OMG! Guys we're almost through!
This story was a pain to write but I'm finally finishing it! Next chapter should have a very fulfilling ending as well as some other stuff
This is actually the second part of the previous chapter, in Arthur's book at least, which means it has the same title
7. The book week
Lovino and Feliciano Vargas turned out to be a rather amusing duo, Lovino was the stubborn and hot tempered big brother and Feliciano was the coward and almost idiotic [i] little brother, I started talking to them more frequently as they went to a nearby school and liked walking with Camila, and since she had suddenly decided to pick me up I got to talk with them a lot, or rather with Feliciano as Lovino and Camila seemed to be on their own world most of the time, by the bits of conversations I caught, unintentionally of course [ii], I could see why Camila liked him, they had a lot in common and Feliciano had commented a couple times that his fratello, which I hope means what I think it does, acted a lot nicer with her, which I learned to be true a while later. Here is where the story starts getting to a more present time, because during the week after meeting the Italian brothers I went through one of the best spent moments in my life, something I like to call: 'The book week'
It started on a cloudy monday, a fitting image according to Camila, when we stayed pass school hours on the library and the subject of specialties came out, Camila said that we were in the point where not knowing it would be ridiculous.
"So, what is your speciality?" asked Camila
"Literature" I answered
She smiled amused and I scowled
"Well, how about you, what's your specialty?" I asked annoyed
She smirked and leaned in the table resting her head in her intertwined hands
"I, my dearest writer, am a translator, hence my specialty is Languages" said Camila
"I'm not a writer" I said
"That's something we have to find out, isn't it?" asked Camila smiling
It was challenge, one of HER challenges, which meant that there was no way she'll let me back down and if I tried to stop she would push me further. However the beauty of our friendship is that I'm to stubborn to ignore a challenge, my pride wouldn't let me, specially when it comes from my best friend
So Camila started teaching me the art of writing, being a fan of reading and one to spend most of the time in our school's library, or rather in distant worlds, she knew everything there is to know about what makes a book good. As you can probably see, she went as far as to convince me of publishing my first book, she helped me with it, it's amazing what a great memory she has. Now this book wasn't going to be a story book, she told me to be natural, to only write what I believed was necessary, so I did, I spent most part of the week writing and correcting, such an even in my life had to be added to this. I wasn't even though half of this story when Feliciano came with a breathtaking news...
An editor from an editorial that I adored had met the Italian by chance, and having heard all about my book from Camila, Feliciano decided to help out, god bless him. I met the woman shortly after and finished what Feliciano had started with the help of my supporting squad of one person [iii], the woman instantly fell in love with the idea and decided to publish it once it was done, she gave me an address and told me to send it there with my name on it, I was speechless, once she left the place Camila jumped to me
"You've made it!" said Camila
I smiled, never had i been so happy, then I turned arround and hugged the Argentinian back which surprised her a little, then I turned to Feliciano with the biggest smile I could master
"You, are the most amazing person I've ever met, I can't thank you enough" I said
"It's not a problem" said Feliciano beaming
And in that moment I knew that I had lost, I had fallen completely, I felt my heart quicken its peace and the heat go to my checks, thankfully Camila took me by the hands and started spinning me arround before I could make a fool of myself, and then I decided that I would deal with this later and for once enjoy something. However I made a mental note to talk this with my emotional guide, also known as the girl that's spinning me arround and laughing, I couldn't help but laugh as well
[i] Almost?
