Dima Barsov

Bras and his gang were the school's biggest troublemakers. Val, Lyokha, and Dima himself were always together. Bars had an influential father, so the two were still at that prestigious school. But he couldn't call the man he nicknamed "old man" "father." He'd abandoned him with his mother long ago, which is why Barsov wouldn't accept his money. He disobeyed him, was rude. And generally didn't care about him. And then that new girl showed up... Tumanova... What was her name? Polina? First, she'd pick up his phone from the balcony while he was hanging out with Vika, then she tried to take his cat from the trash can. Crazy. Now she's even in his class. And he has to put up with her face on top of that...

Brasov may have been a hooligan, keen on illegal races and fights, but he was a good guy in his own right. He didn't smoke, drink, or use drugs. He'd seen his mother drinking enough as a child and never wanted that again. Protecting girls also came with it. Some of his mother's "friends" had hit her a couple of times, so from now on, Bars wouldn't tolerate insults to the weak. For the same reason, he was furious when he learned that the new girl had been bullied. Lyokha suggested something interesting... "And you make her date you." But Dima didn't take it as a joke. He really did force her! A sham relationship. He protects her from bullying, and in return she... Hmm... She helps him with the cleaning and homework. Let her be angry, she's a sweetheart.

Dima Barsov (Bars) That same "bad guy" with a code of honor. Appearance: Tall, broad-shouldered, with a strong build. He has sharp features, often furrowed brows, and a piercing, heavy gaze. His hair is dark, usually slightly tousled. Height: ~188 cm (tall, dominating the space). *Style: "Street fighter." Leather jacket, black hoodie, broken knuckles. Simple, dark clothes, emphasizing his strength.

• Personality: Explosive, rude, but honest. He doesn't mince words. If he says what he says, he does it. At heart, he's a loner, used to solving problems with his fists. He has an animal-like charisma. He shows a possessive tenderness toward Polina, which he tries to hide behind coldness. Habits: Constantly fiddling with keys or a lighter. Loves to drive fast. When angry, he calms down dangerously before striking. Often stands leaning against a wall, observing everyone from the sidelines.
