don’t live at that address… I’ve been there and asked the neighborhood about you, and they told me that you have never lived there.”
    “ You don’t want to know where I really live.”
    He said and t he expression in his eyes became him even more distant and mysterious. I felt insecure, and, at the same time, I seemed fascinated by that whole mystery in the air.
    M y duty was to solve it.
    “ Why were you after me?” His face was austere.
    “ I wanted to give this back to you.” I put his books on the table and bit my lip; after all, I was angry. “You left them yesterday, in the classroom.”
    “ You shouldn’t have gone after me yesterday”, he said, looking ahead.
    “ I should!” My anger increased. “So then I was aware you had lied to me.
    “ Do you consider that a lie?” he crossed his arms over his chest and stared into my eyes.
    “ How do you name it?” I was irreducible.
    “ A misunderstanding”, he answered, coolly.
    “ That’s a misunderstanding… your neighbors don’t know they’ve got a neighbor whose name is Eros.” My voice turned up.
    “ I’ve never seen you so angry”, he confessed, and unfolded his arms.
    “ I hate lies!” I stared at him and he could feel the taste of my fury through my eyes.
    “ If I hurt you … I apologize now …”
    “ Lies don’t dissolve with apologies.”
     
    I said and turned my back decided to go away, however, he remained looking at me as I was walking to the reading - room door, without looking back at him.
    I decided not to come back and tell him some other nonsense, which were stick in my craw.
    Eros , for having lain to me, he had destroyed a beautiful feeling which was growing inside of me.
    I decided I wouldn’t stay in school to watch the other two classes. I didn’t want to see him after our conversation.
    I was so overpowered by anger. Then I thought me being far away from him it would be the best solution, at that moment, for all I was feeling.
     
     

 

    CHAPTER 16
     
     
    I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t go back to sleep again.
    As I lay in bed, I tried to calm my nerves, in an attempt to fall asleep again. After many attempts, I didn’t succeed; then I rose from my bed and walked slowly to the window; it still was open.
    As usual, I always slept this way due to the constant visits of that owl.
    I became seasoned to that routine: with it coming to my window almost every night, watching my sleep.
    When it didn’t show up, I always felt weak.
    I looked out the window and sighed.
    Between two trees I saw someone walking quietly, that is, Eros had just come out from nowhere and was standing in my backyard.
    I quickly averted my gaze, but then my eyes were back on him.
    Eros was positioned next to a tree.
    He made gestures to me, calling me.
    Unwittingly, I stepped out of my bedroom and went there.
    I was wearing a long- white night-dress and was barefooted.
    I didn ’t want I could walk away without first talking to him.
    “ What are you doing here?” I asked, with a subtle gleam in my eyes.

    “ How did you find out where I live?” I asked, surprised.

    We remain silent for a moment and then he had broken the silence.
    “ You may think I’m a freak walking in the middle of the night , in someone’s backyard.” He paused. “But I really had to talk to you; I didn’t want you to think I’m a scoundrel.” He said kindly.
    I glanced at him, but he was staring at the floor.
    “ I’m not angry with you.” I confessed.
    “ I don’t want to destroy our friendship and miss you.” He looked at the darkness while I was staring at him. “You’re the nicest person I’ve ever met… and I have nobody, except…you, who’s my best friend.” He took a deep breath and confessed.
    “ I don’t want you
