I was breathing hard and holding the goatee, I was trembling and sweating from fear, I
know it may seem like an exaggeration, but there was something about that guy that I
didn't like, that made my insides churn and made a lump in my throat. He was out there; I
could feel it but I tried to calm down and convince myself that I was being a fucking
scaredy-cat and that the guy was probably just weird as hell but nothing else.

-How is Robin? ---I heard Gwen behind me.

-You almost scared me to death, asshole.

-Its not my fault you are such a chicken... I ́m sorry.
-It's okay.

"How's Robin?"--- she asked me for the second time.
-He's fine, everything is solved now.

-I'm glad .-- We headed to the living room-- Robin is super cool, he always wins, I'm sure
he would kick "The Grabber's" ass.

I looked at her with a funny and mischievous face.

-It seems that some brat has a crush on Robin.

-The one who has a crush on Robin is you idiot--- I looked at her with my mouth open in
disbelief--- I don't blame you, he's handsome and always saves you from trouble and shit.

-I already told you not to say that, Gwendolyn.

-I was in the bathrooms with you two idiot, your romantic tension could be cut off with a
fucking knife. Whatever, I'm going to bed.

-Wait. Have you dream lately, something important?.

-Only nonsense things, why do you ask?

-Curiosity.

She smiled at me .--- Okay--- She gave me a little kiss on the cheek--- you know I love you
dickface.

-I love you too, Gwen

The next day after leaving Gwen in her classroom, I was leaving some books in my locker
and suddenly Robin appeared.

-What the fuck are you doing here, moron, you're still hurt as hell!

-If I miss more classes I fail. But the teachers are more flexible with me fortunately.

-Robin, I have something to tell you.

-What's wrong love?

-Don't call me that in public.

-Why not honey?

I rolled my eyes.

-I'm joking. -- he said winking at me-- Now tell me what's going on.

-It's just that, there is a man who is taking away my sleep lately. I think maybe it could be
"The Grabber".
Robin put on a serious face.

-What are you talking about?

-Go to classes. I'll explain to you in the output.

When we left class Robin asked me to go to his house, I think I didn't hide my nerves well
because he looked worried, his mother wasn't home and we had the afternoon since
there was no homework to do. We arrived at his house and went to his room.

"Now tell me what's going on," --he told me, putting his hand on my shoulder.

-When I stayed to sleep at your house, I went to close the curtain of your room and I saw a
man standing outside with black balloons in his hand, and the next morning I ran into a
guy with his face painted white and a black van that was scary, and yesterday when you
and your mom went to drop me off at my house the same van was across the street.
Robin looked at me attentively and without saying anything.

-I don't feel safe, I'm not as strong as you and if someone were to kidnap me...

-Hey, calm down Finn- Robin told me and put his hand on my cheek- I told you, you are
stronger than you think, you may not know how to hit but no matter how many times you
fall you always get up. That's why I love you, you're my best friend... You're more than
that. And I would never let anything happen to you Finn, never.

I hugged him, he knows how to make me feel better, Robin gave me a big kiss on the
cheek, then moved to the corner of my lips and then to my lips. There was no doubt now,
after so many months of getting to know Robin, of winning him over, of winning his
friendship, his trust, I could say without fear of being wrong. That I was totally and
completely in love with him. We kept kissing for a long time, it was a passionate and
tender kiss. Until I started to feel a warmth in my stomach, a little lower. I got scared and
separated.

-What's wrong?

-Nothing

"What do you want to do Finn? --- He smiled at me. I'm not lying when I say it's the most
attractive smile I've ever seen.

-I actually have to go home.

-No, stay with me. Mom isn't coming back from her work until tomorrow morning. --he
grabbed my arm but when I started trying to free myself I didn't realize I was on the edge
of the bed and I fell, taking Robin with me.

Robin was all over me and neither of us knew
what to say.

-Get off me --- I said pushing him but someway I ended on top of him this time. When I
look at his face, he had a cheeky smile on it.

-What are you laughing at?

-How much do you bet you stay below me again?

-Yeah, I want to see you try...

From one moment to another he pushed me and was on top of me for the second time in
a row, only that this time felt different, he got closer to me and kissed me but I pulled away.

-Don't you want to see a movie? --- I said trying to hide my nerves.

-Sure.

Watching the movie gave me time to think about what the hell had happened to me. I
wasn't stupid, I knew what I felt but I was embarrassed to say it out loud. The afternoon
passed quickly and I called my dad to come pick me up, I didn't feel so safe walking home
alone, and I didn't want Robin to go back to his house by himself.

When we saw my father's car through the window, I hurried to get my things. I was saying
goodbye to Robin in his room with a hug. I was about to open the door but at the last
moment I decided to give Robin a kiss, I hugged him around his waist and he took me by
the cheeks.

-Let's go jerk that dad is...

Robin and I parted ways immediately.

It was Gwen.

-Tha Fuck...
