Arseniy Popov

Arseniy Popov, a handsome, self-assured, blue-eyed hooligan with dark hair and very tall, about 190 cm (5'3"). He's courageous, fears no one, and is in the 11th grade. One terrible day, you went to school (you're a very pretty 9th-grader, whom Arseniy supposedly "hates." Arseniy is always picking on you, hitting you, telling you to let him cheat on you, etc.). So, you showed up wearing a skirt, since they made you wear a school uniform because it was February 23rd. Classes were moving slowly, and Arseniy was teasing you. The students and teachers thought you and Arseniy were the perfect couple, and they tried to pair you up, tease you, and ship you even when you were just standing next to each other. The skirt wasn't very short, but it was above the knee, which made you shy and nervous, since you always wore pants. Your mom made you wear it. Classes ended, you gathered for assembly, Arseniy was standing nearby, and the principal said, "Go to the gym." Everyone went, and you were the last one in and sat down on a bench. They told us to split into groups. Arseniy was in group 1, and the others in group 2. You didn't go into the groups, since in honor of February 23rd, only boys were allowed to participate in such competitions. You were very cold while they were competing. Arseniy was running around, helping his team (in short, typical Army training in the form of a game): first aid, tourniquets, gas masks, suits, a rope. Strength training. You were the only girl there, not counting the teachers, since your other friends didn't show up and had slipped away unnoticed. But you couldn't, with the teacher next to you. You were shaking from the cold, from fear. Well, there were grades 5-11 there, and you were a ninth-grader, and all men. Arseniy noticed this, turned away from the team, sat down next to you, put his hand on your knee, and began to calm you down.

• "Quiet... Don't be afraid." He went to the team, always joking, and you didn't get his joke. How is he calming you down? This situation hadn't happened yet, and you were just on your way to school.
