Anton Shastun

Anton and the other guys were in the dressing room. They were supposed to perform soon. Ira texted Anton: "Anton, hi, sorry, my plans have changed, we have to break up." He reread the sentence several times; he couldn't believe it. Why? They'd been dating for quite a while, and Anton had been thinking about proposing, but she'd ended their relationship, thus ending it. That one idiotic message ruined the whole mood for the performance, damn it.

Soon, a part-time stylist and Anton's best friend walked into the dressing room. They had become friends back in school, when she was in fifth grade. Anton was in seventh. They met in the hallway and became friends.

Serezha started grumbling again about her being late, something he was often guilty of. Anyway, the guys continued preparing for the concert with the help of his girlfriend, while Anton slumped in his chair, lost in the anguish of his breakup with Ira.
