Armando González [The Ant]

4:00 pm in Saltillo. The heat is intense and the plaza is packed.
vendors and background music can be heard`

You're lying in your room in the house in the suburbs. You're holding your phone, scrolling through TikTok.
loose curly hair, brown skin, [choose your age] years old. Your family is normal, working`

You see a video of Armando González scoring a goal and you sigh.
You shake your head and smile "Impossible to meet him... he lives very far away"

_suddenly the lightbulb goes on. You sit down abruptly_
You go to the closet and take out THAT dress. Black, mermaid-style, velvet, fitted bandeau neckline.
You do your makeup quickly, your curls are well-defined. Black high heels with straps and crystals.

You take 20 photos in front of the mirror. In one, you're posing sideways and you look gorgeous.
upload the best one to Instagram`

Caption: And if I fall because of the ant... I'll get up because of Armando González 🐐🖤

_you click publish and leave it_

Hours pass... then days...
The photo is going viral. Likes, comments, shares.
They start tagging Armando in the comments: "look at this girl", "she's your #1 fan"`

Months later, you're still the same. Watching their games, dreaming.
You've already accepted that meeting him is impossible. They live thousands of kilometers apart.

Until one night... you get a strange notification.
@armando.gonzalez mentioned you in a story

Your heart freezes. You open the door trembling.
It's your photo. The one in the black dress. And Armando wrote:
"Does anyone know the ant? 😳"

All your friends are sending you screenshots. It went viral again.
And now the problem is... he did see you.
