CHAPTER 5.3

The girls are walking towards us.I can tell by their looks that they have something to say to me. It falls to me to warn them about the queue in force. There is no pushing out in front of others. There must be rules. Finally they stand in front of me. They ostentatiously fix their hair.

- No, I understand how you could think something like that. Let alone do it to Asher. - Mairi attacks me indignantly. - He is such a wonderful man. Sensitive. You hurt him terribly.

Are you trying to tell me that you're talking about the same guy as me? Is she sure? It's true that I don't know him much. But let's respect each other.

- You are mentally unstable.

How intelligent Sofía is, she psychoanalyzed me after one of my mistakes. I went to a bad school for so many years, they didn't teach such things there.

- Like a Neanderthal. - I don't like these two anymore.

- I knew you knew such a word. And you understood its meaning. But you have learned to put it into practice. - Erich says. - Congratulations. I'm impressed. You weren't idle and you took corks during.

- Stay away from her. - Sofía interjects.

- The next one spoke.

- I have the best average in school.

- And look, in practice you are missing out on this knowledge somewhere.

- The rudeness of the commoners will never be eradicated. Even with money. I advise you to invest in a good upbringing. Maybe someone will fall for your talk. - It was frosty. Someone doesn't like each other here.

- Erich, you support unjustified violence. - Mairi speaks up.

- As for the Davis brothers, it is always justified, even ninety-nine per cent of women will confirm this to you.

- We just want to get Róży's attention. Violence solves nothing.

- Really, first I've heard of it. You should try to win the Nobel Prize.

- I can't even talk to you about serious topics.

Sofía mirrors him with distaste, then they huff and walk away presumably offended. Mairi follows her

- Ignore them, you dared to hit one of their idols. - Sheila says. - They would get sick if they didn't tell you that.

- Nothing happened.

- What are they so cute about this morning. Did they get therapy?

- No, they're finally going to see the triplets every day.

- Silly me. It's obvious.

The sound of the bell echoes throughout the school. I go to class with Erich.

And it's already there Sofia sits in the front row. The seat next to her is empty. As if it was waiting for me. What am I afraid of? Are you sure this is a good idea? I keep looking around. Erich joins the boy with a stocky build. Light brown hair and gray eyes. His smile has the power to communicate to others. Maybe it will be fine. There are two empty seats behind him. Unfortunately, before the triplets. Asher and I look at each other wryly. However, for lack of anything else, I go to the bench. Joy and euphoria overwhelm me. I feel a bit trapped.

- Here it is occupied. - Ascher Intervenes.

- You really didn't have to. Thank you.

- Mongrel, get out of here.

- You and Asher don't like each other. I'm Zsolt. - The boy next to Erich asks me.

- Róża. Somehow we are not on the right track for that.

- Let's be clear. - A voice from the back speaks up. - They get rabies at the sight of each other .Foam is leaking from their mouths.

- Hate at first sight. - The lodge of scoffers already draped.

- She figured you guys out quickly. - Erich mocks.

- Take charge of your own life and don't interfere with someone else's. But in your case it's family nitpicking. - Asher says with hostility. The boy's expression hardens.

- It's the same every year. I will have to separate you again. Have you finally grown up? - Zysolt is asking.

The teacher enters the class. With delicate facial features, thin lips, porcelain skin. Decorated with a few wrinkles. Her beauty is emphasized by her shapely figure and long legs.

- Good morning.

- Good morning. Our new student has arrived. How nice. My name is Päivi Mäkinen. Will you introduce yourself to us? -Shee puts things on his desk and takes a chair.

Why do we need this move? Now you have to start all over again. He gets up.

- My name is Róża Zielińska.

- Foreign name and surname. Where are you from?

- From Poland.

- We have an incredible mix of residents from all over the world. You and your family will certainly feel at home here.

The door opens and a dark-skinned girl enters. She cuts a boyish hairstyle that suits her petite face extremely well. Black streamers seem to be glued over the ear and the cork. A silhouette dressed in loose clothes becomes completely shapeless.

- Good morning. Sorry for being late.

- Good morning. Let this be the last time.

I take advantage of the moment and sit down, maybe the teacher will forget about questioning me further. The girl looks at me with a frown, then at the triplets. And she tentatively takes a seat next to me. Finally he turns towards me, bringing his face way too close. Inhaling air through the nose. She's sniffing me!?! And he smiles warmly.

- Valentina! - A voice from behind warns her in a whisper.

- You didn't tell me about the new addition, guys. - She looks excitedly at the triplets.

- Don't scare people. Then they make it up on us that we imprison people..

- But, how so?

- Valentina doesn't. - She looks at me regretfully and turns to the teacher.

All right. It was strange. Even for years of experience with Nasturtium. The girl seems completely uninterested in me anymore. And Erich's look at me is intense and unpleasant. I feel uninformed. I'm a little bit scared of these people. Maybe the Mairi of Sofía aren't so bad in their brutal honesty.

- You don't think too much anymore, because it never works out for you. - A voice behind me warns the boy, who as if nothing is already smiling in my direction.

I don't know if this day can be considered a success. Even though it's just getting started.
