Lucía sin sonrisa
by Ariadna EspinoValentina sabe que siempre recordará los exámenes de enero por la forma casi sigilosa en que ha empezado a nevar. De puntillas, a tientas, cuando nadie está prestando atención. A veces la culpa se parece a eso, a ver la nieve de lejos, al otro lado de la ventana. Y otras veces, a una canción de Shakira, a una tirita en la rodilla de una niña o un clip amarillo en el pelo, a ver una fotografía que parece un poema. O a perder una cuchara detrás del aparador. La culpa se parece a muchas cosas, todas pequeñas y todas hambrientas, todas cautelosas como la niebla que se extiende sobre el bosque y lo deja todo blanco y quieto. Y a veces ni siquiera tener unas amigas increíbles puede mantener a raya la culpa. Sobre todo cuando la sombra de la depresión de la hermana de Valentina pesa sobre la infancia de todas ellas. Por eso, un encuentro fortuito con una compañera en el pasillo de la facultad puede complicarlo todo. Porque Valentinaaún tiene muchos dragones que derrotar y enamorarse de Lucía, que también sufre depresión, no es lo más inteligente que podría hacer. Porque Lucía siempre está triste, lo sabe todo el mundo. Lo que no saben es que también está asustada, que tiene días tan difíciles que apenas puede moverse, que se irrita con la facilidad de un gato malhumorado. Ni que siente que es culpa suya, ni que es algo más que su enfermedad. Pero Lucía es también una chispa, un relámpago, la luz de una vela. Y Valentina no puede dejar de mirarla. Porque el amor también viene despacio y en silencio, casi sin darse cuenta. A escondidas. Como lágrimas de rocío cuando aún no ha llegado el amanecer.

What her mother and coach don't know, but her English teacher begins to figure out, is that when Katie gets to an emotional edge, she hides and cuts herself; the pain and blood help focus her mind. Not until she goes over that edge one day at school and begins slamming her locker door on her hand and then banging her head on the wall does she begin to get the professional help she needs. After a couple of false starts, she finds a psychiatrist experienced in working with teens in trouble who enables her to tell truths she hasn't for years been able to admit to herself or speak of to anyone else. Her mother resists other adults' help and almost succeeds in getting her out of therapy, especially group therapy with girls her mother labels "delinquents." But Katie finally manages to make some choices against her mother's wishes--an immense step out of the depths of years of co-dependence. As the story ends, she has come to realize the girls in the group are capable of being real friends--something she hasn't had for a long while--and she is capable of making choices toward her own healing, the first of which is to seek and accept real help and to distinguish it from pleasing adults who are using her to assuage their own pain.
