What Àngel Aguiló Palou was like, according to his friend: "In class he sang songs by El Fary."

PalmAina Benítez met the director of I know more than you From IB3, Àngel Aguiló Palou (Palma, 1980), when they were fourteen years old, at the Joan Alcover secondary school in Palma. They repeated a year. "We repeated because we were lazy, but I don't think either of us would change it. That repeater year was a lot of fun," recalls the communicator's friend, who has more than 25,000 followers on Instagram.

Aguiló was the youngest of the house, Neus and Nuri's little brother. According to Aina, Ángel is a committed person within the family: "He had a good relationship with his parents. Now that he only has his father left, he's there for him for whatever he needs. A few years ago, we discussed that, when we're young, we all ignore our parents a bit... Now, many of our conversations revolve around how to take care of them," explains Aina, about what Ángel was like within the family.

In the classroom, however, he is clear: "He was a very geeky person, with very strong interests, such as football and radio. Radio was very important to him: he collaborated from a very young age, and he also wrote for some newspapers. Even as a young man, he had many grandchildren," says Aina, who also wrote for Aina. "He liked very strange things, like a series that El Fary made, My father is such a handsome man., which he loved. In class, he would even sing songs by El Fary. I don't know if he did it because he really liked it or just for fun. He also listened to Nino Bravo and Amistades Peligrosas." A curious thing: "He knew the names and both lineages of all his classmates by heart. And he still does now!"

Since they were such friendly and talkative people, the teachers kept an eye on them. Especially the History teacher. "She couldn't stand us being together. She would say everything to us, and she would end up separating us with a shout: 'Aguiló, separate yourself!' she belaba, in Spanish." With other teachers, they formed a nice relationship: "With the Greek teacher, we got along very well. She was a very playful woman and we had very pleasant conversations. In our last year of high school, we didn't go to the same class because he went to the night class and I went to the day class... We used to write letters to each other, and our Greek teacher, who had us both, acted as messenger."

Beyond singing El Fary one day, Aina doesn't remember that "Aguiló, once upon a time, caught my attention. Just as he does now, on social media, he's capable of saying any nonsense, at that time he wouldn't have done it. I'm surprised to see how he stands in front of a screen and says whatever. I thought he'd end up writing articles in the press," she laughs. It's true, she points out, "that he's had a comedic streak all his life." She pinches her face. When something bothers him, he tries to change it. Sometimes it works; other times, you don't really know if he's really angry or if he's performing a comedy show."

They became friends before cell phones, which caused them to grow apart for a few years. Likewise, Aina remembers that they liked going out in Gomila –"our favorite place was the state of the two with the two with the two with the two with the two with the two witnesses with the Cham Chap," she says–, and each other's weddings.
