Hello again...
What a slow month of March, don't you think? ... but for me it's been a bit fast since I'm always on the go with my home and mother obligations but as I always tell you in the early mornings I'm writing to relax or reading FanFictions that I like, even leaving reviews.
Without anything else to say I'll let you enjoy the chapter once again thanks for your understanding I thank you from the bottom of my heart now I'm going to sleep before my baby wakes up.
The exams and the search for the drug dealer begin.
The weekend was over and instead of a beautiful full moon with stars, a beautiful sun with clouds illuminated Blu Sky High School where several students were entering classes to start the week or rather the last exams of this school year.
The first year teenagers who would soon go from freshmen to experts in school activities. Some were looking nervous or sipping coffee while reading a book, others were reviewing what they had learned for the rest of the year either mentally or reading as they walked to the school entrance. The mid-year teenagers behaved quietly or rather normally, just like any other high school kid, teasing or laughing at any nonsense that came their way, as they were ready to make it through the school year.
But the students who were about to finish high school were more focused on their goal "To pass their last exam to get the degree that would take them to university" many already knew the subject of studies and simply entered the institute confident in themselves to pass their last high school exam some were nervous but not as nervous as the new students who in a month will pass to second grade.
The school bus parked in front of the school and several teenagers of different ages got off the bus. Lila got off the bus wearing the jacket that RDJ had lent her the day of her date and seeing with a big smile her new blue and yellow boyfriend waiting for her at the entrance of the school, no one paid attention to Lila's presence until she reached RDJ and took his hand to enter the school together.
"So what do you say, are you coming or not?". Sofia the Cardinal was talking to Lilian who was in the hallway putting away some books, but as she closed her locker she saw something that shocked her.
"What... What's wrong?" Sofia asked and looked over to where her friend was looking to see RDJ with Lila.
Both macaws were walking down the halls holding hands being the center of attention of several mainly female students. Both Lila and RDJ noticed but didn't take it seriously as they were happy to make their relationship official in front of the whole school.
"I'm telling you, man, that movie is so good," Alejandro said to his friend David as he drank water from the trough.
"I'd rather watch an action movie than a documentary," David replied as he finished drinking his water.
"But I want to see...". Alejandro didn't finish speaking because he saw his friend RDJ with the girl he knew from swimming "David, look."
"What's up conti...". David was startled to see RDJ with the lilac blue girl by the hand.
"Hey guys, good morning" greeted RDJ to his friends.
"Hello again guys" greeted Lila in a friendly voice.
"Do any of you guys have any more goggles for swim class?" "Mine are broken" asked RDJ.
"Ammm... no" replied both teens.
"Well I'll see how I manage to get some before the swim meet" replied RDJ.
"In five days is the competition, hopefully we will win first place" Alejandro imagined himself winning a medal.
"We will do well, we have practiced a lot and I am sure we will win," RDJ replied.
"I heard that Lila will do the last swim" David confessed "the coach talked it over with one of the teachers".
"Woo... really" Lila was surprised.
"Well, you're the fastest of the four of us" replied RDJ in a sweet voice, causing his girlfriend to blush.
"Thanks honey, I'm actually excited about the competition" replied Lila with a bit of excitement.
"Well, see you in the classroom," RDJ said goodbye to her friends and led Lila back to her classroom, holding her hand again.
"That's amazing... our friend has a girlfriend" Alejandro was happy with his friend's news.
"Ha... he beat you and you were bragging to him that you would be the first to have a girl" David replied in a mocking voice.
"Hey, we Ylians can conquer any girl, many women love submissive men" answered Alejandro proudly "like that girl with the strong arm you talked to".
"I already told you I don't like Jaqui" repeated David but this time he was a little nervous.
"And who said it was Jaqui, any girl can have a strong arm like Sofi who the only good thing she has are the...".
"She has to..." interrupted Sofia seriously being accompanied by Lillian.
"Nothing... nothing..." answered Alejandro with a little fear to avoid being hit by the cardinal "how was your weekend".
"Hey you won't believe it but RDJ and the feathered Lila are boyfriend and girlfriend" confessed David animatedly.
"Yes we know" replied Sofia "the jacket Lila is wearing says it all".
"Why would she want to wear a guy's jacket?" asked Lillian.
"When a boy offers you his jacket, either because you are very cold or because it is night time, it is a token of appreciation or rather a sign that he would give anything for you" replied Sofia looking at RDJ as she said goodbye to Lila at the entrance to her classroom.
"Wow...really" David was curious about what Sofi was saying and so was Lillian.
"The guy who considers you a friend would tease you for being cold and then offer you his jacket but the real guy in love offers you the jacket no matter what because he would give everything for you since he feels a connection with you" Sofia replied looking at Lila as she handed the jacket to RDJ and he handed it back looking at her lovingly.
"What if he just offers me his jacket without showing any feelings" Lillian asked this time.
"You'll see if it's a real connection, at least that's what my mom told me" replied the cardinal.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the special classroom for disabled and sick teenagers, Tomada was with Jenny and her friends from the special group watching a video on her cell phone in which Rio's most famous reporter summarized what happened in the country's most famous theater.
Reporter
No one expected a blind girl to end up winning the country's national singing contest... it's as if they had relived the video of Lionel Richie when he hired a blind girl for his song Hello.
(The scene where Jenny sings and the audience applauds excitedly is shown).
The whole country will see Jennifer Corona singing the national anthem at the Maracana stadium for the friendly match between Brazil and Argentina.
(Jenny is seen in the middle of the stage receiving flowers from her teammates and they hug her).
"Wow... you were amazing Jenny, I would have loved to see you sing" said Angel the toucan with down syndrome.
"You are such a star, I don't know how you could have forced your voice," agreed Jaqui.
"Thanks guys, I really didn't think I would make it" thanked Jenny blushing "so what do you think, should I participate for the school's mother's day festival?".
"You have to participate, if that Roberto guy asked you to come it's because he liked your voice," Tiny replied.
"And if I don't manage to convince him at the auditions."
"You'll do well, believe me, you've already achieved another one of your dreams with your songs" Tomada encouraged her friend.
"Guys, I need you to come today, I'm going to start class early" said teacher Sol to her students "Jaqui, you won't have to see me today, I'll be a little busy".
"See you tomorrow in the office" Jaqui said to the teacher and the rest of the boys went into the private room they had but before Tomada left Jenny hugged him to talk to him alone since she couldn't talk to him after the contest.
"Tom... I wanted to apologize to you" apologized Jenny in a pitiful voice.
"Excuse me, but why?"
"My jealousy and my demands made you forget about Sorrel... I didn't want you to cancel your date by coming to see me" Jenny lowered her eyes showing a bit of sadness.
"I didn't cancel my date with Sorrel" Tomada clarified in a cheerful voice "if it wasn't for you and your song I wouldn't have dared to confess my feelings to Sorrel."
"Sorrel went to the theater with you?" the blind macaw was surprised by what happened.
"Actually he went to see Eva and we arranged to meet at the theater and then we had our date" the peregrine falcon blushed a little as he remembered how his confession went.
"And how was it?"
"Great at first I was nervous but in the end I got it, I told her I liked her and she agreed to be my girlfriend."
"Ayyy... how wonderful, congratulations" Jenny couldn't help but hug her friend and he didn't hesitate to hug her back "hey... ammm... now that Sorrel is your girlfriend, I guess you won't be coming to the group anymore".
"Just because I have a girlfriend doesn't mean we won't be friends anymore, besides Sorrel likes you and trusts you more than any other woman that crosses my path" Tomada breaks the hug.
"Speaking of trust, didn't it make you think about what Charlie said to us?" Jenny remembered the words of her mute cockatoo friend.
"About drug trafficking... Nah... you know how Charlie is, he likes to make jokes and those jokes are bad and you know it" replied Tomada in a calm voice.
"Yes I know but... Javier and Raquel haven't been here since Jaqui and RDJ's party" Jenny reminded as she hugged RDJ and could feel his muscular chest.
"Have you heard from them?"
"Raquel was hospitalized yesterday they released her, my mom talked to Raquel's mom but she sounded a little worried" replied the yellow macaw.
"Come to think of it, they didn't come to class today either" she looked around "Charlie hasn't shown up either."
"Do you think he was telling the truth Charles?". Jenny looks around "because I didn't even hear Javier come in with his chair".
"I doubt it and Javier probably went for his monthly orthopedic checkups and Raquel must be recovering from whatever she got sick with."
"You better say hello to your girlfriend" Jenny ordered because she heard from far away Sorrel talking and walking footsteps towards her and her friend.
"Hey guys, good morning," Sorrel greeted and leaned over to give Tomada a kiss on the beak.
"By the way Jenny congratulations on winning the singing contest" Sorrel congratulated the blind macaw.
"Thanks Sorrel, I still can't believe it" replied Jenny blushing.
"I'll see you on TV when you sing the national anthem at the Maracana".
"Same goes for your new relationship with Tomada, I knew you two would end up together" even though Jenny couldn't see them she could feel in her mind her hawk friend holding Sorrel's hand.
"Well we'd better get going, in five minutes classes start today are the last exams" said Tomada goodbye to her blind friend.
"Good luck with that guys, see you later" Jenny said goodbye to her friends and walked into the private hallway.
"I still can't believe Jenny won" confessed Sorrel as she watched Jenny walk quietly.
"And I still can't believe we're boyfriend and girlfriend" replied Tomada giving his new girlfriend a kiss on the beak "you want me to carry your purse my sweet lady."
"Very good, my sweet strong hawk" Sorrel hands the bag to her boyfriend and takes it away like a gentleman drawing the attention of several students as a predator and a macaw were sweethearts because they were still holding hands.
(A scene from the Among Us video game shows a crew member disguised as Cardinal walking through the corridors of the ship he was embarked on).
"Let's go... Let's go... Ahhh..." repeated Pedro controlling his between us, cardinal "fuck, the impostor has checked the light system!".
(The lights go out and suddenly another one appears among us, pink but with a salmon-colored beak).
"Will you shut up, you won't let me concentrate?" ordered Kipo controlling his between us pink and walked behind the cardinal.
"Kipo stop following me!" ordered Pedro in an annoyed voice as he reached the electrical room and performed one of his tasks.
"I'm scared" replied Kipo "I don't want to get killed" he walked away from the place.
"I'm thinking you're the imposter".
(Pedro finishes fixing the wires and starts walking but out of nowhere a blue among us with red feathers on his head crosses the path and kills Pedro with a knife).
Here we see no more scenes from the video game.
"What the hell... this is a bad joke!". Pedro gets angry when he sees that he has been killed in the video game he was playing with Kipo, Nathaniel, Roberto, Jerry, Rafael and other guys online.
"Hey we said not to complain" repeats Jerry concentrating on his game.
"Damn bird, you're going to pay for this," the cardinal cursed again and went back to playing.
"I think everyone is against you Peter" Nathaniel mocked his friend and turned his gaze back to the video game and found a among us light blue with wavy feathers on his head and on top of the crewman his name was Skyler.
"Whoever the imposter is, he has done us a favor" agreed Raphael eliciting laughter from the others.
"Fuck you Rafi with that beak you look like you have a...".
"Hey will you guys shut up I'm trying to study!" ordered Jewel in a firm voice studying with Blu a few minutes before the exam "so that was the answer" look at the blue male sitting next to her.
"Yes that was it...and now you're ready, it's been a very hard week and a lot of studying" replied Blu closing his book.
"I hope I don't forget anything when I look at the questions" sighed Jewel nervous about the exams.
"You'll do fine believe me you just have to concentrate like I taught you" encouraged Blu to Jewel quietly so no one would hear them.
"Hey... I... ammm... thanks for helping me all week and for your study tips" Jewel looks at Blu quietly but inside she was looking at him with love.
"You'll do great, you'll see, I'm sure you'll make it through the semester" Blu put his foot on Jewel's as a token of affection.
"Roberto is the impostor, Roberto is the impostor!" shouted Pedro without stopping playing his video game.
"Guys it's me!...we're on to something important!" this time Blu shouted annoyed but no one paid attention to him.
"I hope I don't repeat the year I don't know what my father will do if... I..." Jewel didn't finish speaking because Blu interrupted her.
"I have faith in you" Blu pressed his pinky against Jewel's and spoke softly "you can do it honey, you're so smart."
"If no one was around right now I would kiss you, but Peter's screams save me from being able to talk to you even a little bit" Jewel crosses her foot with Blu's and blushes "you're so sweet and that's why I love you Bluey".
"And I you Jewie...I just want to get this over with once and for all" confessed Blu.
"So you can get out?"
"Yeah but this hiding thing I don't like" Blu looks Jewel straight in the face.
"I already told you my cousin might rat me out and that person who has me threatened" Jewel tries not to get mad at her secret boyfriend "when the year is over my dad will stop watching me and we can go out together without anyone stopping me"
"You've been saying that all week it seems like you care more about that person than your cousin ratting you out. Please tell me who it is, I want to help you with your problem honey".
"But I don't want you to get hurt" Jewel wanted so badly to hold Blu's hand but was reluctant to do so.
"I don't care I can take all the blows for you as long as I can see you happy" Blu also wanted to take his secret girlfriend's hand but he resisted.
"It's ok... her name is..."
"Blu could you lend me your..." Jaqui saw that they were acting a little weird "ammm... Did I come at a bad time?"
"Yes, we are studying," Jewel replied in a serious voice.
"Relax Jewel it will only take a moment" Blu calmed Jewel "What did you need Jaqui?".
"I wanted to know if I could borrow your calculator" asked Jaqui in a kind voice.
"Oh... yeah sure" she pulls her calculator out of her backpack and hands it to Jaqui.
"I'll give it to you when I finish my homework and thank you Bluey" thanked Jaqui and left the place.
"Bluey?" Jewel was surprised to hear Jaqui call her boyfriend by the same nickname she gave him "since when does he call you that?" she tries not to get mad in front of the others.
"He's been calling me that since weeks ago when we talked after Martin's party" Blu confessed in an innocent voice but Jewel felt a little jealous.
"It looked like he was trying to hit on you" Jewel didn't change her mind but tried to disguise it for the others "I saw it in his eyes."
"I don't think so but I think he knows about us" Blu confessed looking at Jaqui doing some calculations sitting next to Lila and her other friends "I think he heard us the day we locked ourselves in the closet in chemistry class."
"Why do you say that?" asked Jewel as it was impossible for her to let Jaqui know what they were doing in secret.
"Then he took me to his house and we kissed again before my parents opened me up" Lila talked to Martin, Brisa, Dayana and Jaqui about her date with RDJ "and I was about to give him his jacket but he told me to leave return it… to school"
"And why didn't you give it to him?" asked Brisa, the white heron
"She told me to put it on in case she was cold" Lila shows off RDJ's black jacket
"Aaaay... that RDJ is a true romeo Lila" Martín confessed with a sweet voice "she's giving you her heart and soul through her jacket" smells RDJ's jacket "mmmm... yes.. It smells like a rich man"
"¡Martin stop acting like a dog in heat!" Lila pushes Martin but he laughs at what he did
"Congratulations Lila, you are with the sexiest male in school" Dayana congratulated the blue female
"I envy you friend, that chocolate is difficult to consume" Brisa agreed with a flirtatious voice
Lila saw that her best friend didn't say anything about her new relationship. Jaqui was more focused on her homework than she was, barely listening to the talk or at least that's what Lila saw
"Jaqui... did you hear something I said" Lila asked looking at Jaqui still distracted
"Yes, I listened to you" answered Jaqui finishing her homework "I see that you are very happy" she closes her notebook
"Of course I am. RDJ is the first boy I like" Lila answered with a lot of emotion
"Are you sure?" Jaqui asked with a bit of seriousness and that made the other girls and Martin move away from the place a bit.
"Why do you say that?"
"Well before you used to mention Nico a lot since he was humiliated in public and when he started acting weird and when he started tutoring Nigel you worried about him. Now you fight with him and keep mentioning him even though he sent you to hell" Jaqui looks at Lila.
"Well I won't do it anymore and in case you don't know, I also sent him to hell" replied Lila being a little upset about what her best friend said "he intervened in my date".
"Well according to the sophomore boys they say Coral broke up with her boyfriend the virgin and traded him for a muscular blue and yellow macaw freshman."
"The sophomores will make up any gossip and if that's the case I don't care if Nico and his girlfriend disappear for me that's fine."
"Are you sure about what you want?" Jaqui asked again.
"Jaqui I don't tell you how to live your life let alone meddle in your life" Lila got tired of so many questions from her friend.
"Okay, but then don't complain" Jaqui got up from her seat and left the classroom walking down the hallway toward the lockers, but realized she had her left shoelace untied.
"Why does it always have to be the left one?" like a little girl Jaqui knelt down to tie her shoelaces unaware that a certain Panamanian macaw tripped over her because she was looking at her cell phone.
"Hey watch where you're walking you piece of mi... oh...hi David" greeted Jaqui changing his tone of voice.
"Ahhh!...h-hello ... Oh God, not again!" David got up from the floor and leaned against the wall "You're not going to hit me again are you?".
"Ammm... no but you almost fell on me anyway" replied Jaqui.
"Sorry, I was playing between us with some guys and I...".
Jaqui sees the macaw's cell phone lying on the ground and gives it to him. David accepts it but for some strange reason he didn't know what to say, he just saw Jaqui tying his shoelaces and got up to open his locker.
David got up from the floor but instead of going on his way and continuing with the game he stared at Jaqui's violet eyes with a bit of discretion but she didn't pay attention to him until she closed her locker and saw him lost again.
"You must be nervous about today's exams, right?" asked Jaqui.
"Yeah...I'm a little nervous you know elementary school is not the same as high school" replied David getting up from the floor and turning off his cell phone.
"Yeah that's what my mom says" replied Jaqui closing her locker "I just hope I don't repeat a grade".
"So how was the weekend?" David asked.
"I'd be lying to you if I told you it went well."
"Oh... I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you with...".
"Don't worry Panamanian, I'm not mad, I'll just tell you it's not as much fun shopping with a mother who complains about everything" Jaqui remembered another of her fights with her mother.
"And how do you know I'm Panamanian?". David was surprised that Jaqui recognized his Panamanian accent.
"Your friend Alejandro called you that the day of the task force party, plus your accent gives it all away."
"Well, in my class they call me Panamanian, but you're the first one to call me by my name," David confessed.
(Bell rings)
"Well see you later David" Jaqui said goodbye to David.
"Hey... ammm..."
"Yeah?" Jaqui turns around.
"I... I like your sneakers" David answers a little shy but at the same time looking at his friend's sneakers.
"Ammm... Thank you and I like your hairstyle" Jaqui thanked him seeing David's hairstyle that looked like that of a military man and left the place.
"Oh... that was stupid" David cursed under his breath and patted his head "but... why did I say that".
"Damn Nath and Panamanian were the imposters" Roberto cursed after seeing that they won the match.
"I told you guys I wasn't and you kicked me out" repeated Kipo.
"Okay guys, turn off your cell phones before I take them away" Miriam ordered entering the classroom and behind her Jaqui entered without being seen by her teacher "I hope you have studied because these are the last exams of your first year of secondary" school" Miriam closed the door and in less than a minute there was a knock on the door
"Teacher Miriam" a female voice spoke outside the classroom and Miriam opened the door to see Nico, Nigel, Gaby and Felipe
"We can enter?" I ask Gaby with a painful voice
"They're late and you know what I think about punctuality" Miriam replied with a serious voice.
"He won't pass again, teacher, but please let us do the exam" Gaby begged since his voice convinced people
"Okay, but you three will have one less point and Nico, I hope you don't disappoint me again" Miriam let them in.
The four teenagers went straight to their seats but Nico looked a little messy from the feathers on his face and looked at Lila out of the corner of his eye in the jacket that RDJ had lent him on the day of their appointment and saw Pedro showing a bit of disappointment to see that his friend had changed
"Okay guys take out a pencil and eraser, separate yourselves from your classmates and no cheating" Miriam pulls the test sheets out of her bag "Blu, Nico, Pablo, Martin, Kimberly, Nathaniel, Sorrel and Ana you will not be taking the test you passed my class with an excellent grade".
"Oh, no way!" Sorrel rejoiced at the news wishing she could hug her boyfriend who was sitting with Martin.
"You're lucky," Eva complimented her friend as she sat down next to her.
"You'll do well on the test it's just sex questions" Sorrel encouraged her friend.
"This is good daddy is going to be so happy, I can already picture myself with that bike I want for my birthday" Kimberly celebrated with Ana who looked at her unhinged "Hey, are you okay?
"Yeah... I'm fine, I just can't believe I passed the class" answered Ana the yellow macaw.
"That makes two of us" replied Kimberly putting her hand on the desk but inadvertently brushed her pinky against Ana's and blushed unintentionally.
"You can leave the classroom and wait for class to end, you can use your cell phones but I don't want you to turn up the volume on those silly videos you upload on that Tik Bird Tok."
"Okey here I leave you" gets up Blu from his seat and says goodbye to Jewel "good luck" (remember the two were sitting together since Blu is Jewel's tutor).
"Hey" Jewel spoke softly and Blu leaned closer to her until he indiscreetly handed her a note "thanks again nerd" with nothing more to say Blu left the place and put the note in his pocket.
"Damn midget, it's just luck you got" Lila cursed under her breath as she watched Nico hang out with the other guys.
"What?" Jaqui listened to her friend talk a little.
"That they've just been lucky" Lila replied with a bit of seriousness.
"It's not luck" replied Nico listening to Lila's conversation, "it's being the smartest and smartest."
"Oh god I don't know which one of us is worse" Peter patted his head seeing his friends fighting again.
"Get lost will you?" asked Lila.
"I wasn't planning on sticking around to see your ugly eggplant feathers" was the last thing Nico said and left the room.
"Alright guys I'm going to start handing out the test don't turn the page until I tell you to" Miriam starts handing out the test.
"At least Sorrel and your boyfriend were saved from taking the exam" Tomada sat down next to Eva.
"Yes... but now we just have to get through the semester" replied Eva getting a little nervous because since her friend Sorrel got attached to the hawk she was never alone with Tomada and they didn't talk much either "by the way congratulations on your relationship with Sorrel".
"Thanks and by the way you sang well in the theater" replied Tomada trying to be fake "I liked the second to last song".
"Thank you Tomada I still can't believe what happened, no offense to your blind friend of course" replied Eva getting more nervous.
"How do you know she's my friend?" asked the hawk playing innocent.
"Well... ammm... You're always with her at the school entrance."
"Or in the city park."
"Hey, I know I didn't make a good impression when we first met but let's put it all behind us for Sorrel" Eva pleaded since she didn't want to talk about it.
"That's the problem, Sorrel thinks you're a good person but you're not."
"I've changed my mind, believe me, after what happened in the theater I want nothing more to do with music and choir."
"Yes... Sure, that's what Rafael said when he promised to talk to you about the kiss" reproached the hawk.
"What kiss?" asked Eva as Miriam put the exam on her desk.
"That your boyfriend is not faithful" Tomada tried to say it all in a few words.
"What do you mean by that?
"Okay, you can start" Miriam ordered and sat back in her chair.
Obeying the teacher's order, they all handed in the paper and began to take the last exam of the first year of high school. But they had just started with the natural science subject and still had other exams to take. Eva was confused by what Tomada had told her and did not pay full attention to the exam.
Meanwhile, in the principal's office were Estela, the school doctor, and two young nurses looking like white hawks whose feathers coordinated with their uniforms.
"We already checked the fourth and fifth graders, none of them have drugs," the doctor replied, "the kids in Soledad's group don't have anything either, except for medically approved drugs."
"Then how come two of the boys were on drugs!?". Chris got upset because they couldn't find the drug addict and banged on his desk "one of the mothers threatened to report me, her daughter was hospitalized and suffers from this disease that I don't know what it's called".
"We'll keep looking after the break."
"No...it has to be now" ordered Chris "keep going with the second and third graders that none of them try to leave the classroom we will wait fifteen minutes after the teachers are done with the first test. Send a message to everyone."
"Okay sir, we'll do it right away" obeyed Estela.
"But this time I'm going with you, I'm not going to risk getting fired and closing the school" Chris left the office with the three nurses.
And we come to the end of the chapter dear readers. The exams have started, RDJ and Lila showed their courtship to the whole school as well as to Tomada and Sorrel, the words that Sofia said about RDJ's jacket I got them from my younger sister because she told me the meaning of when a man in love lends you his jacket so you don't suffer from cold or get wet in the rain, have you ever done that with your partner? If you don't have a partner you would do the same
For the first time Tomada is alone with Eva to talk about the indisputes she made to Jenny, will she tell her the truth about what happened with Rafael? Chris is still looking for the drug dealer, they will find him... your criticisms and comments will be heard (as long as they are related to the story) until the next publication.
