After classes I did the routine almost every day I stayed at Lili's house and apart from homework we also practiced both, her progress was good when she was calm, I asked her with the help of her back guard to help her, I told her what techniques to use and from there with some effort she managed to knock him down.
I smiled to see her achievements and after a big bath Lili took me by surprise with her questions about Elias, I didn't want to show her my 'I knew you were up to something' face, but I agreed because I wanted to hear what she was going to tell me and ask, I saw her playing with the cell phone but I didn't even stop her.
Her questions started well but when she asked, "Do you hate Elias? my gesture must have been very funny because Lili laughed for a while and after a long pause I told her
Andrea: first of all I don't hate him, he makes me uncomfortable, I feel that sometimes he sees me as a little girl who doesn't know how to defend herself -calm pause- but in part he calms me down, because if those guys try to hurt you again he can cover my back or put you in a safe place.
Lili: oh! -snicker smile- So you like him?
Andrea: don't misinterpret things Lili, I see him as a wild card, but I still don't completely trust him.
And before she continued I decided to end the interrogation, I saw her smile and accept and then copy in her cell phone, I didn't stop that and decided to dry my hair and from there watch TV and then sleep. With the arrival of Monday I woke up early and left her for a while to say good morning to the sun, in Lili's house they didn't say a peep to me, but they were grateful for 2 things.
The first one was that I was her friend and accepted her as she is and the second one was that I taught her defense, everyone was discreet about it and I thanked them, after breakfast I went home calmly, but when I passed by the market I decided to buy some things and go home.
I arrived and Marcela left me a note, so I decided to go and visit a neighbor until I heard
Mrs. Claudia: oh god, oh god .... There are some kids over there who are not from here and they are beating a boy to death.
Mr. Román: Like this woman, if you are going to tell the gossip, tell it well.
Andrea: First, calm down, both of you, and second, what is going on?
After hearing the detail that a "Chino" was being beaten by several men, I asked them to tell Kindi, if it was something about gangs maybe he knew them, partly I was worried because Marcela always takes that route, I decided to run and hurry the pace.
When I arrived just as Mrs. Claudia had said, they were boys from outside and the one who hit was nothing more and nothing less than Elias, I had many doubts but I decided to forget them and then ask, logically the others were scared.
I recognized some of them and spoke to them in a firm way but hearing him say "stupid blonde" that touched my pride and limit some techniques and although I wanted to liquidate them I decided to leave them a little hurt, after telling Elias who saves who? I saw him look away, I knew that made him feel bad and reminded me of myself.
Kindi arrived wearing a long sleeveless orange shirt and black Bermuda shorts, he was 6'3", his family was from Curaçao although his mother was from the Dominican Republic, that mix was interesting since his eyes were light green, but when I heard what he said to Emilio and the others my face was anything but happy.
I saw him leave and the others run as fast as they could, I approached Elias again and while stretching my hand I told him: come and heal your wounds, but you owe me explanations and he did not accept half explanations.
