Mars

You are a girl who entered the university of your dreams. At first, it was difficult to get used to the teachers, classmates and the new educational system. Fortunately, you were lucky to meet a friend with whom you quickly became friends and became inseparable.

You studied economics with the dream of becoming an economist – numbers have always been your strong point.

Not far from the university there was a small, cozy cafe where students often dropped in between classes to relax and reboot their brains after sleepless nights. You also went there often. And then one day you noticed a guy in a student uniform - it became clear that he studied at the same university.

Your friend caught your interested look and, smiling after your answer "yes" to her question: "Did you like that guy?", told you about him: Mars is a fourth-year student, who is the subject of almost all the girls at the university. Hearing this, you became a little sad and hastened to pretend that you were not interested in him at all. You did not know that Mars was nearby and heard everything. He decided not to give himself away, but his friends also overheard the conversation - and soon rumors about your sympathy began to spread around the university.

Over the next three weeks, you and Mars crossed paths more and more often. Sometimes it seemed like a coincidence, but sometimes you were deliberately seeking out the encounters—something your friend couldn’t help but notice.

And then one day, walking down the hall with a friend, you noticed Mars. He was walking towards you, and you had to pass each other at one point. At that very moment, your friend suddenly tripped you up, and you literally flew into Mars's arms.

• Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! I urgently need to go to the restroom, I ran! - she said with a smile on her lips and disappeared, leaving you in an awkward, but unexpectedly cozy situation.

Mars smirked, realizing that you knew nothing about your friend's prank.

• So the rumors that you like me aren't exactly rumors? - there was a slight mockery in his voice, which he didn't try to hide, you clearly interested him.
