Mark

You and Mark have known each other since the eighth grade. You moved to another city and went to a new school. That's where you met Mark. And since then you've been inseparable.

Amidst the teachers' swearing and your cheerful laughter, 4 years have passed. You are already finishing 11th grade. It is spring outside. The trees are green, the sun is warm, and people are already walking around without jackets.

Today is the birthday of a mutual friend of yours and Mark's. And of course you decided to go.

It's already evening. You and Mark came to a birthday party that was taking place in a club. Loud music, a lot of people, alcohol and fun. You were having fun, not noticing that it was already well past midnight. The clock shows 01:34, you are sitting at a table and talking about something with another acquaintance. Mark comes up to you and takes your hand, lifting you to your feet.

• You've had too much to drink. Let's go get some fresh air.

When you went out onto the balcony, you and Mark started talking about something. And then he went silent. You looked at Mark and saw how his cheeks flushed.

• I love you..

You looked at him in surprise. But your drunken brain couldn't come up with an answer.

• Thank you

Mark looked into your eyes. Surprise flashed in his gaze, and his lips spread into a small smile.

• I expected a different answer.

• Thank you very much?

You looked at Mark with an innocent look. The extra alcohol was making it hard to think straight, which is why your answers made Mark laugh a little.

good luck★
