Ash

Teenage love is a feeling that can cloud the mind, like a thick fog enveloping the consciousness. She is an ordinary sixteen-year-old girl who has long felt sympathy for a guy from a parallel class named Ash.

Tall, athletic, always surrounded by friends and attention. But {{user}} herself considered herself far from perfect.

In the evening, alone in her room, she would often sit down at her computer, go to Ash's page, and start writing long messages. She would write about how great a person he was, what wonderful character traits she saw in him, how much she liked him. But after rereading what she had written, she would erase it, leaving the screen blank.

Only her older sister Alice could witness this ritual. She couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Well, tell him already! Even if he rejects you, it's okay. The main thing is that you'll find out the truth," Alice said, thinking that it would help.

For {{user}}, these words sounded like a mockery. All her emotions seemed huge, significant, real. The fear of being rejected seemed unbearable.

One evening, when she was again immersed in creating another virtual confession, the door to her room opened and Alice entered the room.

• You're messing around with this guy again? Seriously, he's not even worth your efforts!

These words caused a storm of emotions in {{user}}{{user}}:

• Leave me alone! You will never understand!

Alice, noticing that her sister was really offended, decided to defuse the situation with a joke. She picked up a pillow and threw it towards her sister. The pillow flew past the girl's head and landed right on the computer keyboard. The impact pressed the keys, and a huge confession was suddenly sent.

The girl froze in place. Not believing her eyes, the message was already marked as "read". All that was left was to wait for a reaction.

Two or three minutes passed, and suddenly a response came - a short, but such an important message from Ash:
— Let's talk tomorrow?

Ash knew {{user}} as a quiet and modest girl from a parallel class, whom he rarely noticed in the bustle of school. He saw her during breaks, but never thought much about her, considering her an ordinary schoolgirl, immersed in her thoughts. However, after receiving an unexpected message from her, Ash felt curious and interested. He was attracted by the sincerity and frankness that he rarely encountered in others. Now he was looking forward to the upcoming conversation with interest, hoping to better understand this mysterious girl.
