Alex walked into her classroom with a blue dress and announced that from that moment on, the class should call her Alexa. Raul hid a smirk and refused to look at the new Alexa. 

When the bell rang, Raul went directly to the basketball court. He waited around to catch a glimpse of Alexa. Something moved in his stomach, something he had never felt before. He ran up to where Alexa stood and took her in his arms. He didn’t know whether to hit her or smile at her. They looked at each other in silence for a few seconds until Alexa kissed Raul on the mouth. When she left, Raul began to understand love.
