Engracia turned her head and looked sweetly at Severo Laris, smiling, “Severo, look how considerate another one is, Gaspar, with his girlfriend, you too should learn from your subordinate in this area.”
The words fell on Paula Rouco’s ears, and the food in her mouth, even more, was like chewing wax.
They really are together.
This knowledge, which made Paula Rouco feel bad, she put down the chopsticks and said to Gaspar, “I’m full, and I suddenly remembered that Susana wanted to see me about a thing, so I’ll go first.”
“But you haven’t had a few bites of this food, so you really won’t be hungry in class this afternoon, so why don’t I eat later and get you something to eat in the cafeteria?”
“No, really, I’m not hungry.”
Paula Rouco ran out of the canteen as if she had run away.
…
Friday night, the girls in the dorm were arguing about where to spend the weekend.
Only Paula Rouco, lying in bed, sick and without much life.
When Susana gets into a relationship, she forgets about sex to the point of inhumanity and usually stands Paula Rouco up.
So, this Saturday weekend, she is even more idle to the point of panic.
Buena asked, “Paulita, this Saturday I’m going to a sorority, do you want to come?”.
Rio laughed and said, “Paulita is not going with you, Paulita has Gaspar’s classmates, what’s the point of joining?”.
Analeigh said, “If Paulita was there, would the sorority guys still be interested in you? They’re all asking for Paulita on Facebook, so you’re not going to be there.”
Buena, eating jerky, heard this and immediately said to Paula Rouco, “Then Paulita better not go, you better stay with your high school friend.”
Paula Rouco lifts up the sheets, annoyed.
The phone rang and was picked up.
It was Susana calling: “Paulita, tomorrow we’re going on an autumn excursion!”.
Paula Rouco growled, “Don’t you spend all your time with your slut? Do you still have time for an outing with me?”.
“Look at you, you’re so yin and yang now without Severo Laris!”
“You’re the one with the yin-yang disorder! I’m not going!”
This Saturday weekend, he stays two days at his residence to sleep and clear his head.
Susanna growled, “Are you sure you don’t want to go? Don’t be sorry, I have a big surprise for you too!”.
Susana sold, arousing Paula Rouco’s curiosity, “What’s the surprise?”.
Susana took the opportunity to say, “Go ahead, go ahead, keep me company, okay? You’re my magnet, and it’s no fun to be alone in the residence, so don’t you want to see my playboy?”.
Paula Rouco said nothing.
Susana saw that her attitude had relaxed and continued to tease her, “Are you my good sister? If you’re a good sister, help me keep an eye on you, aren’t you afraid that my sister will get caught by a womanizing carrot?”.
“You’re so afraid of getting shafted and you’re still with a philandering carrot, what’s normal is that you’re guilty of? Cheap.”
“So, are you coming?”
“Since you’ve invited me so sincerely, I’ll reluctantly accompany you.”
…
Severo Laris had just arrived home from the law firm when he received a call from Rufio.
“You’re not doing anything tomorrow, are you?”
“Go to the law firm and follow up on the latest case.”
The S, R, L Law Firm is getting a lot of business since Severo Laris’ exploits hit the Internet, and those clients are flocking to Severo Laris.
Rufio said with disgust, “You work on a Saturday, you’re not afraid to overwork, others are resistant to 996, you’re good, you hate 007, even if you’re a machine, you need to recharge and rest after 24 hours a day.”
“I have my way of resting.”
“…” Rufio was speechless with disgust.
Rufio said nonchalantly, “I … I have recently fallen in love. Tomorrow I’m going on an excursion with my girlfriend, why don’t you come with Lastra, there are a lot of people?”.
Severo Laris said lightly, “Lastra and I won’t be there to act as lightning rods.”
“No, my girlfriend has called a few more girls, so you and Lastra could look for them.”
Severo Laris flatly refused: “I’m not interested.”
Rufio showed his cards, “Paula will be there too.”
Severo Laris’ deep gaze had a dark gleam in it, “You know why you’re never sure you’ll win a case?”
Rufio shuddered at his question, “Why?”
“Because you’re always talking nonsense. I can’t catch the point again.
Rufio: “…”
“Deh, I should have told you when I got this call that the outing was on Saturday and the point was that Paula Rouco was also going.”
Toot toot toot.
The other party hung up.
Rufio: “… Shit, cross the river and take it down!”
Rufio looked at the hung up phone and a calculating look crossed his eyes…. tomorrow he’ll make this Severo Laris guy look good!
Rufio then dialed another number, “Hello, Engracia?”
…
Meet me at 10 a. m. the next day at the south entrance of the school.
Rufio has rented a big van.
Paula Rouco also called Analeigh and Gaspar and they went hiking together.
Susana, who was sitting in the passenger side of the van, glanced at the scene and her eyes were about to sparkle.
In the car, also seated, were Severo Laris and Engracia.
This is not an excursion, it’s a group fight!
Susana slyly twisted Rufio’s thigh and whispered between clenched teeth, “You had enough to call Engracia!”.
“There aren’t many people, besides, I don’t see Severo and Paula opening up, so maybe Engracia is the catalyst!”
Susana gritted her teeth: “I hope so!”.
Rufio opened the car window and called out to Paula Rouco, “Hi Paulita, over here!”.
As soon as the car door opened, Paula Rouco was about to get in when her eyes met Severo Laris.
How Severo Laris ended up in …
Paula Rouco then discovered that Susana’s new boyfriend was Rufio!
Rufio looked back and saw Paula Rouco frozen in the car door and urged, “Why, Paulita, what are you looking at. Severo you too, it’s not that you don’t know Paulita, give me a hand!”.
Severo Laris reached out to shake Paula Rouco’s hand, but she avoided it.
“No, thank you.”
Severo Laris pursed his thin lips and blushed slightly.
Lastra, Gaspar and Severo Laris, seated in the back row.
Analeigh, Engracia and Paula Rouco, seated in the front row.
At first, the atmosphere in the car was quiet.
Rufio looked in the rearview mirror and said with a smile as he drove, “Don’t just stand there, you’re all classmates, you’re getting to know each other.”
Then they started chatting.
Paula Rouco returned the conversation from time to time, but more often she was silent.
Gaspar handed her some small sandwiches, “Paulita, aren’t you feeling well today, why are you sad?”.
Paula Rouco shook her head, “No.”
Engracia smiled and said, “Gaspar’s companions made me very envious with their consideration for Paulita. ”
Paula Rouco’s thinking, “If you like Gaspar so much, why do you keep bothering Severo Laris?
Analeigh came so close to Severo Laris for the first time, like a little fan who knows the god, “Severo, I read all your exploits on Twitter a few days ago, I admire you so much.”
Severo Laris nodded politely and coolly, not showing much expression.
Analeigh also dragged Paula Rouco saying, “Severo, all of us girls in the dorm look up to you, especially Paulita, and we always read about you in the school forums. You are a role model for us.”
Paula Rouco looked at Analeigh with very teary eyes , “Where did I get that from?”.
Severo Laris looked at her awkward, slightly red and twisted expression and, inexplicably, the gloom, lightened greatly.
