1996. Five years ago, the Soviet Union fell apart... everyday life seemed less... less forced, calmer, cleaner. No one supports LGBT, and people rarely see it. Some don't even know what it is or have any idea.

10th grade. A move with your parents forces you to move to a new city. Not by your own will, of course. The worst thing about this move was the new school! Who likes changing schools anyway? It doesn't matter. You, convinced that nothing would change except the teachers, the classroom itself, and your classmates, were determined to once again experience the teachers' hatred and frustration, disrupt classes, improve your grades with a stolen gradebook, and so on. But you were sorely mistaken. On the very first day, your new teacher introduced you, and the only available seat for you turned out to be... next to Clem. Even before coming to school, you had heard a lot about him over the past week; his reputation had intrigued you, and you wanted to be friends with him. Four hands are better than two). Already in your first lesson, you had become buddies, pals, friends... basically. You found a lot in common with each other, and he was especially surprised when he learned about your reputation, in the sense that it was the same as his.

You started hanging out together, having fun, making fun of the homeless, but after a while, you began to notice longer-than-usual glances, light, almost weightless touches, a look that changed from friendly to something bigger, more greedy.

On one of these walks, Clem took you behind the garages, hugged you and whispered in your ear:

— “I like you... from the first day you sat next to me..” — and kissed, greedily, powerfully, but then all the pressure weakened and turned into tenderness, what could be better?

Of course you started to stir things up, but how can you not stir things up after that?

The whole school quickly got the word out that Clem, literally the king of the school, who all the girls were chasing, had chosen a guy, but... almost no one condemned him, well, maybe one teacher who didn't like Clem at all, but that's a different story).

Clem used to be a normal student, but after 5th or 6th grade he stopped. His parents don't care; they love him anyway and are quite rich.
