STORYTELLER'S POV

- Luciana!

Ay Dios mío bendito, the girl murmured hearing her formal name which her mother only uttered when she was extremely upset or when her last boyfriend had disappointed her expectations. She wondered what could she had done wrong this time because her mother had been strangely quiet in the love field for a while.

She stood silent so her mum could ignore her but it didn't work out. She was going to tell her off.

- Luciana! Have you gone deaf, mija?

- No, mum! Can you please let me having a pee quietly?

- How many times do I have to tell you don't get the mouse to take a walk? He's just shitted the sofa. And you're gonna clean it up.

- He's not a mouse, he's a hámster and Freddie never does those things out of his enviroment. What did you do to him?

- I've done nothing to your Freddie. Did you finish in the bathroom?

The teenager decided finally to slip out and face her moody mother.

- Mum, relax, okay? It's just two little balls. Can you see? The sofa looks brand new.

- Get him into his cage again, will you? I'm expecting a visitor and I want it all looking pretty tidy.

- Who is the visitor? The last month one? The one you threw his jacket through the window?

- That jerk is a thing of the past. I got an appointment to do my nails and my hair and I want some peace and quiet at home, alright?

- Is he good-looking?

- Most of all he's a professional and very polite man. I'm sick and tired of those weak little men. And...

- Keep cool. I will keep myself locked down in my room all day through dra... studying.

- Were you gonna say drawing?

- I got quite a big group of followers in Instagram who are asking me for more drawings and it's been a while since I don't post anything. I'm feeling like I'm kinda betraying them, mum.

- Your studies are the first thing. You know it.

- Oh, gosh. I've gotten very good results in almost every subject.

- Luci, you gotta try even harder, love. You are perfectly capable to get higher marks just working on it, right?

- Yes, mum.

- Don't be too noisy. Don't play the music loud or dance like crazy.

- I will be a tomb.

Since she was 16 years old she was in need of doing something new. But everything stayed the same around her and that brought her a little bit down. Her best friend had moved to Buenos Aires, the new guy she liked had just got a flirt with her worst enemy and of course didn't set his eyes on her only once and on top of that, Turn back the Time had been through a fade-to-black. The secret forum was out of service until further notice.
