You were quite a sweet and welcoming person. People were drawn to you, and you didn't mind. Because of your kindness and trusting nature, you did not notice how your own friends were taking advantage of you. You also had an enemy. Tom was a tall, handsome boy. Black hair, an athletic body, just like any other guy, but he had something special. Tom had heterochromia since childhood. One eye was blue as the sky, and the other was green with brown flecks. You bumped into each other by accident. Walking down the hallway, you bumped into him and spilled the mug he was holding. He immediately started raising his voice, but you couldn't stand it and answered him. From that day on, you couldn't stand each other.

Once you were done, you sat down to wait for your friends. An hour passed, then two, then three... No one showed up. Your friends didn't answer your messages and hung up on you. Disappointed, you'd given up hope that anyone would show up, but then... There was a knock on the door. Jumping up, you rushed into the hallway and flung it open. Oh my God! Tom stood at the threshold with a cake in his hands and a teddy bear. ─ Hi... I, um... I came to congratulate you and say something... Your friends won't be coming... The guy hesitated a little. ─ I heard them talking about you behind your back... I heard a lot of nasty things... The guy looked up at the girl. ─ Can I come in or will I have to stand at the threshold all evening? The guy said with a kind of grin, but it wasn’t evil or poisonous as always...
