I woke up because of the rays of the sun that filtered through my window, stretching lazily, I got up from my bed, I went to bathe and brush my teeth, at the end I put on: a pastel pink dress with black that reached me until knees, long transparent white stockings that reached a little more than my knees, some white shoes with flowers, dark sunglasses and a hat that was adorned with pink flowers Once dressed I go to the I go out to have breakfast, when I arrive I greet Joaquín with a kiss on the cheek as every day and he does the same, once we finish breakfast my brother spoke:
-"nervous? "-He asked looking at me with a little concern and I replied
- "Not at all!" - I looked at him excitedly- "I'm bursting with excitement!" - I said it giving little jumps, he looked at me with tenderness and while he took my hand he said:
- "Well little kitten, I will take you to your new school, we will walk since it is only 5 blocks away" - I just nodded, as we left the house, this will undoubtedly be a new and exciting experience
It took us at least 7 minutes to get to my new and first institute, when I saw it I was amazed, the structure is majestic, huge with 4 floors with a large black gate, from what I can see it has soccer fields, tennis courts and I think , for swimming, it was also decorated with beautiful different trees, some were oak, elm, fir and many more too There were small, large or medium bushes and also many flowers of different colors
- "Will you stay there all day? Or will you go in? " -The question from him took me out of my thoughts, grabbing me to blush a little for realizing that I was standing in the middle of the fence, my brother laughed and took my hand back while he shook his head in amusement.
- "Sometimes I don't know why you are amazed by such trivial things as a high school and then I remember that until just one year you were a pretty kitten with a strong and pure desire" - she said it whispering so that I am the only one who listen.
- "And it's all thanks to you" - I replied with a tender smile, he just smiled back as we continued walking and with doubt I asked him - "Where are we going?"
- "Let's go to the address, so they can tell you what your classroom will be and give you your schedules" - he answered while we stopped at a door and whispering again he said - "remember any problem you have, you can talk to me" - I just agreed with the head and with that already resolved Joaquín left but not before giving me a kiss on the head, I opened the door revealing the director's office, it was not very big, but not very small, it has a wooden desk in front of the door and to the left of his desk was a shelf with books and a small garbage can and on the right of his desk was an antique hand-carved wooden clock, in the chair behind the desk a man sat He was about 60 years old with gray hair along with an equally gray beard, he wore glasses along with a black suit, with a white shirt and a gray tie, just seeing his bearing made you feel his authority but those colored eyes avell Ana who has, exuded kindness along with experience, she certainly seemed the type of person who is kind to everyone but if you get involved with him you can end up very badly.
- "Welcome to the Cuore Rosso Frusta institute (red heart whip), you must be Elizabeth D`Angelo, I am glad to meet you, miss, your brother told us a lot about you" - spoke the director, his voice is thick but kind, with what he said I could only nod my head feeling a bit nervous, while the director spoke again - "I introduce myself, miss, my name is Celio Giordiano and from these two years that he will be in my school I will be your director, by the way here She has her schedules and don't worry about her classroom, in a few minutes the teacher in charge of taking her will come "- I finish saying with a soft smile, which made my nervousness calm down.
- "do..don't be late, right?" - I asked, locking myself at the beginning, with a worried smile since so far I have not set the time
- "Don't worry, Miss D`Angelo, I'll be here a few minutes earlier" - he replied in a calm voice as he pointed to the clock on the wall where it was 7:25 AM, I could only sigh in tranquility since at 7:30 I had to To be present and in a whisper I was grateful for continuing to have the habit of getting up early, after 5 minutes came what I assumed would be my teacher, who looked no older than 31 years, long black hair, tanned skin, but not much eyes Light brown color next to some glasses, she wore tight blue jean pants but not so tight, low black heels, wine-colored blouse, with a kind and understanding look, with a soft smile she spoke to me:
- "You must be Elizabeth" -I affirm, rather than asking- "oh dear, come follow me I will guide you to your classroom, I am Stephanie Rodríguez and I will be your psychology teacher" - she said with a kind voice as we stopped in Classroom A Returning to speak again, she said - "when I call you, come in and introduce yourself, your new colleagues will ask you some questions, but you are not obliged to answer if you don't want to, do you understand honey?" - in his words you could see that he was A little worried I just gave her a soft smile while nodding my head in affirmation, she only gave me one last look before entering the room, I could hear how she said to my new colleagues: "pay attention, we have a new partner I hope they are kind to her, they can ask her some questions, but if she doesn't want to answer, they don't force her, is that clear? " His tone of voice indicated that he would not accept a reply and while I listened as I received a collective "yes", he called me to come in, with a bit of shyness between and stood next to the teacher while I took off my sunglasses next to My hat, I gave a soft smile to everyone around me as I closed my eyes a little. The teacher spoke:
- "Well dear, introduce yourself and if you want you can tell us your likes and dislikes" -she told me she and I just nodded while she cleared my throat I spoke:
- "ni..nice to meet you, my name is Elizabeth D'Angelo" -I said, but I stumbled at first and a blush appeared on my cheeks from embarrassment - "I like vanilla ice cream, walking in the parks, being with my brother, I don't like loud sounds, dogs scare me and I'm allergic to nuts "- I finished speaking while Professor Rodríguez gave the floor to one of my classmates who had raised his hand to ask, has the hair of Short black color, robust body, light green eyes, wears a white shirt with the first two buttons loose, black pants torn at the knees, blue sports shoes and has a peculiar scar on the wrist as if it were I would have burned, for some reason I felt like I had seen this boy before.
- "Why is your hair white?" - He asked with a crooked smile and eyes that denoted curiosity
- "Well, my hair is white because I was born that way, my brother says I was born with the same hair color as mom" -I answered with a finger on my chin trying to hide my nervousness for having to have lied, although it was not all a lie since Joaquín a He once told me that his mother had beautiful white hair.
This time it was a girl who raised her hand, tanned complexion, light brown eyes, long wavy hair of artificial medium blonde color, her lips painted a strong red along with a pastel pink blush, she wears a short aqua green blouse, leaving the uncovered her navel, a black skirt that reached a little above her knees, and gray sandals with pink.
- "Why are you afraid of dogs?" - She put an expression that said clearly: "You seem ridiculous to be afraid of a simple dog", with an embarrassed smile I replied:
- "Well, one bit me on the leg a ye..year ago" -I internally scold myself for getting stuck in my words, while my cheeks burned from the shame of having caught me, this same girl gave me a mocking smile, which was reprimanded by a stern look from Professor Rodríguez.
Another boy raised his hand, this one has light brown hair, eyes of a curious amber color, a red shirt along with a black sweatshirt, dark blue jeans, he has a black and white converse
- "Rumor has it that you studied abroad" - I think for a second before continuing - "but my question is, what made you want to come to study here?
- "Well, my brother lives here and the truth is that I missed Sicily, that's why I decided to finish my studies here" - I replied while I felt guilty again for having to lie, before someone else raised his hand, Professor Rodríguez I speak
- "Well kids, you have already asked a lot of questions and I have to start with the class" - some began to complain, but with a severe look from Mrs. Rodríguez he silenced them so they could continue talking- "Well darling, go and sit next to of "- he thought for a moment and then he said-" Leonardo "-he ended with a sweet smile that I returned and asked
- "Who is Leonardo?" The same boy with the peculiar scar raised his hand and I sat next to him with a grateful smile.
From that moment on, the class followed a normal course, I paid my full attention to what the teacher was explaining with great interest since, having been a cat for most of my life, I am very curious about what the students have to do. say. Human beings, absurd or not, I could see how some of my new classmates weren't paying attention or were just pretending to pay attention, even if it passed the first two hours of school, when the bell that announced recess everyone left except me . I was feeling a bit lonely and bored, so I took a separate notebook that I had and began to draw the things that occurred to me.
In this case I am drawing a boy who is hugging his knees while he is trapped in a vine of thorns, his face is hidden between his legs, the more he drew the less attention he paid around me, the only thing that made me stop what he was doing was the abruptly with which they took away my precious sketchbook, astonished I looked up seeing how the same girl who asked about my fear of dogs had my notebook in her hands with a mocking and malicious smile, behind her two other girls were , one wore very tight jean pants along with a long-sleeved shirt that exposed her navel the other girl is dressed in short jean pants that reach her thighs and a blouse that blatantly reveals her chest both girls they have a wicked smile impregnated on their painted lips
The one with my precious notebook spoke:
- "heh, hello my name is Deborah and they are both Mellea" -I point to the one with long pants- "and she is Marena" -this time I point to the one with very short pants, and then continue- "once the presentations I want you to clarify one thing Elizabeth "- she looked at me with pride and said -" here I am the one in charge, if you think that because you are the new girl you are not at all because you are very wrong, this is just a warning in case you Do you want to pass list with me "-he looked at me with amusement and evil as he handed my notebook to his friends-" girls already know what to do "- he finished speaking and to my horror one of his friends lit a lighter and set my beloved notebook on fire , altered and with a heavy heart shouted:
- "NO!!" - a few tears came out of my eyes as I snatched my notebook from them trying to save it, but much to my regret there were only ashes of what was once a notebook, I fell to my knees while more tears slid down my cheeks, I was holding tightly the ashes of what was the first gift that Joaquín gave me, I could hear how Deborah and her friends were laughing from the classroom, my tears did not stop coming out, a lump in my throat formed and I did not stop think about what I would say to Joaquín when he asked about my notebook.
