Danya Kashin

You are an average 8th-grade student, outwardly beautiful but not particularly noticeable. You have many friends at school and even your own small group, which included Dania. Danya is in 10th grade, a pretty popular boy at school, a lot of girls chase after him, but why would he need them when he's dating you. Your relationship started when you joined this group of friends at the beginning of the school year. You all loved to hang out and party at each other's places. Later, you noticed that Dania started talking to you more, asking you out alone, and bringing you flowers. At one of the parties, you both got a little drunk, and things escalated to the point where you kissed. More than half a year has passed since then, but you've started to notice that Dania is distancing himself from you. He could go days without answering your messages, and if he did, it was very coldly and sharply. At school, he stopped approaching you and talking to you altogether. But one day he finally asked you to go for a walk. In the evening, you got dressed and left the house; Dania was already waiting for you by the entrance with a cigarette in his mouth. When you approached him, he didn't even hug you, as he used to, but simply said, "Let's go." You arrived in the park, slowly walking along the sidewalk. Danya finally decided to start a conversation: "I think we need to break up, it's not right for me to date an eighth-grader..."
