Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Lúcia did her stretching in the company of her friend Jânio, who chewed the gum and activated the sound buttons.

- So Jân when are you going to build up the courage and declare yourself once and for all to Rafa?

- Did you have to remind me of that this dull Friday morning?

- I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you!

- OK. OK! Get ready that there will be a very good rhythm. Look what I prepared for you to rock the high school contest.

Jânio released the music that pleased Lúcia. She had begun to create a choreography. She sat up with her legs outstretched, took them from side to side. Her arms went in the same direction. She lifted her legs and gave a boost. Standing, she positioned a pelvic thrust, rotated four times and stopped by leaning her body back. She did more poetic poses expressing someone in love. Marcos's hidden gaze watched her through the half-open door, while Jânio admired his friend in her beautiful twirls. Deep down, Marcos was proud of his friend and even more of the beautiful girl she had become. His mind had latched onto her in such a way that he was attracted to her.

In the classroom Rafaela sat in the chair, reached inside the table to get her school diary, but found something else. She strangely saw a cell phone just like hers with a card: ''I think you're a really nice girl. ''I admire you!'' She looked around. She was alone. She gave a smile. She had her Black Berry back. She thought it could have been a feat of the boy who complimented her at break yesterday, she also thought it could have been Janio. Jan? Not. She preferred to go with the first option. She grimaced as she saw Hayden pass in front of the room, a thought crossed her mind and she said again: Noooo!

The geography teacher came in and was not surprised to see the room almost empty as she had attended the meetings about the school's cultural event.

- It seems that most of your colleagues preferred to participate in the contest and you were left alone - She mentioned looking at Rafaela.

- IT IS! They really like to sing and dance.

- And you do not?

- Oh yes, I love it, but this year I didn't feel inspired to hum and roll.

- Humming and rolling? what term? - The teacher rolled her eyes condemning Rafaela's expressiveness, who only gave a rude smile.

- Well, as the theme asks for art, I want you and the rest to reorganize all the places where the great artistic events took place and their respective countries and cities, make a geographic mapping. See how it affected the region where the world's famous great theaters were built and how these works withstood time, earthquakes and storms.

Director Coutinho and his team were euphoric. They ran all over the school organizing preparations for the event. He was checking to see if everything was going well. Tall and chubby, dressed typically like a Frenchman, the ring of small nine gold rubies indicated his fondness for Indian astrology. Naturally as a fish native he had his superstitions, however he seemed not to be afraid of cats as he held one in his arms, and, in black color adorned with a golden necklace with the name Cleo. That he didn't let go of anything. It was his cuddle. He spoke little and directly. Nothing could be out of place. For him, conducting an event of this degree was like relaxing in a SPA.

Stage, spotlights, decoration with Aztec and Inca symbols. Each entrance was guarded by black wooden totems. The court already had a huge stage. All ok for now. But he still wasn't satisfied. He went to the rehearsal room to see if the candidates were really preparing properly.

During the break he gathered the students to announce the date and that this year the presentations will be double. Everyone squeaked. Those who had already signed up would now have to look for a partner and do a new choreography. Lucia felt at the end. ''Start all over again,'' she thought. She looked around looking to see if anyone could be her ideal dance partner. Anything.

When she turned around, she came face to face with Marcos who smiled at her discreetly. Then she turned away pretending she didn't know her. Anger rose in his throat, no, he didn't, no way. Never.

- Janio! -She called.

- Hey!

- Would you pair with me?

- Impossible Lucia.

- Because?

- I'll make your sound, forgot?

- And even. And now? It seems like I'm the only one left.

- Why don't you invite a certain person?

- What? What person?

- Aff... It seems like you don't know who it is, right?

She thought for a while and realized who her friend was talking to.

- No Jân, no, I won't invite him even if the cow coughs.

- This contest will be your only chance to see your father again. Ever wonder?

- I know I know.

After class, Lucia rehearsed for a while. She was sad that she couldn't have a date. Now she would have to plan a new choreography. To her annoyance, Adonis appeared in the room.

- By herself? - He said standing in front of her.

- What you want?

- My revenge.

- What?

- This time you will not run away and from what I see there is no one here to defend you.

"You are a coward," Luci said.

the sighing.

Adonis yanked her roughly by the arm. He caught her waist with his arm.

-How about I be her partner for now huh?

She tried to free herself, but she couldn't. He rubbed himself into her as if he wanted to do a dance step. She struggled to get out. She kneed him and he went down in pain. She ran to reach the door, but he caught her heel causing her to fall.

__ No! - She screamed - but the school seemed empty, because most of the students had already left.

Adonis managed to get on top of her, mobilizing his arms to the floor.

- I had a better idea. Is the ballerina a virgin? – He forced her. "Let's try it." He pressed his hips between her legs and she struggled intensely to get out. Adonis was too strong for her. However, he would fight to the end not to give in.

Hayden entered and pulled Adonis with all his strength off Lucia.

- What are you doing, dude? -She said pushing Adonis against the wall.

- I'm the one asking you idiot. What are you doing? Did you come to the party too?

- No. You can leave Lucia - Hayden said.

Lucia ran and went out the door in anguish.

- I never thought you were capable of doing these things. Fighting is fine, but raping a girl? This is cowardice.

- What got into you, you idiot?

"I'm not going to follow you around and be the goofball who does everything you ask," Hayden said, walking out the door.

Hayden! You're going to pay me you idiot.” He slammed into the wall angrily.
