When Paula Rouco finished showering, she lay down on the bed and took her tablet aside to browse Twitter for a while.
A good friend, Susana, shared with her the address of an Imperial University school forum, and before she could open the link, Susana made a voice call.
Pick up.
“Paulita did you read my post for you, I really didn’t think Imperial University had such a handsome schoolboy.”
Paula Rouco was not impressed, the guys she had seen since she was a child were top notch, what handsome man hadn’t she seen?
“Is he as handsome as my father?”
Susana, for her part, laughed, “Uncle Adam’s face yes is a god face, but this man of the moment at Imperial University is also a god face, especially since he is handsome and also good at his studies, who technically should not be called a schoolboy, but the first prince of the finance department at Imperial University. ”
Paula Rouco clicked on the post and at a glance saw the picture of the man … she had seen tonight.
Incidentally, she remembered that tonight’s part-time waiter was named Severo Laris, and she slid her finger under the post and saw the name “Severo Laris.”
“I didn’t realize he was also a student at Imperial College. ”
Susana: “Huh, you know him? This former student is a junior at Imperial University, many years behind us. But I heard that he is also in our new campus, so maybe we can see his face on campus.”
Paula Rouco remembered Severo Laris’ arrogance and indifference tonight and brushed her lips, growling softly, “Who cares, my brother will grow up in a few years and won’t be worse than him, okay?”
Susanna laughed out loud, “Yes, yes, yes, yes, little Lucius is my future husband, you are my iron magnet, you must watch your brother for me! Don’t let any of those bitches out there take him away!”.
“…” is bad enough.
If Susanna is really his sister-in-law, it’s going to be a mess for his generation!
“Yes, we have Miss Rouco with Prince Charming Angelo, who is also handsome, except for his poisonous mouth! Seriously, when did you get that white girl Angelo?”
Paula Rouco’s face heated up slightly, “Why do you all think Angelo and I are a couple?
After rambling with Susana, Paula Rouco got under the covers and lay down, tablet in hand, looking at the forum photo and lost in thought.
This photo, obviously a random road shot by other students at school, is the most expensive way to take photos as road shots and snaps.
Now look closely, this Severo Laris looks like he’s really on cloud nine.
And so what if he’s handsome, she’s the one who has seen Paula Rouco the most since she was a kid.
Like her daddy, Uncle Esteban, Uncle Nico, Uncle Matthew, Uncle Eduardo … and her brother, all heavenly handsome.
Heavenly handsome, she doesn’t give a damn.
…
The summer, which passed quickly, was good because military training for new students at Imperial College was not in its first year.
The day before the start of the school year, Adam Rouco and Estrella Berrocal sent their daughter to Imperial to study in person.
Adam Rouco usually spoils Paula Rouco, but he does not pamper her, and now that the university residences are all in good condition, he has not helped Paula Rouco to buy an individual apartment near the university for her to live alone.
Adam Rouco and Estrella Berrocal are not sure about living alone in an apartment, but at least the school is safe.
Also, living in a dormitory allows you to socialize with your peers and not seem so exceptional and out of place.
Mrs. and Mr. Adam drew stares from the girls and their dorm parents when she walked with her daughter into the dorm.
One student ran up to Paula Rouco and offered to greet her, “Hi, how are you, are you Paula Rouco from the second bed?”
Paula Rouco replied with a smile, “Yes, we will be housemates from now on.”
Her roommate whispered in her ear, “Are these your parents? They are so handsome, pretty and young.”
The second bed, on the top bunk.
Estrella Berrocal couldn’t resist asking her daughter, “Paulita, is it really okay for you to sleep in the top bunk? Are you going to fall if you sleep so restlessly?”
Paula Rouco grabbed Estrella Berrocal’s arm and said in a milky voice, “Mom, I’m not three years old, besides there’s a railing, I’m not going to fall.”
Before long, the suitcases and beds were packed.
Paula Rouco followed her mother and father out of the dormitory and familiarized herself with the school.
Walking through the courtyard, Estrella Berrocal couldn’t help but admonish, “Paulita, you just moved from La Ciudad Santa to Imperial, a change of city, remember to call me and your dad if there are any problems.”
Paula Rouco nodded nonchalantly, “Mom, don’t worry about me, worry less about my father, did I ever let you guys worry about me growing up?”
“Just as well. You always know how to do what you’re told.”
Adam Rouco said, “If there’s anything you need nearby, just call Uncle Montrelle and Aunt Claudi and I’ll talk to them.”
“Well, but I don’t want to go to The Vasconcellos family if I have nothing to do, Aunt Claudi is so enthusiastic and treats me like a future daughter-in-law, I’m on tenterhooks.”
Estrella Berrocal couldn’t help herself, “Tonto, Aunt Claudi likes you to be nice to her.”
Adam Rouco seemed to remember something and said, half jokingly, half seriously, “Yes, you shouldn’t bother them, if Montrelle and Claudi have their way, if you don’t marry Angelo, you’ll have problems with me.”
This was said, causing Estrella Berrocal and Paula Rouco to burst out laughing.
…
After lunch, Adam Rouco had business to attend to and it was impossible to stay too long at Imperial.
Adam Rouco and Estrella Berrocal left Imperial shortly after 2:00 pm.
In the afternoon, Susana also arrived at the school and Paula Rouco called Susana and the two met in the schoolyard.
Susana trotted over with her school bag in tow, panting, “I just said goodbye to my parents, these two old men are like two Buddhas, they can’t stay away, they keep buzzing in my ears.”
“Now that mom and dad are gone, we’re both going to be wild horses in the future.”
Susana clenched her fist and bumped it with Paula Rouco: “Off the leash little bronco, now sister I’m buying you a latte!”.
The two were leaving the playground arm in arm when they saw a group of students arguing on the boulevard not far away.
Susana took a good look, “That looks like Severo…. Fuck, he’s even more handsome in person than in his picture!” Paulita, let’s check it out!
Susana passed, dragging Paula Rouco with her, but saw a group of boys blocking Severo Laris’ path.
The boy in the lead, wearing a black Nike gym bag and holding a basketball on his arm, reached out and shoved Severo Laris.
“I said Severo, don’t you watch where you’re walking? You’re stepping on my new limited edition AJ’s.”
Severo Laris doesn’t wimp out with a group of men against one, but is more cool and intimate.
Severo Laris holds a couple of books in his hands, his gaze as cold as if the other man were air.
The boy in the lead was annoyed to the extreme and said angrily, “Severo Laris, I say, you are stepping on my prince’s new slippers!”
Severo Laris said coldly, “What do you want?”
The boy scoffed, “What do I want, I want you to pay for it! Can you pay?”
A few boys behind the main boy, watching Severo Laris’ teasing.
