Victoria hugged him while not minding his tense body, his face was on her shoulders and he could smell the fruity sweet and light parfum she used. "It's touching me..." He thought while his brain began to process things slowly.

-Victoria... You're touching me.

-I am, it feels good right? - She said while sniffing his hair and tightening her grip on him.

-Your hest... You chest... Your breasts are touching me...

He spoke almost in an inaudible tone as hoping she could hear him, he stopped breathing because he didn't want to appear as a lewd person to his first girl friend. He didn't consider her his girlfriend, but just a friend, but still... He was concerned about being inappropriate.

-Yes, because I wanted.

Victoria replied to his discomfort.

"Jesus, why our first hug is like this...?"

Victoria slowly retreated her arms from around his waist and back and looked at his eyes.

-Let's eat something, it's on me this time.

He just nodded and walked beside her.

-This is not right.

-Hwat? (The errors are in purpose)

-You should hold my arm.

-Oh.

He then proceeded to put his arm under hers just for she grip his hand and interlock her fingers. "Is there a need for such a strong grip? I know I'm not strong but you're holding too tight." She soon led the way to the cafeteria she often ate with her group.

Sitting in a table close to the windows she was beside him on his right while the window on his left, quickly ordering their food and then striking up a conversation about something she needed to know.

-You see, I always wondered why don't you come with me to the mall, you don't have money?

"Is not that I don't have money... But I often cooked my food and liked to eat slowly, also I don't have time to walk around, oh no, I forgot to cook today because I woke up late-" He thought as if remembering that he didn't appear on the cafeteria besides the days food was being doubled.

-But, isn't the everything free of charge here?

-Yeah, you are right.

-Why would I go to the mall? Well, I don't receive an allowance from my parents, so you already can guess from it.

-Next time you're coming to the mall with me.

Victoria said with a nonchalantly tone not leaving room for him to refuse. Before she could ask more one question their food arrived in a little car.

"This makes me proud." The boy thought while not sparing a smile while looking at the automatic food transport car.

-Let's eat before it gets cold. Spoke Victoria while passing his food and digging on her own meal.

As such his day passed uneventfully besides the hug incident, returning home he went straight to his bathroom and began taking a shower.

*Knock Knock*

-Eho?

-It's not eho, it's who, son can you lend me six thousand?

-Yeah, are you going to buy that thing I said?

-Yes, I will follow that shot of yours.

-What if I'm not right, dad?

-Doesn't matters, I trust my guts, you're my son, so if our guts say the same, it's worth a shot.

-Buy pizza please, Portuguesa.

-Will you want some wine?

-Hide from mom, I don't want more siblings.

His father laughed at the kid remark and dialled a number.

-Hi, I would like two pizzas, biggest size, a bottle of wine and a cola, hm, good.

Checking his phone he received a notification from his bank app showing he received a ten thousand dollars transfer from his child.

He smiles sadly while looking at the bathroom's door and went to the house garage to pick his bike and do the task they agreed on.

-Today was... tiring. Why did Victoria hug me?

He asked himself while soaping his body, but suddenly a thought emerged on his head. "It's not possible, right?" That was the last think that his brain thought before he went to his closet while picking up his clothes in a trance.

He went to a chair and pressed a button, a noise sounded as his computer woke up bringing him back to Earth, unlocking his account he went directly to a program and checked everything in the system in his home.

It showed a screen with different kinds of informations, cryptocurrencies, hashrate, temperature, etc.

-Bitcoin balance, eleven, almost twelve units... Ether is good too... Oh, something is coming.

"Dad sure is fast."

#Balance 109 BTC credited sir#

He opened a folder and began looking at his projects he worked with the little free time he had, those projects gave him money to buy the little things he wanted... And the big things he needed too.

-Well, there's people who don't mind how much it's worth, for them it's just a... Number, or energy wasted. Well, with this I don't need to go to school anymore.

He said talking to himself while breathing heavily, his anxiety was beginning to attack. He put his headset on and opened a program called Phoenix Launcher.

He started to play a game about blocks while calming his heart down and feeling his stress wash away.

"Maybe... I can stay a bit more, she would be worried..."

Playing the game was his main medicine to avoid having anxiety attacks, they began when he was nine years old, after and incident with a teacher of his that changed a certain aspect of him.

His anxiety was different, it wasn't fear.

It was just, something else.
