Chapter 50 Open Heart

• "Did you think I would fall in love with one of them... that I would be so foolish?" I ask, not so much to reproach him for his actions... but to understand what was going through his mind at that time. He opens his eyes in an expression of astonishment, and his mouth hangs open in a grimace.
• "No, no, nooo! Never! I knew... you would never like guys like them... you have always been kind and sweet, and they were the worst of the worst... But they were popular, the special boys of the school... it was difficult to deal with them, and they had the support of the school to get away with it," he explains.
• "So, you thought I would just let myself be pressured by them? Just because I was an unpopular girl?" I say, and he approaches me, anguished, desperate to make me understand. Without me avoiding it, he takes my hand and places it on his chest, feeling his heart pounding desperately.
