You belong to me (English Edition)

"It will take me a moment to make you fall at my feet"

I find myself in front of this grey gate with "British School of Córdoba" written on it, I was always happy to go back to school after the summer holidays, except this year.

This summer I met the love of my life, Nicolas, the sweetest and most beautiful boy I have ever met, but unfortunately our paths had to be divided because he lives in America, we will only be able to meet again next summer.

I assume I fell in love with him, to my friends I practically only talk about him and all the crazy things we did this summer including the evenings we spent alone in his house by the lake.

I assume it was the best summer of my life, no guy has ever fallen in love with me, that's because I'm a very introverted person and I'm anxious to talk to any male being, since I'm always afraid of being judged.

But with Nicolas he was different, he never treated me badly, in fact he was always very sweet to me.

After making all these mental films it's time to enter the classroom, mostly because otherwise I look weird since I've been staring at the school sign for a quarter of an hour.

As I walk the corridors in search of my class I'm going to bump into a male figure, I didn't even have time to enter that I've already made a shitty figure, I don't want to believe it.

I look him in the face and discover that he is Ares Hidalgo, the most popular boy in the school, the boy desired by all.

In recent years it was nice but nothing big, while this year I see an improvement, first of all he made the buzz cut and I must say that compared to the tuft he had until last year he looks better, then he changed his clothes, before he put on all bad things, now he is dressed all branded.

The Hidalgos are the most famous family in Barcelona, I can't understand why they enrolled their son in such a poor school as ours.

"Oh fuck!" I exclaim because I remembered the shitty figure and that I've been staring at it for 5 minutes.

He replies "Well back on planet Earth Raquel, unfortunately for you I know I'm the most beautiful boy in the world" after stating that winks at me.

I think he misunderstood, I will never fall at his feet like all the others do.

In order not to make him sick, I just raise my eyes to the sky.

"It will take me a moment to make you fall at my feet" I answer coldly "wait and hope"

After this shitty figure I decide to change direction to escape any misunderstandings.

This first day started with the wrong foot.

I go to the bathroom for a moment and then I go to class so much I'm early.

I enter the classroom and the first thing I notice is Ares' gaze pointed at me, I don't know why but I feel a shiver passing all over my body, I'm upset.

I look away from Ares and sit down at the desk that is further away from him.

All the lesson I can't concentrate, Ares has his gaze on me all the time, I look at him and he bites his lip, my goodness, another shiver.

I can't make it, I get out of class and head to the bathroom, but first I make sure no one has followed me.

"What's going on with you Raquel?" My brain can only think about this question.

I can't understand, those chills only came to me with Nicolas...

I'm worried, until I feel hot hands on my hips that make my heartbeats jump.

I turn around and see Ares, I'm confused, I don't understand why he got so familiar with me, for 3 years we've never talked to each other and now he's looking for me, he looks at me, he touches me...
