I was about to not care about Michael because he forgets a lot. It took him forever to learn my name, and the fact that when people are angry say stupid things, that when people are angry say stupid things , that they will realize with time.

Till I went to visit Katherine to her classroom as an impulse and, there was she talking with Michael. When she saw me and left the room, I asked her what happened, she said nothing. I asked again and she replied "It really doesn't matter".

That whole day I worried about it. I thought and made list on my head of the ways how he could hurt her. But I wasn't sure about his plan. I had to figure it all so Katherine wouldn't get hurt.

Michael is the cliche guy every girl writes on Wattpad. The popular guy everyone wants, rich, dangerous, doesn't have a good heart and violent. Except he doesn't play a pervert game. He is mean and doesn't care. Whenever he has girlfriends he always cheats on them or makes something that a player would do. I know all that because my cousin Marcella loves Wattpad and she always tells me about the stories. We talk all the time on Skype because she doesn't have FaceTime, she lives in Germany, she is studying medicine.

Its a Sunday morning, so I tried to talk with Marcella but she didn't reply, probably she was busy. But Katherine was available. I don't know how I have her on Skype we were mortal enemies. I called her but when it was ringing I regretted it, so I cancelled the call.

She called me and doubly I answer.

-Did you call me?

-Only by accident. You don't reply messages but calls you do.

-Calls are more personal.

-What you are going to do today?

-I was going running with my brother but he ditched me for some friends.

-You look nice in shorts.

-Your hair looks nice messy... Wanna come?

-Yeah.

I arrived to the athletes stadium and she was stretching. I came near her, I was nervous as hell.

-Kat.

-Matt.

-You forgot your earphones?

-When I run I don't listen music. I like listening to the nature.

-That is weird.

-Why?

-I don't know, you are weird but in a cool way.

She smiled.

We made a deal. The loser would pay the incredible good sandwiches of the Ville. The Ville is an awesome place, with pretty houses, simple houses. That place is the dream. Sometimes when I ride the bicycle I come there and just dream about it. Is the place to live when you settled down, got kids and a beautiful wife. We go to the sandwiches because is the cheapest place in the Ville.

We setter a chronometer and started running. At the beginning I was faster and I was winning, I was thinking that it was going to be awkward if I won to let her pay my sandwich but the world is changing so it will be okay.

She started to speed and she won. I was surprised. When we were kids, she was a fat girl who didn't like gym class and now she won against one of the best americano players at school, I was choked.

She danced her victory at my face.

We entered to the Ville, I bought our sandwiches, it was like our first date so it had to be perfect. She was going to sit in a table at the dinner but I had a better idea. Fortunately one of the houses at the Ville was empty. We entered and stayed at the Roof. We were watching the sky.

-It's pretty amazing.

-Yes is lovely.

-It feels like paradise , too calm.

-Maybe too much.

-What you mean.

-It smells like routine.

-What is wrong about it?

-I read to escape from it, not to be stuck at it.

-Maybe you just haven't met someone is worth living on a routine.

-It's not about changing your mind, is about being with someone who respects it and likes it. Someone who wants to be with you for the way you are, the way you think. Wants to be with you for the way you are. No changes.

-For someone who has never had a boyfriend, you have a pretty strong mind about it.

-I am not jew and I have a strong mind about Hitler... Matthew, having a boyfriend is not the only expression of love.

I took her home. Katherine and I are a little bit different. But we have a strong connection and a lot of chemistry. I swear the whole periodic chart is on her eyes.

I don't know why but I had the impulse to keep talking with her. I wanted to know what its on her mind.

I called her from Skype and kept the whole night talking about a thousand things: Kent, Einstein, the unfair deaths, the royalty, Stephen Zweig, Comics, Books, The Oscars. We fall sleep talking. When I woke up the first thing that I saw was Katherine, slept on her laptop. I waited her to wake up, to say "Good Morning, goodbye, See you at school".

When I asked Katherine what she was going to do after school she didn't know, no plan, just I don't know. "I don't know what I am going to do, I just knows its related with books". She said, she didn't look worried. I am worried sick about the future. Its the only thing I can think about, what I am going to do.

I had three missing calls from Jennifer, she wanted to tell me something.

Normally Jennifer is egocentrist. She only cares about her feelings, very romantic. Sometimes I stopped listening, just to see her talking. Like everything is silent. I usually smile when I admire her beauty. The way her hair moves or her expressions. She is very passionate like an artist.

Friday night, Michael went to her house. I should tell her to be careful about Michael, in less than a week, he will be done with her. Jennifer is not the type of girls who writes poems. Plus she doesn't get illusions, she knows Michael only wants to have fun or revenge.

She talked about Michael the whole day. Honestly she was being very stupid.

I was actually glad that he forgot about the threat of Katherine.

Jennifer was right about one thing. He was being weird. He missed practice at the morning and afternoon, when he never misses practice. I asked Katherine because she shares classes with him, she said that he didn't come.

The King is gone.

Love live the King.
