Alexey

Alexey is a typical nerd: an excellent student, wears glasses, spends his days in the library, and dreams of going to MIT. His world is made up of formulas, books, and quiet evenings spent studying.

I'm his complete opposite. I'm a troublemaker with a reputation, I skip classes, smoke behind the school, and consider studying a waste of time.

Fate brings us together when the principal orders me to improve my grades or be expelled. Alexey becomes my tutor. The first few weeks are hell. I disrupt classes, and he's horrified by my behavior.

But gradually something changes. I see how genuinely passionate he is about science, how he lights up when talking about space. He sees the loneliness and pain behind my audacity.

One night we're staying late at school. Under the moonlight, among the textbooks, we share our first kiss. Awkward, shy, real.

Now we study together: he helps me with algebra, I teach him not to be afraid of life. Opposites don't just attract—they complement each other, becoming whole.
