《Quem Ri Por Último Ri Melhor》CAPÍTULO CATORZE

Mais tarde, antes do almoço, Lauren me mandou uma mensagem:
"Vic disse que vc apanhou na escola. Me liga."
Liguei e ela atendeu no primeiro toque.
-O que aconteceu? – Ela já foi logo dizendo.
Levantei de minha cama e fechei a porta do quarto, não queria que minha mãe escutasse a conversa.
-Lauren, eu tô bem. Victoria é exagerada – eu disse.
-Me conta tudo – ela insistiu.
-Bom, eu meio que chamei o Avan, aquele garoto que é o meu principal algoz, de otário e depois tentei dar um soco na cara dele. Mas não funcionou muito bem.
-Você é louco. Por que chamou ele de otário? – Ela perguntou.
Não falei nada por um instante.
-Matt? Você tá aí? – Ela disse.
-Tô. É que, bem, ele disse umas coisas desagradáveis sobre você, depois ainda mexeu com a Vic, sabe como é – respondi vagamente.
-Hum – ela disse. – Okay. Ainda precisamos conversar. Passo aí a noite, pode ser?
-Pode.
-Okay – ela disse, desligando.
Lauren era do tipo de pessoa que se importava. Era intensa, participativa. Eu gostava disso. Nos conhecíamos havia três dias e ela já sabia quase toda a minha vida, e eu a dela. Nos tornamos amigos facilmente, apesar de algumas diferenças. Mas o diferente as vezes é bom.
A noite, depois do jantar, Lauren apareceu em casa, cumprimentou meus pais, conversou um pouco com Vic e, antes de ir embora, foi falar comigo.
-Eu disse que ia te ajudar, então, cá estamos – ela sorriu.
Eu sorri de volta.
-Matt, você conquistará Liz até o baile de formatura. Dou minha palavra.
-Okay, sou todo ouvidos.
-Você não precisa mudar seu jeito, sua essência, nem nada do tipo. Você é um cara excelente. Tudo o que você precisa é de uma repaginada. Isso é tudo o que Liz quer – ela disse.

-E como você sabe? – Perguntei.
-Vai por mim, ela é esse tipo de garota.
Não disse mais nada. Ela foi até minha cômoda, olhou, tirou algumas roupas das gavetas e colocou em cima da cama.
-Me diga o que você vestiria para ir à escola amanhã – ela disse.
Peguei uma camisa social roxa e uma calça branca surrada que eu simplesmente amava e mostrei a ela. Lauren retorceu a boca.
-Tá, vamos ver. Não sou perita em moda nem em nada do tipo, mas acho que tenho um pouco de noção para roupas. Tente ir com essa calça preta – ela levantou a peça – e essa camisa ¾ branca. Ela é bonita, você vai ficar bem nela.
-Lauren, eu mal uso essa calça. Ela é meio justa, gosto de coisas mais largas – eu disse.
-Sim, Matt, mas precisamos pôr as peças que você tem para rodar, ou elas vão apodrecer aí dentro – ela respondeu.
Aceitei os conselhos de moda de Lauren. Talvez se eu me vestisse melhor, Liz olharia para mim com outros olhos.

Failure will mean the destruction of his home and his people, for whom he now has the potential to become their champion.
