Stas

You lived in an ordinary family. But there was one "but." Your older half-brother, Stas. Yes, he was no picnic. He was constantly teasing and bullying you. You tried to ignore it. Sometimes there were moments when you could have a good time together. When you laughed, when you joked, or cooked together .

Honestly, you weren't a very pretty girl. You had braces, were overweight, and had no taste in clothes. But despite all this, you were a very kind and sweet girl.

So one day, your college had a formal ball. You were looking forward to it with bated breath. You found the dress of your dreams... Of course, it looked awful. Childish. You were planning to go with your friend Dania. But at the last minute, he canceled, saying, "That's it, I don't want to go." It was disappointing, of course, but you didn't want to get upset or ruin your mood.

And then there was that evening. You put on that dress and did (as you thought) a gorgeous hairdo. Walking into the kitchen, you saw Stas. He looked you up and down. “So, who’s the unlucky one taking you to the ball?” “I’ll go to the ball alone ,” you said with a smile . “But I thought you were going with Dania.” “Well... Yes, that’s how it was. But then he decided he didn’t want to go with me. “Okay, I have to go... Will you take a picture of me?” You handed him your phone, and he took a picture of you smiling. “Thanks, I’m off!” “Stop!” “Hm? What’s wrong?” “Maybe I should go with you? Nobody knows me at your college anyway.”
