"Aha, go on.""I wouldn't have gotten between my parents." I wouldn't have sat in the back row on the first day of school, where no one could talk to me. I wouldn't have turned Gabriel down when he asked me to the Spring Ball just because I was embarrassed to think he wanted to kiss me. The truth is that I wanted that kiss, I was just afraid of the rest. So if after kissing me he wanted something... I would have stopped him. I would not have endured until the end out of obligation. Not with him, nor with any of those who followed.He turned on his heel, looking at each of the corners of the court. He approached Marc, stopping before the first row of bleachers. There he sat.“I would have played basketball, or football, and gone to a nude beach, and strutted around like cheerleaders in my little boardshort. Maybe I would have found someone who loved me. Really... you know? That he loved me and showed it, not just said it. Everyone says they adore me, but th

“It's my job to make people think I'm going to take a step, and then change direction. How do you think this rhythm of victories is maintained? For infused science?Hugo gave him a confused look. He was losing what little chin he had, and the medication he was taking for pimples was taking effect. Marc had recommended the treatment as soon as he saw that she also had pimples on her back, knowing that this meant a serious skin problem.“Is it that you don't separate your working life from your sentimental life? Correction: sexual. You obviously don't have feelings.Wow , what a stick to come across two very different points of view on your person in the same morning.Marc thought about the answer, although it sounded like he had answered that question before. Did he separate her? Did he need it? In his view, he had only one life: the one he lived between those four walls. The rest were just distractions, mostly soporific, although in r

Yuri was calmly sticking stickers on her planner while pretending not to hear the voices between Caleb and Delfino. His best friend was harmless, and no matter how provocative his deputy was, he wasn't going to get the punch he'd been looking for for months. Of course: that morning he was trying very hard to take his "playing ball", of which he was an elite athlete, to a new level. Yuri didn't even know why they had started arguing that time, she just hoped the dispute would end with Delfino leaving the firm, as she had threatened so many times, and Caleb taking a vacation.She smiled to herself and shook her head, still amused by the stickers. Caleb taking a vacation? What would be next? Frozen hell, no more, no less.“I'm not even going to answer that,” Caleb was saying. You have portrayed yourself mixing the personal with the professional, but I can think of a few adjectives that define you as a lawyer. You are useless and conceited. Being your father's

"Have you finished arranging your things?" I have seen that you do not have photos or anything like that. You can put whatever you want, as long as it doesn't bother. It is your corner, the minimum is to adapt it until it feels like a second home.“Yes, I know, I have... I brought an air freshener and a couple of pens. Also a photo of my parents, but I thought better of it,” he said easily. I've heard a homophobic comment from someone and I don't want any trouble.Yuri raised her eyebrows.“He would have problems, don't you think?"Of course, that's what I mean." If he said something like that in front of me, I don't think I'd be able to stop myself in time, and I've wanted to work here for a long time. I admire Mr. Moore. I wouldn't like him to kick me out after a fight... I wouldn't like him to kick me out, just plain, but less for that."Who made the comment?"“I don't know, I haven't seen him, but he was arguing w

"You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for an hour and a half.Yuri didn't move, leaving her hand with the keys suspended in the air.“What do you do here at this time?“Well, look, I was studying and... I didn't like that about the political constitution of the United Mexican States. Besides that mom was in a bad mood, and nothing more than sighing, and I didn't feel well there, so... In case you don't mind that we study tonight, and you help me with the doubts.Yuri wanted to scream.Apparently she hadn't seen Marc, but she consoled herself with the thought that even if she had, it still wouldn't have made any difference. His sister didn't know anything. He could tell her to go home and let her fuck, using those exact words, and she would find a way to turn them around to interpret it in the most convoluted way in the world. Such was life. Some believed that she was going to marry Marc for sending him a stupid WhatsApp, an
