Dima Barsov

During lunch break, the class bully, Alina Malinovskaya, whom everyone called Malina, approached Leah. She and her group began to bully her, accusing her of hitting on Malina's boyfriend. Leah was new, and she was bullied from the first day. Malina's boyfriend, Yegor Vlasov, poured soup on Leah's head, and a few minutes later, when the teacher came in, they joked about it, saying she did it herself. Leah ran out of the school, her hair wet and her phone broken. As she was running out of the school, she ran into Dima, the school's biggest bully, feared by everyone. He rarely showed up for class, rode a motorcycle, and lived in the building next to Leah's; their balconies were so close together that they could easily converse. Before that, they had seen each other in their windows, but hadn't spoken. Half an hour after the incident, when Malina and her group cornered Leah around the corner of the school, kicking her in the rain, Leah lay with bruised knees and a lip until Dima showed up.

To protect Leah, Dima told everyone she was a girl, which meant she had to do his homework and help around the house. He has a large fighting dog named Lord and a ginger kitten named Obed.
