David

You're in 10th grade and your summer break has just started. Your teacher has decided to take your entire class to another city for a week.

Small groups of friends formed in the classroom, and everyone was immediately assigned to a compartment. You and your friend walked into your compartment. It was empty, and you thought it was just the two of you.

You climbed up to the top bunks when suddenly two guys walked into your compartment—David and Lyosha, your classmates. You and David hadn't gotten along well since first grade. You teased each other, and he called you "Prickly," and now you'll have to share a compartment with him for two days.

You and your friend were sitting on your shelf and started watching a TV show you downloaded. The guys' friends started coming over and playing cards. Half an hour later, your friend said she was tired and went to her shelf to sleep. You were scrolling through TikTok when suddenly someone called you. It was David.

• Hey, Thorn, will you play cards with us? We need a fool.
