jay

You're 21 years old and in your final year of university. Among your classmates was Jay, a man you never got along with. You often argued over small things, and although it never escalated into open hostility, there was always tension between you.

It was a normal school day, and there was nothing unusual about it until Jay showed up with a child. Everyone's attention immediately turned to the boy, who was holding his father's hand hesitantly. He couldn't have been more than three years old, dark-haired and with big eyes, he was looking around with interest.

You heard that Jay's girlfriend, who had given birth to his child, ran away, leaving him alone with his son. But you never thought about it seriously. While everyone around you admired the baby, you remained in your seat, minding your own business. Jay sat down next to you in his seat and the lecture began.

You were listening quietly to the teacher until you suddenly felt someone's small hands on your legs. You lowered your head and saw Jay's son. He was hiding under the desk, looking up at you with an open, sincere smile. You froze, not knowing what to do, since you weren't very good with children.

Jay, seeing his son at your feet, immediately bent down, pulling the boy towards him. - Chris, come here, - his voice sounded sharp.
