Josias goes up to his room and closes the door tightly. The indignation he felt for what he had just witnessed was immense. He leaves the balcony door open, as usual, and undresses to sleep with a frown. The image of that girl crying, trembling with fear and despair will be marked in his mind, perhaps for days.
If he didn't interfere, that girl would be raped! Jeremiah was very smart; he was not drunk as she was. He must have done it on purpose: he gave her too much to drink while he still maintained certain sobriety to be in control of the situation. Yes, he could claim that he was also drunk, but the girl was so much more!
Already lying on the bed and under the sheet, Josias started to meditate on other things, otherwise, he would not be able to sleep such was his revolt. He started to think about the meeting he will have tomorrow with Melissa. When he thinks of Melissa, he smiles and falls asleep.
The next day, he wakes up, once again being guided by the rays

But, isn't it too early for parties?” Uélton asks.“Get out, boy.” Josias responds smilingly, “I'm going downtown with Melissa. We have a date.”“Are you going to have your first kiss in Central Square? There is a fountain that can give a very romantic mood.”Josias laughs and pats Uélton on the shoulder. “Who knows, but it's not in my plans. Not today.

Now the crying has dismantled all the makeup.“And can I know why?

Seeing the boy entering like that, all furious, he decides to risk asking, “What happened, Josias?”Josias stops walking and turns to him, exploding, “Everything got wrong, Seu Teodoro!”At this moment Jeremiah was going down the stairs, but he did not finish going down. Listening to Josias's angry voice, he remains standing on the steps and listens to the conversation with a mocking smile.From where they are, Josias and Teodoro do not see him, Jeremiah managed to hide.“How tough, young man!

“Does the idiot want me to still fix his door?” Josias exclaims indignantly, “May he go to hell!”“Josias, try to be reasonable!” Teodoro frowns, not liking the boy's language, “You overreacted; you could have knocked on the door. Or rather, you could have called me.”“I don't know where your room is.”“How can you not?” Teodoro claps his hands on his thighs, “My room is the first on the first floor! Is the easiest to find!”“I'm sorry, Seu Teodoro, at the time I didn't think—”“You were so upset about Jeremiah that you rushed over. If it were another tenant, you wouldn't kick the door.”Josias is forced to confess. “Yes, you are right.”“So take advantage and try to make up with him.

Building My Life Chapter 44 Invitation to Lunch
Josias was repairing the door to Jeremiah's room with visible annoyance. The hinges were with some loose screws, so he was fastening again with a screwdriver.“Look at him,” Jeremiah says mockingly, when he and Wallace enter the hall, “I should call the police to report a violation of the home.”“It says ‘home invasion’,” Josias responds, turning the screwdriver too hard as if he were turning the screwdriver over Jeremiah's head.Wallace notices the boy that he is not muscular enough to break down a door. How did he do it?“Boy, did you manage to break down that door with that skinny leg?” Wallace asks without being offensive.“My legs are strong. Muscle does not always correspond to strength and endurance.” Josias says proudly.The job is done and Josias straightens up, facing the two men.

Building My Life Chapter 45 Making Amends
Uélton and Josias do not gaze at each other. Since Josias entered his home, he has greeted his parents, but not his best friend. Uélton remained in the room until his mother asked him to eat. Now the two are at the table, vis-a-vis, but without the courage to exchange half a word. Josias understands that Uélton invented a story so as not to accuse him of aggression. Deep down, he was grateful. “Too bad, Uélton, I didn't know,” Josias says not to leave the atmosphere boring. The best friend needs to say something. “You, who are new to the favela, keep an eye out, my boy.” Mr. Freire advises, “Unfortunately, honest and hardworking people are at fault.” “It seems that the more time goes by, the worse people get.” Mrs. Freire regrets as she elegantly cuts a chicken drumstick. Josias resists the temptation to grab the piece of chicken with his hand, but it seems impossible since he took the wing. All the meat around the bones is being waste
