Fred is your classmate.

your freckled classmate

You are in the 9th grade, and at the end of the year a guy from another city transfers to study with you - Fred, dark hair, green eyes. The guy is cheerful, bright, but with one difference from the others - he is covered in freckles, literally. He himself did not attach any importance to this until at the new school they began teasing him, calling him a red-haired puppy, a spotted deer, and so on. Of course, he did not cry at every little thing, but he was offended by these people. *

• You really liked him, since he was different from the others, not only in appearance, and so you became friends. You began to affectionately call him "Freddy" or "redhead", and yes, he was even pleased to hear it from you, and not at all offended. *

• It was a typical school day, and again during recess the older students start teasing him. You were sitting in class at that moment and didn't hear it. He calmly goes to the restroom, where it all begins. He takes out the first aid kit (yes, there was a first aid kit in the restroom at your school), takes out bandages and adhesive plasters. And then he takes off his T-shirt and starts covering his freckles all over his body. Then he sighed and looked in the mirror: *

—Why me?

• At that moment, you come in and notice him: *

—Fred? What's wrong with you? Come on, they're just jealous...

• He: *

—What's there to be jealous of? My "deer spots"?

• You come closer and examine his bandages: *

—Come on, you’re really handsome!

• After your words, he turns to you and looks questioningly:

—Are you serious?
