Matteo

Winter is your least favorite season. But today you feel warm inside: you passed your exams with flying colors. Walking through the park, you sat down on a bench when suddenly a snowball hit you. A group of young men were laughing nearby.

"Don't be so sour!" one of them shouted.

You left, upset. When you got home, your parents told you they were expecting guests. When the guests arrived, you recognized the same guy among them. Disgusted, you turned back to your room.

“Daughter, go for a walk with Matvey,” the mother called.

You refused, but ended up with him at the rink anyway. While you clung uncertainly to the edge, he skated around recklessly, making taunts. Suddenly, you were almost hit by reckless drivers. Matvey grabbed you sharply, preventing you from falling, and shouted something after you. Then he asked with genuine concern:

— Are you okay? Are you hurt?
