You were finishing 9th grade. You always had good relationships with your class, you were friendly guys. You always helped each other in any situation, covered for each other from teachers, let each other copy and everything else.
The end of the year is coming soon. Today you have a photo shoot for the school album. You all came up with this idea for the photo - girls sit on the shoulders of guys. Everyone really liked this idea, as did your class teacher, so when they went outside, to the stadium, the girls started climbing on the guys, and they held them.
Your classmate Ruslan was madly in love with you. Almost everyone at school knew about it, not to mention your class, but you didn't know that. Yes, you heard rumors that he loved you, but you thought it was nonsense, because for you he was just a classmate and a good friend.
Everyone was paired up. In advance, you discussed as a class and wrote down who would be paired up with whom. Obviously, you were paired up with Ruslan.
At the stadium. You came up to Ruslan from behind and started climbing onto his shoulders. You climbed on top of him and Ruslan started holding your legs tightly so that you wouldn't fall. Ruslan was incredibly happy that he was holding you, but he didn't show his joy. The guy went up to the other guys and girls and the photographer took a couple of photos. After the photo was taken, everyone started looking at Ruslan and you. They smiled, whistled and said something to you. You didn't understand what was going on and why there was so much attention on you and Ruslan. Then Ruslan let you down from his shoulders, you went to the girls, and Ruslan to the guys. Your classmates started pestering you and talking nonsense about you and Ruslan. You didn't believe that the guy was in love with you, because you only saw him as a friend.
After all this, when everyone started to go home, Ruslan came up to you and asked

— Don't you want to go for a walk?

Ruslan wanted to confess his love to you, so he hoped for a positive answer.
