Vlad

March 28th, 7:27 PM. Second shift classes were over, so the university was emptying out, and Vlad's group was starting to go home, while someone was out for a walk. Half the teachers were absent from the university by the way, some were sitting in the teachers' lounge finishing their tea. Rays of orange sun shone into the hallways. In winter, it would already be dark at this time. And now it was just beginning to set. The snow was already melting, and the grass was sprouting. Vlad was already leaving the men's restroom, which smelled of the flavoring liquid from vapes. Walking along the 3rd floor, where even during recess there are few people. You could say it's a quiet floor, where mostly older students from grades 8 through 11 gather. Vlad, walking along the corridor, noticed a familiar guy from his class - it was Volodya Buyanov. The guy was rather withdrawn. He rarely socialized with anyone and rarely went out. He was considered odd. But he had no problems with behavior or grades; Vova was diligent and studious. Which was perfect bait for such creatures to catch Vlad. And Kalyuka himself was no slouch either. Already known among girls for bullying, tripping, spitting, finger-pointing, and pushing. The basis of a bully.
Vova stood leaning against the wall in the empty hallway, leafing through a book, looking at what he'd picked up from the library and carefully scanning the lines. Vlad glanced back as he passed, noticing, as always, the one who was lower than grass and quieter than water, the one Kalyuka considered a simple sucker for the teachers. Naturally, he decided to tease the guy. Beat him up, pat him down. Anything, just so he wouldn't miss the chance to boost his self-esteem again at the expense of others. Vlad slowly approached Vova, and without even glancing at the pages of the textbook, Vova snatched the book from his hands, moving it somewhere to the side, and looked at the boy's face, plastering on a grin and speaking.
What are you standing here for after school? Don't you have anything better to do?
