Make it burn

Chapter 1

The first rays of sunlight caressed the dawn. A girl walked through the crowd looking for her friends. After a few minutes she found them, in the same place and in the same time that always. She smiled. Despite of being so early, she seemed to be full of energy.

"Good morning."greeted the girl with brown hair and navy blue eyes.

Dark blue. Since she was a little girl she was used to hearing that she had a very strange eye colour, but at the same time very beautiful. She wore a green and gray uniform, with a Roxi backpack full of books.

"Good morning, Veronica. I'm glad to see you." said her friend Eva warmly, dressed the same way that she was, with that horrible uniform that Paloma hated so much.

"Oh please! Do you have to be so repudiantly educated from so early? Besides ... good morning? Do you really mean that this can be a good morning?" Paloma complained with a totally sleepy face. "How can it be a good day if we are going to be locked six hours in this prison?"

It was five to eight in the morning and they were about to enter the Colosseum, a middle class institute, and nevertheless one of the best of that small city, Neone, lost somewhere in the north of Spain.

"It should be forbidden to get up so early" continued Paloma with her black outlined eyes and her thin face marked by that dyed dark hair.

Veronica and Eva changed a complicity sight, knowing that Paloma hated wake up early more than anything in the world. In the air, you could breathe the typical bustle in which hundreds of young people were part. The door of the high school were about to open. A bell was heard throughout the building as the youths began to enter. From above, that crowd looked like a squad of soldiers who were entering into the building in a bad way, pushing and screaming at each other.

Veronica and Eva waited until almost everyone had entered to go through the main doors. Both girls walked looking Paloma with disapproval. Paloma loved pushing any girl with she wasn't keen on.

Everything seemed to indicate that it was going to be a boring day like any other, and in fact it would be, if it not was for that group of young smokers who left the entrance running to avoid being run over. None cursed or insulted the reason why they did it, since they knew that if they did, they would look for more than one problem.

The roar of a motorcycle was heard in the background as all eyes turned to the outside door. An attractive boy with brown hair had entered and slid his motorbike through the front lawn with a perfect smile, ignoring the gardener who shouted that he could not drive into a public center.

"You're going to kill someone!" shouted the gardener "My plants, do not step on them!"

Just a few seconds later two other young people entered the school, destroying everything in their path and laughing like crazy. These two, in contradistinction to the first guy, were blond. Everyone could deduce that the last two were high, or at least, they had been in a short time ago because of their red eyes.

"Stupid boy! " shouted the gardener approaching to the first one and thinking he was going to stop the motorbike because he was in front of him.

The young man only accelerated, laughing even harder when the older man had to throw himself on the ground to avoid being run over by a motorcycle that had maintained its trajectory and that was destroying all the flowers and grass of the place. The other two guys were doing circles around the grass leaving empty spaces on the lawn. Nobody noticed that one of them poured gasoline on the greenish soil and that the other lit a match.

The boy who entered the first place approached amusingly and imposingly to the gardener. He increased his speed and follow the gardener with his blue motorcycle. Although, there was a shadow of caution on his face, just below all the confident he always was. The man ran desperate while the boy reduced the speed to pass near of the girls. Three sights were on him when he passed by their side. He, on the other hand, only had eyes for girl with a bang and he winked the eye to her. Veronica stared at him, stunned. He was the first boy who gave her that gesture in a situation like that. The girl's hair waved free in the air for a fraction of a second while she was holding her breath and trembling almost imperceptibly.
