— Look, to be honest, I don't even know. The only time I had seen her face all these years was when my grandmother showed me an old picture of her with me on her lap. I would say that she came to try to apologize so that she could get closer and get money, I don't know.

— Although she is already rich, but she must have gone bankrupt, I don't know. Or regretted everything she's done. — She suggests looking at me and soon we start laughing — That woman is a devil, I don't even know why I cogitated this.

— To give you an idea, she doesn't even know my age, she told my mother that she was going to try to get my custody. She must think I'm fifteen.

—  I don't know how you handled it so well, really, I don't even know what I would do if something like this happened, I would freak out.

— I didn't handle it that well, to be honest. When she started following me I hated her so much that I don't even know how I could talk when my mom told me about the messages. I am afraid of her, very much so. I have no idea what this woman can do to me or to my mother, but the truth is that freaking out and hiding won't solve anything, so I will just live like a normal person.

I pause and take a bite of my chicken, digesting the matter.

— I'm actually going to live like I always have, I've never been very exposed in the media and I'm not going to be now. Exposure in front of the cameras only as a character. And if I really have something with Jude, we keep it hidden and that's it, it can't be that hard to have a life without exposure.

— So you are considering having an affair with the handsome one? — she teases me with an idiotic smile.

— Did I mention that I hate you today? No? Well, I hate you a lot.

— Stop it girl, I know you love me. — She stands up and picks up her purse and I do the same — But I'm serious, he likes you, you like him, you've already kissed. What are you waiting for?

— I don't know Juliana, I'm still thinking.

— Girl, you met in the beginning of February and you spent a month just exchanging likes and comments. No time to think about it yet? — she stops walking and stares at me

— Juliana comes soon, the movie will start soon. — I change the subject seeing her snort

We were going to watch Batman, I didn't agree with that. In fact, I went dressed in one of my Spiderman shirts. I only watched it because of Robert Pattinson, and also because any movie with Juliana is amazing, of course I didn't tell her that because I don't want to boost her ego.

We watched the whole movie with Juliana making thousands of comments in my ear, I won't deny that I love to watch movies like this, she can stand me when we watch almost three hours of Marvel movies, I have to stand her too. But to be honest if I were her I would thank her, I watch all the Marvel movies at the premiere, who doesn't want to be invited to an event like this. Just imagine, watching the Spider-Man movie next to Aunt May, she can do that even if it's at my house. I consider myself a great best friend, really.

When we left the movie she ran out and pulled me as hard as she could to get us to an ice cream stand, which she said would close in five minutes. It really was close and the ice cream was really good, but did she really need to make me run all the way there?

— I just wanted to go to a party, you know? Go out somewhere. — she begins to whine as we look for the car in the parking lot.

— And we're not going out?

— No, somewhere else, you know? A party like I just said and you didn't pay attention because you must have been thinking about your boyfriend.

— He's not my boyfriend, Juliana. Are you needy?

— Not me, I want a man away from me, for now I will focus on college and that's it. I have faith that by the end of the year I'll have even got an internship and God willing I'll be living alone. Like you, you know that you are a great inspiration to me? — she says, making me laugh with her last sentence — I'm serious, honey. My parents are rich but I can't depend on them all my life. If I don't finish Course and get into Faculty this year I think they will evict me from home.

We got in the car and drove all the way back the way we came, listening to music without caring about anything around us. Juliana had some course work due tomorrow, so as incredible as it seems, she didn't stay at my place. In fact she just dropped me off and left. I entered the house and, because it was already a little dark, the house seemed a little cold and empty. It's like someone is missing there, with time it gets less strange but it still bothers me a little.

My house isn't that big, it's big enough for an eighteen-year-old girl living alone. There would be no reason for it to be too big, considering the fact that I spend most of the day in my room. As soon as I enter the room, throwing myself on the bed, I feel my cell phone vibrate and soon see a message from Jude asking if I had arrived yet. I smile a little and answer him telling him that I was already home.

We didn't see each other much this week because of her training, which was making me a little anxious for the next time we would meet. I feel so, extremely, good when I am with him. Just hearing his voice on my cell phone makes me feel lighter. You know, I have to stop thinking about him for a while. I get up and snap out of my thoughts as I go to take a shower.

Hello world. Happy Easter in advance because I don't know when I'll be around. Today I finished writing the story. But I am finishing posting in Brazil.

I'm going into exam week and I have a lot of work to do, so I'm doing my best to translate here.

Anyway, please comment and vote. See you in the next chapter, bye!
