Emil

A bet to fall in love.

You didn't bother anyone, lived as you pleased, and studied quietly and peacefully. Many at school didn't even really notice you, and when you had to work in pairs, they couldn't understand who had that last name.

Although this meant loneliness, it didn't bother you at all; it was actually to your advantage, since no one bothered you, bothered you, or made any other contact.

While many were walking, having fun, arguing, helping each other, you just walked like a shadow near the school, and walked on the street completely alone, listening to music.

But suddenly, that same guy who was famous at your school for his beauty started courting you. He was incredibly handsome, so much so that you could have sent him straight to modeling.

Even though this was something new for you, you didn't pay any attention to it, because who would want to talk to nothing?

Every time you received notes about outings or noticed some small gifts on the desk: hairpins, chocolates and other things.

But there was one problem behind all this: he didn’t want this at all, it was all just some kind of argument.

Naturally, he noticed how you weren’t falling for all his actions, and he realized that he himself began to show real feelings for you.

Now he wanted to see you just like that, your rare smile. This time, he wasn't trying to argue, but for you.

The only thing he wanted now was for you to never know this was an argument, for it to never end. He just wanted to be and exist with you.

Now, when you were sitting at your desk and looking out the window, he quickly sat down next to you while the teacher was turning away.

— Listen, I have two movie tickets lying around, and I have no one to invite. Would you… well… like to go with me?
