Normalmente, Laura y yo bailamos toda la noche pero, esa noche, yo estuve con Marcos. Nosotros charlamos por horas mientras andábamos por el lago cerca de su casa. ¿Sabes qué? Me enamoré de él. Después de la fiesta le conté todo a Laura pero ella no me dijo nada. Desde aquella noche, me evita y no quiere hablar conmigo. Me dijo que tiene mucho estrés y que debe concentrarse en su trabajo. Espero que Laura no esté enojada conmigo. ¿Qué opinas tú? ‐Érica
