Still 21st Day

The first visit I received the next day was Fernando's. I do not remember having invited him, but I did not send him away either. I have not forgotten the last conversation we had here at home. At school we would rather ignored each other. So I did not know why he was here. Maybe Carla had made him come, but Carla was the last person to worry about me. They have not been communicating much since I played the gossipy cupid just to get rid of him.

“Dude, what was that yesterday? You looked crazy.”

“What? Did you come here to finish trampling me?”

“Sorry, said by accident. Just got worried.”

“Carla sent you?”

“No,” Fernando put his hand behind the back of his neck, releasing his nervousness. “She and I don't talk much. You know since when...”

“You can throw it in my face, I know I flinched.”

“You keep doing this.”

“You too. You have a beautiful, nice girl, ok, she's a little stressed out, she's super in love with you, and what you do is run away. Dude, go invite her out. I don't know, you don't look like you drink or go to parties, but you can call her for an ice cream or a movie.”

“She and I are just friends.”

“She and I are just friends,” I imitated him. “Never a girl like her will give you moral again.”

“You are offending me. I already said that we are just friends.”

“Elle and I were just friends too and look what we got. Looks like she is in love with me,” I vented, just for venting and also because Fernando had a crush on Elle. What to do? I cannot be good all the time.

“Is Elle in love with you?” Fernando asked incredulously, disappointed.

“Yeah. I thought she was a smart girl. It was hard to believe, but then I put the pieces together. The way she looks at me.”

“Which way?”

“What? I'm not going to show you. I won't look at you the way she looks at me.”

“Then I'm the asshole,” I smile at his boldness.

“A look of wonder. Her exaggerated shyness when she's with me. The constant redness of her face.”

“Isn't it because she's a shy person?”

“But she acts more naturally when she's with you and Carla.”

“I haven't noticed yet. And you?”

“What about me?”

“Are you finally going to admit you're in love with her?”

“I am not.”

“What are you afraid of? Just because she isn't the kind of girl you used to date?”

“It never crossed my mind.”

“An accident does not completely change a person. I know the fame you had. You're ashamed to admit your feelings for Elle.”

“Don't come play my aunt. You are not a shrink.”

“But I am a good observer. The guys at school may not be interested in Elle, but the guys from outside may. When she shows up with someone, you cannot regret.”

It was late afternoon when I decided to take my anger out on my guitar. A gift I got from my dad to replace my old piano. It had been a while since I played.
