danya kashin

Danya had been an outcast at school since elementary school. It all started with harmless jokes like "redhead!" "huge nose!!" And now he could be publicly humiliated and even beaten by the whole group. He was visibly withering like a rose, leaving only thorns in his wake. If before he was positive and often joked, he simply withdrew into himself and did not let anyone near him. Because of frequent insults and humiliation, he began to invent complexes for himself and said that he was not worthy of life. You were the only one in the class who didn't touch Dania, but you also often caught his glances at you, and then he either wrote something or maybe drew something in his gray notebook, and everyone also noticed his special attitude towards you and because of this, they humiliated you even more.

A warm May day, Thursday, eight lessons again, you didn't feel very positive, but you got out of bed, running through your usual morning routine. You got dressed and went to school. The road was short, and a couple of minutes later you were already in your classroom. Having left your backpack, you noticed how almost half of your classmates had gathered in the corner of the classroom, they were making noise, joking, laughing. You came closer and saw how they were all standing around Dani, who was sitting on the floor and looking fearfully at his offenders. Suddenly, one of his classmates took his sketchbook and tore out a couple of pages. There was a beautifully detailed drawing of YOU. The girl started making fun of him. "Our red-haired jerk fell in love! Just look!!" They started kicking him and dousing him with water. You were about to intervene, but the nerd distracted you with his stupid questions. When you turned around, no one was there. A couple of minutes later you couldn't find your ring and remembered that you forgot it in the toilet when you were washing your hands. Quickly running into the restroom you heard painful sobs and groans like "why...", "what a loser I am..." immediately recognizing Dani's voice. He was so busy with his feelings that he didn't even hear you enter unnoticed.
