We arrived in a city, we were going to take a short vacation from class, from university, from family members who were suffocating us, at first I didn't want to go, but Bianca didn't leave me any alternative, or I would go or she promised to torture me forever with noises, drunkenness and parties in the room we shared, it would hurt me. How would you study for the guilds and Olympics with noises? Since I was going to keep my title as the best student I worked on for three years, and this was going to be the last year, I was finally going to isolate myself at work and spend very little time alone without having anyone distracting me or ruining my hard work.

Bia was not my friend, by far, I had no friends, I never liked intimate or physical relationships, so I had my own library, a newsstand full of books, just to avoid going out ... but Bia was not, she was very sociable , talked to everyone and everything, except what happened in class, she didn't pay attention and I was still obliged for three years to always do the work twice, but the worst thing was to explain the whole matter to her repeatedly until something "interesting" appeared a party where she should be. I would speak and receive the honor of a diploma and the merit of an excellent student of architecture and she would receive a crown and the title of prom queen and a diploma at my expense, I am just saddened by the institution that hired her with great expectations and then realize that she is a fraud and not even know what a cut is for sure. But I don't care about her future, unless it's not connected to mine.

We were both in town waiting for a virtual friend of hers from another school, and it goes without saying that he has the title of "the most popular idiot" at the university where he attends, and plays basketball and is successful with the girls, nothing that interested me.

"How I wanted to be reading a William Shakespeare book now than to be under that sun on a coastline that I don't even know the location in case I want to escape it... but maybe that will do me good, I will enjoy and study cultures and other things, I add more my thesis talking about nature and architecture from the side of valuing the environment, and then... "and I turn around interrupting my line of thought when I see what I assumed to be Bia's supposed friend, the ego he spoke to, waved and hitch the girls on the street did not leave doubts.

-A stunning beauty like that, it must only belong to the illustrious Bianca, am I wrong? - He said with an unselfish act and full of confidence.

-Cheap talking doesn't work for me, Matthew, so ... did you get someone else to cover the tour estimate?

-Of course, I never disappoint my friends ... that guy in the black jacket leaning against the tree, is the "Skull".

-Skull !? But what kind of name is that? - SHe burst out laughing, while I just dazzled people passing and bumping into each other as if it were nothing, it bothered me but my attention went back to Matthew's friend, he had an air of little conversation and just stood up watching the sea, he was in black, not like a goth, just neutral, I noticed a skull tattoo on his arm, maybe his nickname came from that.

-He's a kind of a freak, he never said his name and he doesn't speak to anyone, we have been sharing his room forever and he never said a word, surprise me that he came with us, but the more the better, and who is this friend of yours? It even looks like Billie Eilish with that posture and even in the way of standing, I'm going to call her that now.

- Let's go before we lose the boat.

-Boat? Where are we going? - I answered apprehensively without knowing anything

-Keep calm little Raven, you'll find out where I'm going to take you.

We took the bags and went down to the boats, the mysterious, as I now nicknamed him, always stayed behind us, as if he were avoiding us, thinking well if I could, i also avoided those two, always hugging and laughing, that gave me anguish .
