El club secreto de Pepe y Pedro

En el pequeño pueblo de Manzana Verde Roja-azul, Pepe va a visitar a su amigo Pedro, que vive en la calle de atrás. Sale de su casa. Voltea al cielo y una gota de agua salpica sus lentes. Se cubre la cabeza con la capucha de su sudadera. Con sus recién cumplidos 11 años, Pepe y Pedro son los fundadores de un club secreto en el que están los chicos más grandes de su cuadra. Ellos dos.

El motivo de su visita, es secreto. La mamá de Pedro lo castigó por una pelea en la escuela con los miembros de otro club. Les robaron un documento muy importante y secreto, este fue el motivo del problema.

Pepe camina y llega a la esquina, da vuelta. A lo lejos ve a Karla con su enorme perro. Ella es el temor de todos lo chicos. Asusta e intimida a todos. Ella sostiene el sobre con el documento. Al llegar a la esquina, está la casa de Pedro, él, ve por la ventana. Pepe debe tomar el documento, todos sus secretos están ahí. Ella lo abre lentamente. Pedro le hace señas a Pepe. Él, corre; ella, lo examina y lo lee.

El tiempo se detiene. Karla se sonroja, Pepe la mira. Todo está perdido. Pedro contempla la escena desde su prisión. Ella voltea y ve a Pedro en su ventana, él tiembla y desaparece.
Karla se acerca lentamente a Pepe. Él, cierra los ojos. Un beso cerca del labio. El documento está en sus manos. Ella se aleja riendo, lo sabe todo. Pepe la ama, la hermana de Pedro, la mejor amiga de Karla sería el contacto. Ella tiene 12, sería imposible.

El secreto terminó.

JOHN KEATS

ODE TO A NIGHTINGALE

VII

Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird!    

No hungry generations tread thee down;  

The voice I hear this passing night was heard   

In ancient days by emperor and clown: 

Perhaps the self-same song that found a path 

Through the sad heart of Ruth, when, sick for home,  

She stood in tears amid the alien corn;        

The same that ofttimes hath   

Charm'd magic casements, opening on the foam  

Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn.

Each of its 3 parts has an important notation.

The worst is that which persecutes the mind."
