    About this ebook

    “Did it ever cross your mind to fall in love for the same person you swore to join with someone else?”

    That is exactly what happened to Ana Clara, the main character of this story. Ana Clara is in the same class as a boy she doesn’t dare to talk to after finding out she is completely, madly in love with him. The worst of all is that, even knowing he might be her prince charming, Ana Clara had already decided to find another princess to fill his heart. After learning that her talent to “find” and “match” soul mates wasn’t real, she decided to destroy the relationship and try to win the heart of the idiot with whom she fell in love with.

      After “The End”

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

    In Love With A Fool - Divino B'Atista

    » Prologue «

    I don’t know why but I feel like, all of a sudden, my life became a zigzag. In one minute, I had everything that I wanted but in the next minute something unbelievable happened. How can I explain all this when even I don’t understand what is going on with me?

    This whole situation may seem confusing because I haven’t given a reason to what happened, and so I ask myself if maybe a reflection of my past would help to unravel the reason for all this mess... Right, we should start at the beginning:

    PART 1

    The beginning of everything...

    » Simply unhappy «

    ––––––––

    A week ago, I was spending summer vacation at my grandparents’ house and I really only went back home after knowing that school would be starting soon. I was truly happy to go back home because my cousin was madly desperate since I had promised her I would go to my grandparents with one condition: to come back as soon as possible.

    As I arrived home, there were only two days left until my birthday, which gave me such joy, as well as all the loving kisses and hugs I got. My cousin was the first to hug me, pulling me to my room at the same time.

    As usual, she wanted to hear all about the adventures I had been through at the farm... Only I didn’t have the chance to live any adventure while being surrounded by a vastness of trees (especially in the middle of nowhere). I told her that the only fun I had was to be able to watch the movie Twilight repeatedly, which I idolized, and sometimes searching the small forest around the farm for an Edward or a Jacob. After so much chitchat about all the non-thrilling adventures, the days passed and so my birthday finally arrived.

    There was no party, no cake and, above all, no presents. Not because my family didn’t like me, in fact they love me, but the truth is that no one actually remembered this special day. It was fine, I didn’t even care, I wasn’t that desperate, but it doesn’t mean that it didn’t hurt me on the inside. It’s sad having to spend your birthday surrounded by so many people who love you without even getting kisses and hugs, or just a simple happy birthday. That is why I locked myself in my room for the whole afternoon, just like a prisoner in a jail cell, watching all my favorite movies.

    Since I hadn’t received any presents, I would gift myself a new movie which I had been anxious to watch for a long time: New Moon. By now I was used to pretending that the small screen of my laptop was a huge cinema screen, since the only fun I had when I was at the farm was watching my movies (and I’m almost sure that was the only thing that kept me alive at the farm for so long).

    As I slowly entered an emotional state, my eyes threatened me with tears during the scene when Edward Cullen broke up with Bella Swan to protect her. That’s when Nanda (the cousin I talked about) came to talk to me...

    —Ana Clara? — The door was already ajar when she came to my room not making her presence known and nearly scaring me to death.

    Not sure if it was because of the movie scene or the fact that I was still holding a grudge against my family for forgetting that today was my birthday, but I looked at her while trying to hide the sadness in my eyes.

    —What will you do tonight? — Nanda continued, now by my side. I realized my computer screen had attracted her gaze.

    —Nothing... I think. — I lied. I was going to spend my birthday by myself because I refused to have to remind my family that it was a very special day.

    —I was invited to a party at one of my classmate’s house. — She stopped to watch the scene where Bella almost got lost in the woods looking for Edward. — Do you... want to come with me?

    Anything would be better than spending my birthday all alone, however hard it was for me not to tell them.

    —I do! — I said, still looking at my computer. —What time is the party? —I wanted to know since I was completely busy at the moment.

    —At 4:30 pm... — Nanda said, looking at her watch. — But if you want to, we can go earlier and walk around, what do you think?

    I looked at the time on my computer, it was half past two in the afternoon, which meant I would have two more hours to watch my movie.

    —I think it’s a good idea. — I had stopped the movie in the scene where Bella started having an unusual behavior from missing Edward, like screaming in her sleep, probably from having dreamt about him. That reminded me of some special moments I had with my dad. — I need to clear my mind.

    I actually need to find my Edward, but I didn’t tell her that.

    —I’ll be back at 3:30 then. —When I noticed, Nanda was already almost out of the room.

    —And where are you going? —I wanted to know, still hoping I would have some company to watch the movie, although my selfish side screamed at me to keep being alone.

    —My mom decided to stop at the store to get some shirts and she asked me to go with her. I’m already late. —I heard her say before she disappeared behind the door.

    In that moment I thought that those shirts could be my secret birthday present, that no one had forgotten my big day, that it was all planned, every single detail, and that Nanda was forbidden to tell me.

    As the time passed I realized that the shirts were actually a request from Mrs. Cecília (our pompous neighbor who didn’t miss a single detail from anyone’s lives), and that it was true that everyone had forgotten that today I would turn 16 years old.

    ♥♥ ♥

    When the watch finally struck 4 o’clock, Nanda and I left the house, but not before we watched Edward ask Bella out in front of Jacob at the end of the movie, which urged me to create my own love triangle although I was almost sure it would be impossible. Not that I didn’t like to date, but during the last couple years my only interest was in matchmaking. I already considered myself as cupid (although a bit clumsy, I admit).

    It felt comfortable walking around aimlessly, it helped me think about what was happening and it even helped me forget about my birthday.

    It was a beautiful afternoon; the sunrays seemed to take all my pain away, leaving a huge empty space to be filled with fun, as if it was even possible to play in the middle of the forest surrounded by trees.

    —Oh no! It can’t be! It’s not possible, I mean, it is possible.

    As soon as Nanda looked at her watch, she realized we were extremely late.

    —What do we do now? —I asked.

    —What do we do now? —Nanda looked at me as if I had spoken Chinese. —Now we have to run.

    We ran until we arrived at her friend’s house, hoping no one would notice we were late. We were breathless after the small run and we decided to stop and recover our breath before our epic entry.

    » Friendliness...NONE! «

    —Ready? —Nanda asked worried.

    —Always! —I answered feeling confident. Before we entered the party, we quickly checked our outfits. No run could ever ruin the mood or our clothes.

    As soon as we got in, Nanda’s classmates came to say hello to us.

    —Hi Nanda! —Said a girl in a pink dress.

    —You finally arrived... —Said another girl in a red dress. — We thought you weren’t coming.

    —It’s true, Nathalie and I were even planning to have a bet to see which one of us was right.

    Luciana looked over at Nathalie, waiting for her to confirm but the only thing she said was Hi!

    Luciana rolled her eyes at Nathalie.

    —Hi! —I said, trying to be friendly.

    As far as I was concerned, the friendly environment between those girls was starting to stink. It seemed like that friendship was just a play (or for them to pass as good members of society), that’s why I introduced myself, even knowing they all could possibly ignore me.

    —Oh my, I’m sorry girls! —Nanda stopped me. —This is Ana Clara, my cousin, friend, sister and, sometimes, even my mother. She’s the person I always talk about.

    —Welcome, Ana Clara! —They answered as one, surprising the hell out of me.

    Moments later, we were introduced to everyone at the party. There wasn’t as many people as thought to be, or at least as I had thought. Surely it was one of the girls’ birthday, which reminded me how it was still my 16th birthday and that I obviously should be having a party just like this to celebrate another year of life. As I thought about this, the party started to become boring and I couldn’t wait to go back home. I decided that if I stayed any longer I wouldn’t be able to hold back the tears that had started to appear in my eyes.

    I told Nanda I wasn’t feeling comfortable there and that I would like to go back home as fast as possible, but she didn’t seem to like the idea so much and everyone asked her why I was leaving the party so suddenly.

    —Nanda? —Asked a red haired girl. —Why is your cousin leaving?

    I didn’t want to explain, it wasn’t necessary but I ended up just saying:

    —I’m not feeling good.

    I lied, that’s what I knew best. It was the only way of escaping without giving away that I didn’t want anyone to know that it was also my birthday. I really wanted to enjoy the day since classes would start the next day and everyone kept talking about it. The truth is that I couldn’t feel the same way I felt before, knowing that I would have to see all those egotistic girls all year.

    However, something was stealing my attention at the party and it seemed to please me more every second. I had noticed him ever since I had arrived.

    —He’s handsome, don’t you think? — Nathalie had noticed why I looked back so much.

    —What do you mean? — I answer, embarrassed. I was caught by surprise.

    What do I do now? What if Nathalie laughed at me just because an 18-year-old boy, that looked 16, had managed to get my attention, even if I didn’t seem to
