Gemini.

"You're creepy. Like, a lot" I sighed annoyed as soon as my best friend Ohm opened his mouth for what could be the thousandth time.

"It's not true" I said offended crossing my arms and turning away from the figure sitting on the other side of the courtyard.

"Wouldn't it be better to go talk to him instead of staring at him like a stalker?" I made a noise in reply, returning to concentrate on Fourth, too busy playing football with our classmates to notice my insistent gaze. Luckily.

"I don't even know what to say to him" I bent my lips in a frustrated pout, feeling the need to tap my feet on the ground like a child. "You could start with "hi"? Maybe?" Ohm suggested ironically, glancing at me. I made a little unconvincing noise, not even giving him a glance.

"You're hopeless" I heard him puff, forcing me to throw at him the pen that was between the pages of the book I was holding on my legs.

"Oi!" he put his hands around my neck, pretending to strangle me while whispering a curse. I scooped him from me laughing and fixed my hair that had been messed up because of him.

"How is he so perfect?" I asked admiring Fourth, who was drinking from a bottle of water. His chest that was dropping and rising irregularly because of the game they had just finished.

As soon as I blinked I saw him spill the rest of the water on himself. The shirt, completely wet, was so glued to his body that I could see his abs even though I was sitting far from the field.

"He probably doesn't even notice the effect he has on people. You above all" Ohm gave me a judgmental look and got back to his anatomy notes.

"This makes it even more magnificent" I replied with a dreamy tone, leaning back on the oak of the tree under which we had decided to shelter ourselves, in order to escape the burning sun of that morning. "Someone kill me" Ohm whispered while putting on his headphones and completely neglecting reality.

"Thanks man, you're amazing" I replied with an ironic tone, raising my eyes to the sky and immediately returning to drool on the image of Fourth lifting his shirt to clean up the sweat that was pouring from his forehead.

Doing that his abs were in plain sight and in that moment I wanted to have a camera to capture that show, frame it and hang it in the Louvre.

I didn't even realize that I had opened my mouth until Ohm closed it with his hand, avoiding me to drool like a bulldog.

I saw Fourth's best friend come out of the field and approach him, gesturing frantically and laughing as he always used to do in class. " He's talking to Mark" when I didn't get any response from Ohm I noticed that he still had his headphones on.

I took them off, making him puff and raise his eyes to the sky. "What?" he complained and I could feel his murderous instincts against me grow. I nodded to the two friends on the edge of the field who were chatting and Ohm followed my gaze without showing any particular interest.

"You interrupted my mental fantasies just to show me Fourth interacting with someone who isn't you?" he raised an eyebrow and looked at me waiting for a response that would change my fate. I had to weigh the words well, or Ohm would kill me right there, under that hundred-year-old tree.

From the corner of my eye I watched Fourth hit Mark on the shoulder, probably mocking him that a week before his recent conquest had dumped him. A light bulb lit in my brain. I'm a genius.

"I have a plan" I said firmly, convincing myself more and more that I had a real flash of genius. Ohm looked at me not convinced at all. "Should I call an ambulance? Just to be sure?" he asked in a pretentious serious tone making me nervous.
