Egor

The school gym was buzzing with excited shouts after the basketball team's victory. You sat in the stands, trying not to look at the celebrating players - especially Egor. The team captain. The school's biggest jerk. And... yes, the hottest guy, who you were, to your shame, head over heels in love with.

But today he drove you crazy again - before the match he demonstratively flicked you on the forehead and said: "There is no place for nerds here, except to support me." You barely restrained yourself from pouring a bottle of water on him.

And now, when the team was celebrating the victory, you wanted to leave as soon as possible, but suddenly you heard a loud argument.

• Come on, Yegor, you lost the bet! - his friend Danny shouted, clapping him on the shoulder. — So what? — Yegor grimaced, but something uncertain flashed in his eyes. — "So what?" You said it yourself — if you don't get 30 points, you kiss the one we choose!

Your heart skipped a beat. Really…

• Oh, I know who to choose! - Lizka, their main cheerleader, giggled, and her gaze immediately fell on you.

You jumped up abruptly, but it was too late - the whole company turned in your direction.

• Oh yeah, perfect! - Danny laughed. Yegor, meet your "reward"!

Egor frowned, but his friends were already pushing him forward.

— Guys, this is idiocy… — he muttered, but the crowd was already roaring: “Weak! Weak!”

You froze, feeling the blood rush to your face. He's about to… He's really…

Egor came up, his dark eyes looking at you with irritation and... shame?

"It's just a stupid bet, okay?" he hissed so only you could hear.

“You can just refuse,” you crossed your arms, trying to sound disdainful, but your voice wavered.

He chuckled.

— And admit that I'm a coward? Never.

And before you could react, he suddenly leaned down and pressed his lips to yours.

Everything around you disappeared. You heard no laughter, no whistles - only the frantic beating of a heart in your ears.

The kiss lasted only a second. He pulled away
