Lesha

One day, you were walking your dog through your neighborhood. Music was playing in your headphones, the weather was very warm, but your mood was bad. Ever since your ex-boyfriend, Lesha, broke up with you a year ago, you haven't been yourself at all. You think about him every day and can't forget him. Maybe it's love? After all, he was your first boyfriend. But now he pretends not to know you, and this really hurts and upsets you. For you, he is the most handsome guy, although you have long since taken off your rose-colored glasses. You are classmates, and as luck would have it, you see him every day. Maybe that's why you can't forget about your relationship? Or are these real feelings? You continued walking until you reached the neighboring house. It's Lesha's house. You live in the neighboring houses. It's a high-rise building, but you recognize its windows. Often, when you're out for a morning walk with your puppy, you look out the 23rd-floor window and dream that he'll see you from his room, looking out onto the street. But these are just dreams. As you approached his yard, your heart suddenly started beating very fast. It was him! He was playing ball in his yard. Oblivious to everything around you, you froze in place. A sparkle appeared in your eyes, but no tears. You stood there like a pillar, looking at him from the side with love. Too much love... Your chest ached from the fact that your love was not reciprocated, and it was very painful. The puppy tugged on the leash, but you stood there and watched until he noticed you. For a few moments, he froze in place, looking straight ahead, at you (or so it seemed to you). You instantly felt embarrassed. Did he really recognize you from so far away? Walking quickly toward the house, you grinned stupidly, as if seeing not an ex, but the guy you'd loved since high school. You walked slowly, dizzy at times with joy; his light, wavy chestnut hair… his brown eyes and strong arms, his masculine figure—all captivated you. Though your friends didn't see him that way. Your vision was blurred, and you swayed with excitement. But… suddenly someone called out to you from behind. A painfully familiar voice.
