I walked over to my mom and when I was halfway there she started talking.

ーoh, these are your friends?ーsaid my mother in Spanish emphasizing the word friends. I, still surprised by his appearance, just nodded slowly.

ーmom, I-ー I tried to say.

ーdon't worry darling, go get glasses from the kitchen, I want to meet your friendsー she said kindly but deep down it wasn't like that, I swallowed hard and went to the kitchen, Jotaro seemed too analytical not to notice that my mother was faking it and he doesn't seem like a particularly polite person.

I looked for a second to see Jotaro standing right in front of my mother, I don't know if he looked more threatening or it was just my imagination, kakyoin also looked serious.

ーI understand, we're sorry for the intrusionーKakyoin suddenly said grabbing Jotaro's arm and the bags to leave.I watched as they left feeling that no one else would ever come near me again. But before leaving, Kakyoin looked at me and turned her eyes up. What did he want to tell me?  He closed the door behind him leaving everything in abrupt silence. Without saying anything else, I went up to my room, falling on my bed when the sound of a paper distracted me, I moved to pick it up and read it: "come to Jotaro's house" I opened my eyes surprised, how had they put that there? I didn't want to make my mom mad for some reason whenever she got mad I ended up sick for weeks.

I grabbed that paper again rereading its content, I looked at the window for a moment and I leaned out my body. It was too tall to jump so I turned to walk to the door, my mother was in the kitchen so I couldn't leave without being seen. I grabbed an empty box and headed for the door.

ーI'm going to throw this away, I'll be right backーI said opening the door but my mother came quickly and closed it in front of me.

ーDo you think I'm stupid? While you go I'll come back, I know all the tricks you want to imagineーshe says raising the tone of her voiceー What were you doing with them?ーShe says even more annoyed.

A cold sweat began to trickle down my temple. I couldn't stand people yelling at me in anger and I was starting to get dizzy. "They?" Does she already know them?". A strong headache made me go back, I was getting sick again, my whole body felt weak and cold so I turned back to my bed without saying anything more to my mother, I really felt bad. I don't know what kind of disease exists that when I fight with my mother it always appears. I lay down on my bed and exhaustion and discomfort made me fall asleep right away.

I opened my eyes, they felt super heavy. My body felt like a rock. I grabbed my phone and checking the time saw that four days had passed my consciousness snapped back. I got up quickly. I looked at the time and it was 6 pm. I sighed loudly and put on clothes to go out and put on my backpack, I was clear where I wanted to go. I left quickly without seeing if my mother had seen me leave and I ran until I reached the doors of the aquarium, it would be dark in two hours so there was no time to waste. I entered that blue room, so pristine, so beautiful... I sat on a bench looking at the ceiling of the aquarium. Nurse sharks and manta rays passed by ,I felt calm there, that was my place.

I took my kalimba out of my backpack, there was no one else in the place and I played it, wrapping myself in its beautiful sound and the beautiful blue that the aquarium gave off.

I felt super calm, as if nothing mattered, without fear of anything. A small smile spread across my face as I watched a small shark pass next to me.

ーWow, you're not deadーI jumped and looked around. Jotaro was standing there looking at me with his cold gaze as if he analyzed every molecule of my being, making me wonder what was going through his head. Jotaro grabbed my wrist and led me to a huge curved glass. A beautiful whale shark crossed leaving a magnificent sensation in my chest, the sea was really fascinating.

ーThey can live for many years, even 100 years, and the marks on their skin is like a fingerprint, it is different in each specimen...one of their feared predators is the orcasーhearing the word orca I let out a slight sound of excitement. when I turned to see Jotaro his gaze was already fixed on me, his blue eyes bathed in the dim light of the aquarium made something inside me stir. I felt my breath stop for a little while. For a brief second her eyes reflected the softest whispers of the ocean...

I kept watching that whale shark get lost in the blue of the water.

ーthey are in extreme danger of extinctionーI said in a sad tone without taking my eyes off the aquarium.

ーthe aquarium is going to close and it's getting dark, time to go homeーhe said starting to walk towards the exit.

ーy-you don't need to come with me, I can go aloneーI say not wanting to bother him.

ーWho said to take you home? I live right in front of youーJotaro says without turning around.

I blushed with embarrassment when I noticed my mistake, at what point did I think someone cared that I was alone on the street? he care even less...

The night fell and it started to get cold, I loved cold nights, at first Jotaro and I talked a lot about animals but then we got completely quiet, I was impressed how that silence was comfortable and I didn't feel tense, with anyone I had felt something like that, and it was really nice. I could hear our footsteps and the cars as the cold became more intense. It was the first time I felt comfortable with Jotaro, in that aquarium it seemed that through those blue flashes I could have seen his soul. I don't see him the same as before, maybe now we could be friends. I looked at the ground, I really should have brought a jacket for the night. Suddenly I felt warm with a jacket and the smell of Jotaro, I was lost in his scent for a moment and turned to Jotaro.

ーI-I'm fine, use it or you'll get sickーI say trying to give it back.

ーyou've already been sick so put it on and shut upー I really didn't want to bother him so I wrapped myself in it and continued walking holding on to Jotaro's jacket. I felt strangely happy. I looked at Jotaro, I had never seen him without his jacket. I saw the street to my house and stopped before I was visible.

I handed him the jacketーthank you for letting me have it, I'm separating from you here so my mother doesn't get angry, the fight was recent ーI say looking at Jotaro. Right after I hugged him goodbye and he incredibly returned the hug.

ーSee you on Mondayー I heard Jotaro say as I approached my house. But I stopped.

ーJOTARO, FIRST OF ALLーI ran up to himーcould you give me your number and Kakyoin's?ー

ー hm, sureー he started dictating the numbers and I wrote them down on my phone,

ーthank you very much, now I am goingーagain I took my way home, when I entered I felt the sweet warmth of home and my mother was cooking.

ーWhere were you?ーMy mother asked without even turning to look at me.

ー I was at the aquariumーI said leaving things and showing the entrance to the aquarium.

ー stop wasting money on going to see the same fish but with weird shapesー she says with a groan.

I rolled my eyes without saying anything else and lay on the bed with my mobile, I talked to Jotaro about marine life all night, it was pretty amazing,Around 6am sleep overcame me and I fell asleep, it was quite strange, from one moment to another he went from scaring me to getting along with him..the magic of the sea I suppose.

The next day I woke up quite animated, I woke up with the first rays of dawn. I got dressed and got ready to walk along some path of cherry trees along the river. felt that nothing could go wrong.

...or that was what I thought.
