it's been a month and for some reason paulo hates me. i have no idea what i've done or said but he barely acknowledges my existence. he only talks to me if he's got a question about some homework or revision.
i'm currently sat at starbucks, just staring at my cup.
'tina, are you okay?' asks alejandro looking at me, snapping me out of my thoughts.
'yes, sorry i'm fine.' i say looking at them, smiling slightly.
'no, you're not. has something happened at home?' they ask and i shake my head.
'is it something to do with your health?' they ask and i shake my head once again.
'is it paulo?' luisa suddenly asks, making me stop. i just slightly nod my head.
'what happened?'
'he hasn't spoken to me for the past month. well he has, but only for school stuff.' i say shrugging.
'what? why?' asks alejandro confused.
'i have no idea! he just stopped answering my texts one day. at first, i sent a couple a day for the few first days but then i realised he's ignoring me for a reason.'
'that's strange, have you tried calling him?'
'no, i thought that would make things worse. i mean, i don't know why he's acting like this and i don't want to get too emotionally attached, it's not like we were actually a couple.' i say.
'come on tina, that's really unfair how he's treated you. he's led you then just abandons you? you're acting so calm.' says alejandro.
'maybe you should talk to him in person, say you need help with homework or something.' says luisa shrugging.
'no that's not the way to do it. confront him at school, in front of everyone. you know how popular he is, he'll be embarassed if you expose him in front of his friends.' says alejandro before taking a drink of his coffee.
maybe alejandro's right. maybe i should do it in front of everyone. he's treated me like i'm nothing, maybe it's my turn to give a taste of his own medicine.

paulo : baby
i look at my phone in shock, at the sudden message.not because he called me baby, but because he texted me. i look at my phone for a few minutes not knowing what to reply.
