Ok, Monday 7:30 in the morning, yes it seems like a miracle that I'm up at this time. But something I have to do with what I feel for Cami.

I walk down the stairs and the first thing I hear is:

"O dios es Valentina levantada temprano, por favor Alicia pellizcame" Sarcastic comment 100% said by my brother Santiago. I had breakfast and went to class at 7:45, perfect at that time I think Greta, Mike and Cami are still leaving their houses.

And why do I go to class so early? Easy, I wrote a poem to Cami (Obviously it's not handwritten, since they recognize my handwriting) to leave it in her locker.

ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇɴ' ᴛᴏᴏ ᴛᴀʟʟ

ʙᴜᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ɪɴᴍᴇɴꜱᴇ

ᴀɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ɢᴏᴛ ᴍᴀɢɪᴄ

ᴡʜᴇɴ ʏᴏᴜ ꜱᴍɪʟᴇ

ʏᴏᴜʀ ʜᴇɪɢʜᴛ ɪᴛꜱ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴀᴍᴇ

ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅɪꜱᴛᴀɴᴄᴇ

Ok, I know it's horrible, but you also have to understand that just recently I, a 100% Mexican teenager, moved to the United States. Obviously there is going to be a lot of difference from the writing of a 100% Mexican girl that the only thing she used before the English language was in class to ask useless questions like "What's in your pencil case?" While the person who is going to read this is 50% Portuguese and 50% American.

When I finally get to class while listening to Ansiedad by Veassun (Because that's how I feel right now, although the song itself doesn't talk much about anxiety specifically, but I'd rather listen to this than listen to No tengo hambre tengo ansiedad).

I inserted the poem in the small grids of Cami's locker (being careful not to let the janitor see me) I opened the classroom door, which once inside I closed so that when my friends arrived they wouldn't be scared about something "strange". I sat down and read the book Verity by Collen Hoover, honestly I force myself to read books in English most of the time to improve the language, and I thought it would be good to start this habit with books by Collen Hoover.

Minutes passed and I could hear the sound of the door opening. And you won't believe that was the first thing I heard.

"Porca puttana, c'è Valentina" Words said by Greta while she was leaning on the wall while her other hand was still leaning on the door handle.  Words that I won't understand either because I don't know any Italian and I probably won't understand them in a couple of years either (And the only thing I know about Italian is 1% and that's because of all the music I listen to by Måneskin). After that I could see Mike behind Greta waving at me, Cami is obviously behind him. I know Cami hasn't seen the poem yet, since she doesn't touch her locker on Mondays until 9:30. So it's just time to wait, not their first words addressed to me since they told me.
