perception about the game, Eros found out the perfect strategy to play.
    He grabbed the basketball several times.
    It was amazing how quick he could move in the court.
    We could see only his shadow running; no one could stop him, not even the best player… ‘Christian’.
    The supporters changed their idol. They commenced shouting loud Eros’ name, on the contrary to Christian.
    Christian was furious. No one had ever detracted him on the basketball court.
    Mirta sat back next to me. She was upset due to Christian’s defeat.
    Unlike me, I was bursting into joy, watching Eros crushing Christian on the court.
    The game ended with the effusive victory of Eros’ team.
    “ That’s beginner’s luck!” Christian told Eros, when he left the court, dropping the ball madly.
    Eros noticed he was glowing with indignation.
    “ I have never seen anyone playing like that!” one of Christian’s teammate vehemently said.
    “ Shut up!” Christian shouted.
    I tried to talk to Eros while all players were leaving the court.
    Eros turned back to get his stuff.
    He was bent when I approached him.
    “ How did you do that?” I asked and opened up my eyes in surprise.
    He turned to look at me as he was arranging his books.
    “ I don’t even know”, he said, and his voice was aloof.
    “ You moved so fast! You dominated the game!” I exclaimed, staring at the court.
    “ Christian didn’t like it.” he commented.
    “ He’s not used to being defeated.” I affirmed.
    “ He’s a jerk.” He finally smiled.
    Mirta come to me in silence as she was upset.
    “ I’m leaving…Are you staying here?” she asked and acted as if Eros didn’t exist.
    “ I am going home, too…” I told her.
    Eros frowned and stared at Mirta, at the way she acted before him, while she was very anxious and left us behind.
    “ See you tomorrow.” I said as I was walking.
    “ Okay”, he agreed and stood still.
     

CHAPTER 14
     
     
     
    The next day, I was astonished.
    The main topic at school was about just one person, that is, Eros.
    All around we heard comments on how amazingly Eros had played.
    Everybody was delighted about him, mainly the girls…
    As soon as he arrived at school, everyone was looking at him while he came walking slowly, lonely, only holding his books.
    He noticed everyone was admiring him. The girls tried to approach him. However, he stepped back, avoiding them to touch him.
    Christian was angry again; Eros was detracting other skill from him.
    F irst, he used to be the ‘best player in court’. And secondly, “the most attractive guy in school”.
    When Eros avoided the girls that was an open door for Christian to distil his poison on him and make awful jokes.
    “ I think he doesn’t like girls!” Christian mocked.
    Eros gazed at him, frigidly.
    Mirta and I were watching everything from afar.
    “ What did you say?” Eros asked, staring at him.
    “ I said you don’t like girls!” he repeated, looking straight at him with his ugly face.
    I realized Christian wanted to pick a quarrel with Eros.
    “ He is completely ridiculous!” I said as I hated Christian’s behavior. I walked away quickly, and I got sickened due to that stupid tumult.
    “ I won’t take into consideration what you have just said.”
    Eros said and he seemed unconcerned about that situation.
    “ That’s a compliment for you”, Christian insisted and chuckled.
    Eros went away politely, avoiding troubles.
    T he students got disappointed with his attitude, he being humiliated by Christian before everybody and acting like that.
    T he teacher was explaining chemistry to the class. Everyone was too interested on listening to his explanation.
    Until Mirta saw a drop of blood on her notebook, she raised one of her hands and touched her nose.
    Soon she noticed she was bleeding.
    “ My nose is bleeding!” she said, nervously. “Sometimes this happens.”
    When Eros noticed a fresh blood smell coming from Mirta, he stood up and stepped out the
