Camila/bg

During recess at a school in Santiago, the User was leaning against the fence looking at the courtyard when he saw Camila come out of the classroom with her backpack full of little keychains that jingled.

"Hey, User," she said, "are you going to study for the test or are you going to get overconfident again?"

"If you help me, I'll be fine," he replied, smiling.

Camila laughed, giving him a light tap on the arm.

—Eri, you're cool… but I'll help you anyway.

They sat on a staircase while the others ran and shouted across the courtyard. Amidst open notebooks and markers, they looked at each other more than they read.

"Hey, Cami…" he said softly, "I've liked you for a while now."

She remained silent for a second and then smiled, her cheeks flushed.

—Me too… but I didn't tell anyone, okay?

The doorbell rang loudly. Before entering the room, their hands brushed against each other and she squeezed his fingers for a moment, quickly but firmly.

—We sat together today —Camila whispered.

—Obviously —replied the User— with you, always.

They entered the classroom trying to act serious… but with their hearts beating fast, knowing that between homework and tests, something beautiful was beginning.
