don't want to look easy.
I said all that trying to make her realize that I have been analyzing her:
—You may be a little bit right about certain things you manifested, I do feel some attraction to you, but I must hide it. I already know enough about you and I might say I know more than I'd like to. You don't have a good reputation in relation to women.
The next day I saw her sitting at some tables in the parking lot of the school, she was alone.I arrived and told her:—Do you need my support?—No, I don't need your help, thanks anyway.—Why do you have to be so difficult?—I just told you I don't need your help, you should worry more about doing your school activities.—I do my homework, I saw you sitting here making the poster board and wanted to see if I could help. That's all, you don't have to get all defensive with me.—I'm not being defensive, I want to finish my homework without any distractions.Just then a friend of hers "Camila" arrives and says.—Eva hurry up, in 15 minutes we have to present and we need the poster, I'll be in the room waiting for you.That was my moment, I still had to highlight the letters and finish coloring some drawings, so I told her:—Eva, hurry up. I think you do need help because in 15 minutes you are not going to be able to do the poster by yourself or are you?She looked at me with a "I hate y
The next day I went to school, handed in my homework and waited for Eva to show up.After half an hour she arrived with a friend, walked past me and completely ignored me. I didn't understand what was going on if yesterday she was super nice to me, her attitude today was very different from yesterday. I needed to know what had happened, so I went to where she was sitting with her friend. When I got there I said to her.—Can I talk to her?She didn't even turn to look at me, she was ignoring me and I didn't understand what was going on until her friend said.—No, neither Eva nor I want to talk to you, so if you would be so kind as to leave, we were having a conversation when you arrived.—I want to know why you don't want to talk to me.—I'm not going to tell you anything, go away you lier.—Eva, what is the reason why your friend doesn't want to talk to me and you don't want to talk to me either, I deserve an explanation, don't you think?—No, I don't think you're worthy of any explan
After the three days had passed, it was my turn to go to school.I really didn't want to see the faces of any of my classmates. I didn't even want to see Eva.I was angry, she didn't take the time to talk to me and inquire about the pictures, that was her way of settling it.I arrived at school, I saw my classmates, they were all asking me about what happened, why did i do that?Among other things, I really wanted to go home, I wasn't going to wait for Eva, I just wanted to go home. I would just leave and that was it.Finally I was able to leave the classroom heading to the exit of the school when I met Pedro and he said to me:—I'm going to go home, I'm not going to wait for Eva. Can we talk?—What the fuck do you want with me?—Calm down, first of all I need to apologize and secondly I need to explain everything, she is not the one to blame, I am the one.—I have to go home, it will be another day.—Well, on the way to your house I'll tell you about what happened.—Since you insist,
The long awaited day arrived, everything ready and prepared for Eva's surprise. I was getting dressed to go to school when I received a message from Ana, Eva's best friend, who said:—Samuel, We came to the joint conclusion that we will do the surprise in the school parking lot to make it public that she is going to be your future girlfriend.—Thank you for letting me know, Ana.—You're welcome, don't forget to bring allthing, otherwise I'll kill you.—okkk.I arrived at school around seven in the morning and the first person I saw was Ana.She was studying in the morning, just like me, she helped me to get all the stuff out of the car. My my mom had accompanied me and the car we went in belonged to a neighbor who did us the favor of giving us a ride.We had a lot of things and it was impossible to walk with all that.The plan was to have everything ready inside in the parking lot of the school and that Ana would be outside waiting for Eva with any excuse and she would send me a messa
I left my house and headed for Pedro's house. He wasn't supposed to be interfering in my relationship with Eva anymore and instead he paid my ex to say that the photos were real.As I was walking along I ran into a friend who lived nearby.—Where are you going?—I'm going to look for Pedro.—How come? He said.—I don't know if you heard that Eva and I were trying to have a thing and he intervened, apologized after we had a fight and now he's coming out with apologies after we had a fight and now he comes out with that he paid Angela to ruin all—I didn't know that, but are you sure?—The person who said it is trustworthy.—I don't think it was Pedro who was to blame for everything. It could have been your ex and she only said that so you wouldn't hate her.—Why are you defending Pedro so much?—I'm just telling you not to act without knowing who is to blame.I didn't want to keep arguing with him, so I kept walking. Two blocks away was Pedro with some boys. I stopped because I realize
I was dancing like crazy when suddenly I was tapped on my shoulder and it was her laughing at me.—Why so much happiness?—Eva gave me the yes!—Wow son, congratulations. I wish you all the best. I'm sorry I told you yesterday that you were forbidden to see her. For it to last you have to respect each other and not listen to what people say and do.In these times no one wants to see others happy son. A relationshipis built on trust more than anything else. I want you to bring her to the house.—Yes, I know all that, the truth. I'm going to tell her to come to the house.—Okay.—I'm going to take a bath to do an assignment I have for tomorrow.In the meantime I'll make lunch.- Come onI went to take a bath happier than ever. I ate, did my homework. I went to the court to play basketball and I run into Pedro. I didn't want any more trouble, my desire to hit him was gone.After having an hour, I got tired and headed home, the next day I had to go to school.I had been walking for about
PART OF THE BOOK FROM SAMUEL'S POINT OF VIEW-Eva, don't go," I said.-Wasn't it that your mom wanted to meet me? -She said.-I seemed good for you, supposedly, it was all a lie Samuel. She doesn't want us together and it's best that we leave it up to here. And that you stay away from me, she said what a chimba.-Wait Eva, we need to talk," I answered.At that moment my mother came out and saw her in a very bad way. Then she said:-"Girl, I told you to leave and never come near my son again, is that clear?-I'm leaving, ma'am, don't worry, I will never come to your house or say a word to your son. Have a nice day, see you later," said Eva with tears in her eyes.I felt my heart break as she left. She was supposed to call her mom to pick her up and she didn't call her, she was just walking as if her heart had been cut out. It started to rain and the street to get out of my housing development was long. From the door I could see her farther and farther away and I felt less and less like
My mother was unrecognizable. It was very obvious to me that she hated Mrs. Elena. And what made my skin crawl and made me overthink everything was the fact that Elena was dead and my mother didn't show even a little bit of feeling. She didn't care, I could see it in her face. Then she said to me:-Everything you and Eva went through, it was because of that woman. Don't mention her again, I don't want to talk about her," he replied. He answered that and left the room. I didn't recognize her, she was starting to scare me. An hour later there was a knock on the door of the room. It was some friends and roommates who had come to visit me. They brought me flowers, gifts and my favorite chocolates. They hugged me and then told me they had to go home.In came my doctor, who for some reason I didn't like. He gave me an IV. He gave me water and some pills and then left. Before he left I asked him:- When am I going to be discharged? When are they going to take off the cast?- In about a mont
