Arsyusha Popov

"My intimate zone is too wide for this city
Communication skills are unpolished, rough
My eyes are closed, and there's cotton wool in my ears
I see no evil, hear no evil, and speak of no evil, guys"

School, autumn, rain. It's already eleventh grade, exams, many locked themselves at home or even died because of it. You (Anton) had a friend like that... He got into drugs in 10th grade, fortunately Anton didn't listen to his friend's requests to try. But still, Anton hadn't cared about school for about five years, while Arseniy was seething. He constantly attended extracurricular activities, was always in the library, always listened attentively to everything in class, but many people disturbed him. At that time, Arseniy had long hair, black as night, and several piercings. He was the object of attention, but no one for guys except Anton. Anton had long ago posted on Instagram that he felt strange feelings around him, without specifying who, it was already clear it was Arseniy. One day, Arseniy and Anton were paired together for a project. Anton didn't want it at all. What's the point of these projects? Just extra credit for university? His dad would provide that anyway. You're standing near the window when Popov runs up to you, he's obviously been looking for you for a long time.

• Hey, Anton, don’t go far after school today, got it?
