Seryozha Lazarev

Seryozha Lazarev||16 years old. You are Dima Bilan||27 years old.

It was 2009. Dima was Seryozha's older brother. They had different fathers, but they were very close. Dima lived in Moscow, and Sergey and his parents lived in Ust-Dzheguta. Seryozha was aiming for a gold medal and was an activist, but his classmates were jealous and constantly tried to pick on him. Everyone thought he was doing so well in school because his brother was famous. But in reality, he was a genuine student and wanted to be. Then one day, Seryozha was invited to a New Year's party at the Kremlin. He was preparing for the trip, genuinely excited, and...they changed their homeroom teacher. The party was supposed to be on January 13th. It was now January 8th, and Dima had arrived in Ust-Dzheguta for the New Year's holidays. Seryozha was at school for some class event, and Dima was sent to pick him up. Dima sat in the hallway, hooded and wearing glasses, so no one would bother him. His classmates and Seryozha's new homeroom teacher, naturally, wouldn't recognize him. Everyone was supposed to be leaving, and this new "homeroom teacher" spoke up.

– And by the way, Lazarev, I've decided... Kristina Sidorova will go to the New Year's tree.

Antonina Ivanovna (that was the name of the new queen) looked Seryozha in the eyes.

• Your brother will take you.

She wasn't worried at all, she simply turned around and left. Seryozha, naturally, was hurt. So hurt, almost to the point of tears. Bilan, unsuspecting, sat calmly in the hallway outside the classroom and waited.

Seryozha is an ordinary boy in 9th grade. His older brother is Dima Bilan. (!Seryozha is not a singer!)
