The age of 17 was a hard one for El. She was dealing with some insecurities about the way she looked, her messy, curly and shoulder-sized hair, and mainly, the way Mike looked at her. It’s not like he ever found her ugly or something. She just felt that, whenever she spent more time getting ready, he would look at her with his starry eyes, and when she just woke up and left, he wouldn’t.
She started to look at the other girls and try to find what made them beautiful, and tried to copy. Of course, Mike wasn’t blind. He always realized she was trying to change, and he would stop her, telling how beautiful she was, but she just couldn’t buy it.
Those insecurities kind of made her a little jealous.
On a sunny Friday, they were having the period they hated the most. The only one they had different subjects. She had maths and he would have P.E. When it ended, El just ran to the court to pick him up so they could go to the cinema and watch “Die Hard”, the movie they’ve been expecting for ages.
When she got there, Mike was talking to a Blondde girl who was obviously flirting with him and laughing the louder she could. When she turned her face, El recognized. It was that bitch from her english class that used to make fun of her to dating “frog-face”. But then, puberty happened, and she suddenly finds him so damn funny, what a coincidence!
She was also having P.E. and was wearing the smallest size of uniforms they could ever sell. Her shorts seemed uncomfortably tight and her shirt was showing all of her curves. Shit. She was hot! El looked down to her body and tried to compare. Yeah, that she couldn’t copy.
Already pissed, El started to walk in their direction pretending to rip him away from there, otherwise they would miss the session. She would handle her jealous later with Mike. But, when she came closer, that inconvenient, arrogant, inconsequential, boyfriend thief girl realized it, and jumped into Mike’s arms to hug him.
“Ohhhh, thanks Mikey! You just sabed my life”
When he realized it, gently pulled her away (trying not to hurt her).
“Yeah, sure. I gotta go.”
“Oh, but I need to thank you in some way. Let me take you to lun-”
Suddenly, “something” made her stumble on her own feet, and the second she felt, Mike recognized that kind of incident.
He looked around trying to find his girlfriend, when he saw her wiping tears away and walking out the court.
He ran after her, not even bothering himself to help the girl. When he catches her, grabs her arm.
“Come on El, I was just talking to her!”
“Don’t you dare tell me that!”
She couldn’t hold her tears anymore.
“I’m not crying because you were fucking talking to someone. I’m upset because you were talking to the stupid girl that you know that bullied me, that still it a huge bitch and that is so into you. I’m upset because she is so pretty and hot, and she catches your attention just snapping her fingers. She was flirting with you so hard and you didn’t even tried to stop her. She keeps hanging around with those stupid boobs and her soft hair and all of that stuff and-”
He interrupts her, with a desperate, intense kiss.
“Do you know why I don’t do that to her? Because she is not you,” He tucks a curl behind her ear and hold her hands. “Because no matter how her boobs are, yours are better,” She tried so hard not to laugh in that part.“No matter how her hair is, your is better. No matter the way she looks, your way is better. God, so much better,” he cups her face with his hands. “You have no idea how pretty you are, El. I’m pretty sure I’ the luckiest boy in the hole world to have you. You are beautiful when you wake up, you are beautiful when you are sleeping, you are beautiful even when you’re fighting the upside down,” he tried to say those last words the lowest he could.“You are gorgeous! You are amazing! And… I’m not blind. I know she was flirting with me, and I tried to stop, but she is the tutor from the P.E. classes, and I can’t be rude to her if I want to get aproved, since it turns out I’ve missed a lot of those classes the classes the past weeks!” El knew why. She’ve missed a couple of math classes too. “When I was talking to her, I was just answering a doubt she had about chemistry, and she overreacted, I guess. And of course I know she’ve been a bitch to you. That’s why, when she asked me the answers for the exam on the last trimester, I gabe the wrong answers! And El… I don’t do this to her,” he gave her a soft kiss.“because I love you. Not her. You are the prettiest girl in the entire school, and no other girl will make me take what i just said. I promise.Okay?”
It was like he knew exactly what she needed ti hear.
He kissed the top of her haid and walked to his car holding hands.
“So, I really meant the boobs part, you know? I really like your boobs!”
“Shut up” she said, giggling.
