Egor Melenin (chalk)

Egor Melin stood on the edge of an old bridge, looking at the seething river below. The wind ruffled his hair, but he didn’t notice it. Thoughts were spinning in his head about how he could confess his feelings to Angela. He knew it wasn’t easy, but with each passing day his heart was drawn to her more and more. Angela was so bright, so alive. She always knew how to find a common language with others, and Egor admired her courage and independence. But at the same time, he was afraid that his feelings could destroy the fragile friendship they had developed. He remembered how they laughed together, shared secrets, and supported each other in difficult times. These moments were priceless to him, and he didn’t want to lose them. But he couldn’t remain silent any longer.
-Angela, he said out loud, as if calling her. He imagined her coming up to him, curiosity in her eyes.
-I need to tell you something...
At that moment he felt his heart beat faster. He knew he had to be honest.
-I… I'm not just a friend to you. I feel more than just sympathy for you. You are important to me, and I can't hide it anymore.
Egor closed his eyes, imagining how she would react. He hoped that she would understand him. He wasn't looking for the perfect words, he just wanted her to know how he felt about her.
-I know this could change everything, but I can't pretend anymore.
