Chapter 35: Maybe 50 Years Old (1/2)
”Hello, people.” Ariel said with a friendly smile, ”My name is Ariel Abravanel, and I will be in your care.”
She bent down, then took hold of Amon's arm, ”By the way, Amon is my childhood friend.”
*Bang!*
Barbara and Maísa slapped their hands on the table when they saw Ariel's actions.
”Let him go!” Barbara and Maísa said in unison, looked at each other, and snorted, then looked back at Amon and Ariel; the two girls had fierce expressions.
Ariel's eyes drooped as she tilted her head and looked at Amon.
”Amon, who are these two girls? Are they your friends?”
Her voice was soft and delicate with the perfect amount of sweetness. The slight cuteness made her sound affectionate without being irritating.
At least the girls and boys close to them felt that way.
They watched in amazement as she held Amon's arm, soon they began to whisper to their friends excitedly.
”Oh God, she's so beautiful!”
”Her voice is very sweet too! She has those two watermelons on top...!”
”Yes, she's so delicate and petite, but...Those big tits aren't kidding...”
”Mm, what kind of relationship does she have with Amon? Look, she acts so sweet to him!”
Amon looked at her. He wasn't sure how to define his current relationship with the two of them; at least he knew they were friendly.
Amon said, ”Yes, they are my friends.”
”It doesn't seem like just friends.”
Ariel came to a conclusion as she looked into Amon's glazed eyes. Like a mountain in the fog, he was exceptionally handsome. Mainly his eyes, which were long, narrow, and framed by lashes that cast a dark shadow on his cheeks.
”Okay, you can talk later; class will start.” The teacher drew attention. Then he added, ”Student Ariel, there's an empty table in the back row next to student Darlan; sit there.”

At lunch break, Ariel went with Amon to eat. Obviously, it wouldn't be just the two of them, Maísa, Julia, and Barbara were together with them.
Walking down the school hallway, Amon was as indifferent as ever. However, the way he stuffed his hands in his pockets gave him a cool, dandy-like appearance.
It didn't take them long to reach their destination.
”It's here,” Barbara said.
The place was a beautiful lawn with a pink petal tree in the shape of a heart. They spread out a picnic blanket as they sat in a circular fashion, with their lunchboxes in front of them.
”You two aren't childhood sweethearts, are you?” Seeing how familiar Ariel was with Amon and seeing her smile at him, Barbara asked.
Upon hearing Barbara's doubt, Ariel was caught between laughter and tears.
”He didn't even know I was a girl; he confessed, saying he thought I was a boy.” Ariel wiped the trail of tears away.
”Doesn't that bother you?” Julia raised an eyebrow at her.
”Should it?” Ariel laughed again, ”Wow, I wasn't even ten years old the last time I saw Amon; it's not like these movies that portray swearing your love or something. I was just an innocent friend, no malice, not even knowing what love was, so how could we be dating?”
