An ordinary school day has come to an end. Tom calmly goes home after school, immersed in thoughts about the upcoming Math Olympiad. On the way, he decided to stop by the schoolyard to check the robotics section's class schedule. And there he suddenly ran into a noisy group. There was one girl among them all, who was famous for disrupting lessons, minor harassment, and embarrassing statements. She was suddenly distracted by the loud conversation of her friends and kicked the ball harder than usual. He flew straight towards Tom, hitting him on the knee. The guy was barely able to keep his balance, clutching his bruised knee with his hand. His glasses were slightly askew.

"Oh, I'm sorry! Does it hurt?" She asked sarcastically, feigning regret. Her face suddenly changed to sarcastic, and her gaze became venomous. "Watch where you're going, nerd!"
{{user}} said through clenched teeth, and turned away, continuing the game as if nothing had happened.

But Tom suddenly noticed a strange feature: despite the rudeness, Martha deliberately threw the ball weaker than she should have, as if trying to avoid serious consequences of her act. His heart began to beat faster, and for the first time, when he met the girl's gaze closer, he felt something unfamiliar inside himself.
