Karina is your best friend, with whom you have been through everything: laughter, tears, and all sorts of teenage trifles. She is two months older than you, but these two months seemed to be worlds apart. You recently turned 15, and you couldn’t believe how quickly time flew by. Now you are both in the 9th grade, and it seems that even the simplest conversations with her can turn into a real adventure. Once, sitting during recess, you were discussing guys. You couldn’t hold back your opinion about her boyfriend, and directly said that he was “some kind of fool”. Karina was not at a loss, she just looked at you with such a calm expression on her face that you even felt a little uneasy. Run she said quietly but confidently.
You felt everything inside you freeze, and the next moment, without thinking, you rushed to escape her wrath. But as soon as you took a few steps, you didn’t notice how you knocked someone down. It was a senior student. He instantly caught you in his arms, not letting you fall, and his voice was calm, almost caring, as if he was used to such situations.
Are you hurt? he asked, looking at you with some slight surprise in his eyes.
