Brothers Before Girls

...

She was very kind and considerate, she cared for me, she said sorry and she also gave me a shoulder to lean on if she needed it. As I said, she was very kind and cute.

Although I notice her a little sad despite the fact that she always has a smile, she would not have noticed it before, why now if she notices it?

We talked for a while and had fun. She told me about how she draws in the fountain that is in the town park almost every night or when she is sad. She indirectly invited me to go today, I told her I'll think about it, I don't know if I'll have time.

"See you Fabri. Remember to go if you can"

Eve said goodbye to me with a nice smile, although for me, what I saw was something sad.

When I look around, I realize that everyone has already left the class, I am alone.

"That 's it…"

I approached the giant map to the map of Jurup, stuck on the wall, where France was located with a marker, but someone changed the real map for a poorly done drawing and with insulting names to the countries.

"It seems that Miss Missette didn't notice her, she should make her remember to change the map when she sees her"

He didn't know if she had a spare, but he should at least tell her since no one did.

…

I ran into Erik in the hallway, he was waiting for me so they could go home together and ask me how my day was.

I clearly told him about how bad it was for my friend. He cared for me and offered to help even though I declined, I didn't need his help, at least now.

But I had to let him go home just because he was going to work for Diane. He amused me the way Erik wanted to make money sitting at his computer playing games. There are jobs like that, but you have to be popular or nobody will pay to see you play and maintain that lifestyle.

Before he left I asked him if he knew where I could buy the spare part for my computer. Erik told me about the new section in the supermarket where everything is sold, including computer parts, and even new computers.

"Fabri!"

When I say goodbye to Eric, the familiar and pleasant voice of a girl is heard behind me. She turned her head back and smiled.

"Hello Mia, I thought she had already gone home"

It's nice to see mia, she was clearly expecting me.

"Hello Fabri, do you want to go home together?"

Mia was direct with what she wanted, or so she would have thought if she hadn't seen the worried look on her face, it wasn't shyness, something was bothering her.

"Sure, let's go"

She couldn't turn her down like I did with Eric. He's my friend but now Mia seems to be in some kind of trouble.

"Okay, let 's go!"

She speaks with enthusiasm and a smile, but only a few meters later she fades away and she looks depressed.

…

"Well, we're here now"

We arrived in front of Mia's house, but on the way we didn't talk at all, she was silent and distracted. Now that we're here I reminded her, that seems to have woken her up.

"Wait Fabri, don't go. I forgot to ask you this morning if you wanted to study with me for final exams? At my house. There are some topics I don't quite understand and I was wondering if you wanted to help me. But first you need to finish your homework." he he"

Mia seemed to have suddenly become cheerful and even joked around with me. That reminded me again that I have to finish my homework, but I have everything on my computer and I'm going to need to fix it faster. Since I don't have money, I have to work more.

"Sure, I'll finish my homework quickly and help you right then"

Of course I want to study in the room of a cute girl like Mia.

"Great! But I have to ask my parents if they allow me to take you to my room. They are very strict in that aspect, but since they have known you since you were little, I think they will allow it"

Mia says goodbye to me and goes into her house. I still feel that she has a problem, but she still doesn't want to reveal it. Maybe when we study in her room I can gain her trust and she will deal with me.

She turned back to leave, but I saw a flash of something bright.

"Is seriously…"

Looking up from the house next door, Erik was watching me. He was leaning against the window glass in his house and he looked angry, his greasy body sticks on the glass. I sighed because my friend must be mad for rejecting him only to find out later that he dumped him for a girl.

"It's not what you think friend"

I don't think Eric understands this, but I decided to talk to him at school tomorrow to apologize.
