  I woke up half an hour before my alarm was set to ring. My eyelids were heavy as I opened them. I took in the body next to me: lying on his stomach, his naked back at me, hands gripping the pillow on which his head with those beautiful curls now lay, still sleeping. It took me a moment to remember what exactly had happened last night, before I shot up, waking Ander. He seemed to be as surprised as I was, realizing our nakedness.
 

  One hour later I was walking to school with My sister, Marina. Guzman was driving to school with Ander and Polo.

  "Hey Iréne, you seem weird today, is everything ok?" Marina asked me. I always admired her for being able to tell when someone was acting weird. Right now though, it was the last thing I needed. "Is it because it's the first day of school? Please don't tell me it's because of the new kids- I've had enough of Guzman mumbling for a week how he's gonna make their lives a living hell if they so much as breath wrong towards us!" She added.

  "No, I just couldn't sleep last night so I'm tired that's all..." I lied. I usually didn't keep anything from her, considering that we were pretty close, but what had happened last night wasn't something that I could just say and expect her not to make a fuss about it. "So about the new kids"  I said quickly, changing the subject. "I'm not gonna tell you the same shit as Guzman, don't worry" I added noticing her face when I mentioned them.

  I knew why Guzman was acting that way though. She knew too. After what had happened with Pablo, he couldn't help but being an annoying ass of a brother, trying to protect his sister. I didn't mind him watching over us, he loved us and that made me feel safe. Especially since it was common knowledge that Marina could be very reckless. But truth to be told, it could be really annoying sometimes. Most of the times. Especially when it came to boys. And that was why I continued "I just want to be sure that if any of them proves not to be so good.... you won't do something stupid again. I'm not telling you not to meet them or be friends with them- I'd like to meet them too- but be on your guard. Please. You know we all care about you." Marina shrugged but nodded her head in agreement.

  We walked the rest of the way talking about random stuff, with me trying to pretend everything was normal after last night.

  When we reached school we separated. I spotted my brother with Lu, Carla, Ander and Polo. Before I could decide whether I could handle this encounter with Ander, Lu saw me and waved for me to go to them, so I started walking slowly.

  "You're finally here, I was getting worried. I still don't get why you didn't come with us, you and Marina could have saved your selves from all that walking, and my heart would have been in its place" Guzman told me when I reached them and stood next to Lu-as far away from Ander as possible.
 
  I hugged the girls and then answered him, avoiding Ander's eyes, "For Christ's sake Guzman! Get over yourself with all that worrying, we just felt like walking"

  "Did you have fun last night, boys?" Lu cut in, knowing that if the conversation with Guzman kept going, we'd probably end up brawling in the hallways.

  Ander and I locked eyes at the mention of last night, immediately looking away, something that didn't go unnoticed by Lu, who was pretending to hear what Polo and Guzman were answering her.

  "Look, the knew kids are here" Carla announced, pointing at the three kids now standing at the door. I didn't even notice them as I caught Ander staring at me. When he realized I saw him he immediately looked at the ground. I wanted to slap him for doing that, knowing that Lu was watching us and that I'd go through a thorough interrogation at first chance.

  "God I can't stand watching them I'm going to the classroom, are you coming?" Guzman asked us. Ander went after him without a second glance at me, Polo, with an arm around Carla's shoulders following.
