After we left the TV, Karla suggested that we go to a pub. That Friday I had no more evidence. Finally it was over; it was college vacations and work vacations. It was only the first half of my year and I was finished and I had not done the miracle that Norman had asked me to do.

Me, Alex, Benjamim Oliveira, Mariana, Karla, Marcela, the guy who takes care of the TV site, two producers from another production and an illuminator, we went to a bar that was nearby.

At the same time we arrived, Mariana went to the pool table. I have never seen a girl as thirsty to play as I have seen her. His eyes lit up when he saw the table. At the time, he started to challenge the men who were playing there. They laughed when she released the challenge. Beside them were bottles of beer, and half of them were drunk, but that did not inhibit Mariana, who was already choosing the taco and starting to play. It was just three rounds and two victories for her and the men who laughed at her now laughed with her. I was impressed with her ease of conversation and fell in love with people she didn't even know, especially at a pool table where they were prejudiced against her in the beginning.

We sat at a table and ordered beer. In the beginning the subject was TV and Norman. And everyone vented about talking about their diabolical living with her that semester; the absurdities she had asked for, the fights, the insults. And it all seemed like a joke, because whenever anyone talked about an experience with Norman, everyone laughed.

But it was only a few glasses of beer taking effect that the subject changed to sex. It was amazing how things always led to that subject.

- Guys - suggested Karla - let's play the game of truth?

Some loved the idea, like Alex editor, that his eyes even shone. Benjamim Oliveira did not like it very much.

- But you go! - ordered Karla to him.

The joke is as follows: - explained to Karla - a person asks something or says something. Whoever did what was said drinks a sip of the drink, whoever did not drink it.

Ixi - said Marcela - bring beer then.

Everyone looked at each other. Alex editor and Karla smiled, approving the idea, as well as the illuminator and one of the producers of the other production. I supported and, like Marcela, since we were there, the way was to get into the game. Only Benjamim Oliveiro, who still didn't like the game.

The game was as follows: someone says something, whoever had already done what was said, drank a drink. Mariana started:

- I already asked to be hit at the time of s ...- and drank a beer in his glass.

Then, everyone drank, except Benjamim Oliveira and one of the other producers.

"Benjamin is romantic," mocked the other editor Alex.

Benjamin, with colored hair, was shy, looking from side to side.

- My turn - said the editor Alex. - I farted right away.

It had to be him to make the subject disgusting. He drank his beer with as much grace as he could, looking at everyone around the table. As he saw that no one drank, he tried to explain himself. He said it was only once, that the girl had climbed on him and he had eaten a lot. This made the situation even more disgusting in my view.

- After this blow job that Alex did - spoke to Karla -, my turn: I already used objects from s ... shop. *

Almost everyone drank, except, again, Benjamin.

"Benjamin," said the illuminator, "you only do the ... basic thing, are you?"

Everyone laughed, but we expected an answer from him.

- Not that, people - he said showing shyness.

- So what is it? asked Marcela.

- It's just that I'm still a virgin.

The expression on everyone's face was indescribable. Each showed a form of surprise at Benjamin's confession.

- How old are you? he asked Karla.

- I'm 25 years old.

"And you never caught a girl, Benjamin," asked the illuminator again.

"You're fucking blind," he said to Mari. - He likes boys. Isn't it Benjamin? You can talk to us about.

He replied in the affirmative, shaking his head.

- And you already did if ... with some boy? asked Alex.

- No! I'm a virgin, right - he replied, but this time with a little smile.

- And how do you know you like boys if you never stayed? - tried the illuminator again.

- Have you ever been with a boy? - Benjamim asked very shyly, to the illuminator.

- No! - he replied,

- And why do you know you don't like it?

The silence at the table was general. We realized that the atmosphere of relaxation had become heavy. But it was soon broken by the cute Alex Editor.

- Ah people, Benjamin is waiting for a prince charming I came to pick him up astride his white horse. Isn't it Benjamin?

- Clear! - the joke made him relax a little, and he replied with a smile.

It was amazing how the conversation didn't change, or when it did, it went back to the se ....

- Let's go back - said one of the producers of another production. She was already quite upset. She was the only one at the table who was mixing beer with a hot drink. Her speech already denounced that she was already drunk. - My turn to speak a truth: I already have sex ... with a girl! - and she took a big sip with her eyes closed. Everyone at the table was looking at her. I was curious. It's good to try new things. And why didn't you boys drink? I said I already had sex with a girl. You never?

At the time all the boys at the table took a sip of beer, except Benjamin Oliveira. The conversation went worse. It was amazing how man's creativity overcomes limits when it comes to his most prehistoric instinct. When it was time to create a program agenda, it took us days. But to create something related to s ... it was a matter of seconds. When the game took another turn and everyone had already spoken one more truth, it was time again for the illuminator.

- I already did s ... with more than one person! - and he took a big sip of his beer.

Some people there too, including the drunk producer.

It was Alex Alex's turn.

- I've done it with more than two people! - only this time he didn't drink - I'm not going to drink because I never did, but whoever has done it can drink.

Only the drunk producer had been drinking. Everyone laughed and looked at her. It was my turn and I wanted to see how far it was going.

- I've done it with more than three people! - And, like the editor Alex, I didn't drink, but everyone looked directly at the drunk producer. She turned the last sip of beer in her glass.

- Guys - she said almost sobbing - I'm going to open the game, because this is a game of truth. But, up to seven people I'm drinking, okay?

My God, that's crazy. What confessions were going out there at that bar table. It was one after the other. I was imagining that, as interns, when we came back from vacation, we would come back with a bag over our heads, if it did.

It didn't take long and only the production company that had changed, nobody else was in that state. Mari also played another game of pool with some men that we saw being drunk and, of course, she won.

I said goodbye to the interns, the production companies and the illuminator and went to the Metro. I felt free from a diabolical being like Norman, at least for a month. But that freedom gave way to emptiness and I remembered: I'm on vacation, and now, what to do in them?
