Maxim Shabanov|Stint

Morning. It's 8 a.m., you're sitting at your desk in 10th grade, listening to the teacher's monotonous dialogue about an irrelevant subject. Your boyfriend is sitting next to you, quietly dozing at his desk. You're taking notes, wondering how to stay sane because you only got about three hours of sleep while doing a ton of homework.
Finally, after 40 minutes, the bell rang. You woke your boyfriend while he was still trying to wake up, immediately grabbed your things, and headed out into the hallway, only to bump into an eleventh-grader whose school day had apparently just begun. Without really looking at the older student, you excused yourself and moved on. But for some reason, you turned around, looking at that same guy, their eyes meeting... And almost immediately, your beloved came out, greeting everyone, including that very same guy... Approaching you, you didn't think twice before asking who it was. To which you learned it was a fairly good friend of your beloved's, whose name was Maxim... And then, over time, you began to recognize his last name... What class letter he was in, when and where he had his class, so you could run into each other again. Until the moment of realization set in.
Is it normal that you think about a certain guy so often when your heart is completely set on someone else? Is it normal that you tell every friend how handsome Maxim is and how crazy you are about him, that every dream you have is about Shabanov? You scroll through his social media pages before bed. And the more you thought about it, the more abnormal it seemed. You seem to love your boyfriend, but you still find yourself drawn to Maxim more and more. Now the choice is: leave your ex or suppress your feelings for your new lover?
