The next day, I was with my usual companions during a break: Guzman, Polo, Lu, Carla and to my dismay, Ander. It wasn't that I'd stopped liking him as a friend, but I felt really awkward when he was around.
Guzman was brooding about the new kids to Ander. Typical. The rest of us were talking about Marina's upcoming party, when a voice, that could belong to none other than Christian, said "Party? What party?"
That was gonna be fun.
Guzman didn't miss time and cut in "I was talking to my friends"
Christian must have had some balls, because he completely ignored him and started chatting with us. Carla and Polo were watching him with interest.
"So are you going to tell me about the party?" Christian asked again
"It's none of your of business, like our conversation" Guzman said bluntly
"To whom do I have to speak for an invitation? You've never partied with me"
"The roof fell on your head right? It might have damaged your head. In which language do I have to say it so that you understand? Goodbye!"
"And if I don't want to go?"
"Look, you're slow and probably don't get me-"
"Guzman" I cut in to avoid a bigger fight. "Let's go"
Ander mercifully was dragging him away.
The same day, i received a phone call from Lu, who was clearly upset. Nadia, the new girl, had seen her and Guzman during some very.... intimate moments, in the school. They had it coming though.
I pitied the girl cause I knew Lu. She had proved to be a strong opponent for the prize, and in addition to that incident in the showers... I was sure that Lu would do some very horrible things. Since I couldn't change her mind, I'd decided that I just didn't wanna know.
The day of Marina's party had finally arrived and we were together in her room, getting ready.
"Iréne...."
"I'm listening" I said while straightening my hair.
"Well.... I did something... and I'm not regretting it, but I want you to know it in case Guzman.... doesn't react very calmly." At that moment I knew
"You invited Samuel?"
"Yes"
"Okay. If he's smart he won't provoke Guzman and everything will be fine" I said but I didn't believe it. I just wanted her to be in a good mood before her party.
We finished with our hair and make up and got quickly dressed. I wore a tight bright red mini dress, and Marina a white flowing one.
People started coming after a while. Both kids and adults. Of course the paparazzi didn't miss the party, to my parents' delight.
I spotted Ander when he walked in. He was with Samuel, Nadia and Christian.
Oh god. It was gonna be a long night.
At first, I sat with Lu and Carla, commenting on everyone's clothes. But then, we got interrupted. By none other than Christian. When Carla seemed very pleased by his presence, Lu muttered a disgusted "oh please" and drugged me away. We started dancing, until I noticed Guzman going towards a very drunk Ander. I new it was because he had invited Christian. Their conversation was intense and I decided to interfere.
"Guzman" I said when I reached them. They both turned towards me. "He's drunk as hell. Leave him be and you'll talk about it another time." He shrugged but listened to me and left. I only shot Ander a judging glare and left him too.
Everyone was dancing now, but I wasn't in the mood anymore. And then Ander puked on Lu. For Christ's sake.
I couldn't spot any of my family members, so I searched for them and found them all in the kitchen. The room was full of tension.
"What's going on?" I asked as soon as I saw them
"Apparently your father has let in the the person who vandalized our home" my mum answered, her eyes glowing. "Why did you let him in?" She asked now, addressing my father.
"Oh he had a motive mum" Marina answered first. "A photo for the paparazzi" So this person was Samuel. My mum was as shocked as I was.
"Dad..." I didn't know what I wanted to say to him..
"Is this true?" My mum asked.
"Mum, don't be surprised." Marina said, "You're the only one who still gets disappointed by dad." I was speechless.
It was Guzman who then said "These people are no good for us, Marina. Why do I keep seeing you with them?"
"Why don you leave them alone, Guzman?" I found myself saying to him
"Because I don't wanna see my sister getting hurt again!" He was now yelling.
Marina answered him, equally irritated, "Pablo didn't mean to hurt me!"
"Marina! It's not the time for that. Please..." my mum cut in.
"When is it then?! Tell me when. Why don't we never talk about this? You spent a fortune on psychologists trying to convince me that nothing happened. That life goes on." Marina was pacing now "but you know something? Every time you avoid the matter, I feel like fucking trash! I fell in love with a boy and he gave me the virus. I need you to say it! 'My sixteen year old daughter is HIV positive'!"
No one was speaking now, so she left the room. I trailed after her.
When I was alone with her, I asked her
"Are you ok?"
"Yes.... yes I'm fine... I just want them to finally understand. They think this kind of stuff can't get us... but it can. And they won't accept it. Not even Guzman"
I hugged her tightly and told her "I know. But I'm here. And I understand. And I want you to be happy" I felt tears gathering in my eyes and when I withdrew, Marina's eyes were glowing too.
"You're the only one who gets it" she said and left, probably in search of Samuel.
This night was a mess. I needed to be alone so I headed for the bathroom, to calm my nerves and fix my self a bit.
For some minutes I was just looking at my reflection in the mirror. I looked as bad as all this fighting, with friends and family, had made me feel. I reached for a lipstick on the marble, next to the tap.
I was slightly bent over the bathroom tap, trying to put some lipstick on, since the first layer, that I'd put before the party had started, was nowhere to be seen, when the door opened.

Hey guys! ❤️
I hope you liked this chapter. I think it was a powerful one.
I know that the scene in the kitchen is exactly the same as in the series, but I really felt that that scene was a powerful and emotional one, so I wanted it to be in this chapter and I didn't want to mess with it. My writing felt really weak after that scene...
Again, I own nothing but my original character.
Who do you think opened the door???😜
As always, I'm waiting for your comments! Feel free to tell me your opinion!❣️❣️❣️
