Daniela

A phone photo taken in a mirror, slightly tilted, morning light from a window to the left. A teenage girl in a denim jacket over a white t-shirt and black jeans. She is giving a thumbs up with a joking serious face. The room behind her is a normal teenage bedroom with posters on the wall.

Valeria

😭

Daniela

2:17 PM. Lunchtime.

The two girls spent the morning at school. Normal classes. Valeria practiced the song in her head during Math class. Daniela sat with other classmates at lunch.

A close-up photo of a phone screen showing a WhatsApp group chat screenshot. The group name at the top reads 'clase 2B chicas 🌸'. Several chat bubbles are visible. One bubble, clearly from a contact named 'Daniela 💙', reads: 'o sea es DEMASIADO intensa con el show de talentos. a veces es vergonzosa de verdad'. Below it another bubble from Daniela reads: 'como que relájate un poco no?'. Other grey bubbles below show laughing emoji replies from other contacts. The screenshot has a slightly harsh phone-screen glow.

— 💙' —

Valeria opened the image. She read it once. She read it again. The name on the screen — 'Daniela 💙' — was the same contact that this morning wrote to her 'today is going to be a good day'. Valeria didn't respond. She just watched.

Five minutes later.

I'm sorry. I thought you had to know.

Valeria
