—I can not believe it! A ghost appeared!—Achilles said with irony when he saw Sofia at school—Did you get bored with trying your luck looking for swindling the poor shelves?

—What are you saying, insolent brat!—Sofia said, kicking Achilles' crotch.

*Ahhh* Achilles shouted, falling to the ground

—For you to learn!— Sofia said between laughs, looking at the teacher rolling on the floor.

Adam was scared watching the scene, he remembered well the words of his father: 'whatever happens, don't attract attention’ and this was exactly the opposite.

Adam wanted to run away, but that could be worse than not appearing to be a normal kid like Sofia.

—I'm your teacher!—Achilles said as he worked to get up—You're supposed to respect me! I respected you when you were my teacher!

—Yes, but I deserved respect, brat!—Sofia said proudly, throwing the red card above Achilles with contempt.—I didn't miss all classes like you! Or do you think lazy people get to be young again! You'll be just another dying old man if you don't take your job seriously!

Achilles was about to say something, but a giant wooden face emerged from one of the school's walls and looked at the three of them with some hesitation. The face seemed to be that of an old man and his forehead was somewhat wrinkled; it had no mouth and only had one eye with a monocle; the other seemed hollow. With his monocle, he was staring at the three people, as if he had to make a difficult decision.

Sofia, seeing the face, ran and helped the teacher up, while she told him with a very childish voice that she had never used before:

—I'm sorry professor, Achilles. My parents are forcing me to go through the shelves to test their rules, and I guess one affected me; I would never do anything wrong to a teacher as good as you.

The giant wooden face looked with his monocle with even more suspicion at the girl in front of him and a mouth began to appear on his face. Sofía, seeing that, got scared and with a trembling voice she said:

—I… I was forced by another bookshelf… by my parents… I swear… I would never do anything bad to a teacher… I am a girl, a real girl, I am only 12 years old. .. and a long life ahead.

Adam didn't understand Sofia's change in attitude, but it seemed that these two people were quite scared of this giant bookshelf.

Achilles didn't say anything, he seemed to want to say something, but his mouth trembled every time he opened it. When he saw the mouth form, some tears began to fall down his face and he fell to the floor crying.

His mouth finally formed, showing very neat teeth as he said in a very refined voice looking at Sofia:

—You are not a girl, but you study in my hexagon: who do you think you are?!

Sofia burst into tears and fell to her knees on the floor, while she begged between tears:

—Please, Professor Achilles, tell him the truth, I beg you!

Adam looked at this scene somewhat dazed without understanding what was happening, but he felt a little scared to see his teacher and the first girl who had spoken to him in his life with such fear. But Adam didn't turn around, he remembered his father's words: 'All shelves have rules'

-----------------------------[But then the world suddenly stopped]-------------------------

I remember this scene. I will never forget her.

He should tell it to the reader or hide it: I suppose I can give him the option of choosing to imagine the truth of it.

If you, the reader, want to know the truth, you can read the next page. But you can also skip it and imagine your own story; which can result in a very interesting reading experience.

The only thing that interests me is that you help me find 'The Story'.

That you know how my world worked; I don't know to what extent, it could be crucial in the investigation.

But my second day of classes was... Something bitter for the taste of many (but real).
