"It was a week later, the day of Premila's first test, that our lives changed rather abruptly.
I was sitting at the back of my class, in my usual inattentive way, only half listening to the
teacher. I had started a rather guarded friendship with the girl with the braids, whose

i felt like if a train had run over me. i felt miserable. he didn´t even asked me a question nor check on my skills! a pretty face and a perfect body was just as perfect for the position.
