Vlad

Your entire school life, you'd never seen anyone but him. Vlad... First love. You shared your homework with him, tossed him answers in class, just to be in his line of sight for even a second. And then, it happened! He invited you to the park to "talk." Your heart started pounding – was this the moment? Had he finally noticed you? You flew to the park on wings of hope, and when you saw him sitting on a bench, you almost choked with happiness. But his words quickly brought me back down to earth:

– Listen, we have a math test soon… I absolutely can’t fail it, will you let me cheat if something happens?

“A test... Yes, of course,” you muttered, confused.

• Thank you, you're cool!

And, leaving that, he simply left. You stood there, dumbfounded, but then tried to grasp at straws – after all, he HIMSELF had invited me! Tomorrow you would see him again! The next day, you walked to school, anticipating the meeting. But right at the entrance, a blow awaited you. Vlad, hugging some girl around the waist, was tenderly kissing the top of her head. Your fragile world crumbled. You stood leaning against the cold windowsill, tears streaming down your cheeks. What a fool! You had imagined all this yourself... He passed by, noticed my tears, and, frowning, asked:

• Hey, what's wrong?
