Revolution

CHAPTER 5

Flavio

Two years ago my family emigrated to this city from Georgia, they will already think because, the gangs, the drugs, the hostile environment that was lived, my parents did not want that lifestyle for their children, although in Bellavista it is not so quiet that we say , the area in my opinion is better than the seedy neighborhood where I lived much of my existence.

At first it was very difficult for me to talk to people, I did not feel so confident even to look at their faces, when I made that simple gesture I was paralyzed, stuttered and left quickly.

They were difficult moments and that added the cruelty of the "Populares", for a whole month they made my life impossible, the insults, the jokes did not help me and I had low self-esteem.

When I first saw that girl, Ciara, I thought she was like the others, but when she appeared before me at lunch with Leícy, I felt a positive vibe and that is not found in anyone.

Now I'm on my way home, I have been for a while when I feel that Rodrigo is catching up with me.

- Hey Bro, I've been calling you from a block. What are you thinking?.

- In nothing.

- Don't give me that Flavio, I know something happens to you - he says pointing at me with his index finger.

—Rodrigo, I'm fine.

- Ok, you will feel comfortable to talk, but remember that I am your friend and I will be there to listen to you - he says smiling at me.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome Bro, see you.

When I arrived here Rodrigo Mena was and is my best friend, I think we had that connection since he told me what happened to him, it was so strong that he told me with tears.

" We were in a park, I had invited him to an ice cream to celebrate that we passed the course and there he told me.

- Flavio I need to tell you something, you are my only friend and the one I trust to tell you this, I can't take it anymore - he said on the verge of tears.

- Rodri, you're scaring me.

- It is something I must express or else it will eat away at me for the rest of my life.

- What is it? Tell me.

- In the accident where I lost my leg, my little sister and I were going to a family reunion and our parents were ahead of us so we would go later, I don't know how, I don't know when, on the way a truck crossed And I couldn't stop the car and we crashed, my sister died and I already know, that's why when they bring up the subject of my sister, I get angry but not with the others but with myself. I should have died, not her !!! Not her."

And that was the first time I saw Rodrigo Mena cry and collapse, swallowing only his pain and expressing it to lessen his grief.

When I get home, I see that there is no one, it is deserted, I go up to my room, throw the backpack on my bed and undress to take a well-deserved bath.

The water falling from your head to your feet is so relaxing, it's like being in paradise.

I dress in a light jean and a Dodgers T-shirt, go downstairs and go to the favorite place in each house: the kitchen. I make myself a sandwich and go to study.

Hours have passed when I close the last notebook and I see that it is seven in the afternoon, I can already hear voices downstairs when I get to the living room.

We sit at the table for dinner and Dad starts the conversation.

- How was it today darling? - He asks, turning to Mom.

I  do not know love as pure as that of Sebastián and Elena Rosalvo.

- It was excellent, there is a new doctor, her name is Sara, she shared her lunch with me and we talked throughout the break.

- And you, Flavio?

- There is a new student, her name is Ciara, she is cute.

- Aah, interesting - answers my father very interested. He's always told me that I should go out with my friends and meet people more, but I haven't done it yet.

- Today I got 10 on the math test dad !!! - exclaims my little brother Carlos.

-  Congratulations champion ! - says my dad high five with him.

- I'm very happy son - says my mother giving him a hug.

- Well done dwarf - I say ruffling his hair.

After dinner I go to my room, after a while I feel a stomach ache but I'll leave it sure it will go away.

The pain did not go away.

I go to my mother who always has a medicine for everything, I take it and within minutes I feel the healing effects. I go back to my room, get ready for sleep, crawl into bed, and let sleep win the battle.
