078

Adam walked through the corridors of the school trying to find weird footprints, then he remembered that today was going to be his 100-page celebration, so his steps were quickening, until he ended up running through the corridors: What the hell, the red-haired hero I had been reading this book for 7 whole years! Today, he would celebrate in a big way!

He ran with all the excitement in the world, with a smile from ear to ear on his face through the school corridors, while the other people in the school looked at him as if he had lost his mind. Adam saw the door draw closer, but he didn't slow down, but sped up as if he were looking to break down the door. He kicked the door open and came in yelling:

—Sorry, teacher, I'm late! But I made it!!

—...— Franco and Bianca were on top of each other, kissing in a corner of the room and ignoring Adam as if the boy didn't exist.

—And Achilles?—Adam asked with a blush on his face, seeking answers from these two young lovers.

Franco only made a sign with his hand indicating that he should leave. Adam noticed that the two did not stop kissing, it was then that the boy noticed that two objects flickered in the room, Adam paid attention to him and noticed that it was Bianca and Franco's underwear thrown under a desk. His freckled face turned even redder with embarrassment, and he closed the classroom door again.

The red-haired hero didn't leave, he stared at the closed wooden door for a few minutes, thinking what to do right now and how to bury himself. His head was in the clouds because he had figured out in the most absurd way possible how his goggles clue finder worked.

*Haaaa*...*Haaa*... When strange noises began to be heard from behind the wooden door. Adam's face turned as red as his hair and he took steps back, slowly, trying not to hear his footsteps.

With all the shame in the world he went to the director's office, to see where Achilles could be and thus organize the celebration of 100 pages of him. His mind was still somewhat lost, he did not understand very well how he was taking his steps, but his body acted automatically until he reached Cesar's office.

*knock*...*knock*

Cesar opened the door on the other side. Adam looked at him with a lot of embarrassment for the above, but luckily his glasses hid part of his face. Cesar noticed that the boy just stared at him and asked with a smile:

—What happened now, Adam?

—Er…—Adam said in a daze—I… I got to 100 pages.

—Oh! How wonderful! —answered Cesar with an even bigger smile—Come, boy, come in, the corridors are not a place for a chat.
