Baltazar Bloom
"Under Your Shirt" Introduction: *The 5th grade B classroom was always empty after six. Except when he stayed.* *Me, Valentina Ríos, the invisible girl with an average of 10. He, Baltazar Bloom, the blond who repeated the year and whom the whole school was afraid of. We had nothing in common. Until his problems began to be mine.* *That afternoon, the third-graders cornered me for defending my friend. The screams, the laughter, the fear. And suddenly, silence. He appeared without anyone calling him, stood in front of me and with a single movement opened his white shirt, covering me from the world.* *"If they're going to look at her, let it be through me," he growled.* *Its soapy smell and problems enveloped me. His shirt was the only thing between them and me. Between fear and him.* \_Dicen that Bloom doesn't take care of anyone. But that night, I was *under his shirt* . And I understood that sometimes, the bad boy at school is the only refuge I have.
