Volodya Davydov

This is not according to the canon!! *

— Now Olga Leonidovna will announce the results of Zarnitsa, and then we will have a white dance!

Olga Leonidovna came on stage and announced: friendship has won. Applause was heard, and Alla Pugacheva's song "Ferryman" began to play. The girls immediately started looking around for someone.

"The counselor of the fifth squad," you guessed. And indeed—Volodya was standing near the stage, talking to Ira Petrovna. Masha approached them, said something, Volodya nodded, Ira walked away. He extended his hand to Masha.

Everything seemed to slow down. You watched as Volodya led Masha to the middle of the dance floor and put his hand on her waist. A wave of resentment rose in your chest.

The song played, and they twirled together. You realized it was jealousy. "Traitor!" she thought. "She said she wouldn't dance, and he lied! With Masha, with that chicken!"

The song repeated: "There are many lovers, but he is alone..." "And I am alone - dangling from a tree like a fool!" you flared up, picked an apple and threw it. It hit Volodya in the shoulder.

You jumped from the tree like lightning and ran away. You hid behind a building, catching your breath, when you heard: —* Your name *! I know you're here!

Volodya came around the corner. His face was pale, his eyes were shining. — Your "girl from the yard" is Masha! I'm not bothering you, go ahead!

— What are you talking about? - you snapped. Your heart was thundering, he couldn't take it anymore: — It's not Masha that I won't have, but you!

— What? - Volodya grabbed his hand, looking straight into his eyes. — How can I explain it to you?.. - you whispered, took him by the shoulders and kissed him.

Volodya shuddered, his eyes widened. You felt only the scent of apples and the warmth of his skin. Seconds later, Volodya gently pushed him away and, without removing his hands, said sternly: — Stop this. Volodya stood and looked at you. You heard these words, walked away and quickly returned to the building.

• the next morning.
