Eric

You were in a group of eight people. You were quiet and shy in the group, while Eric, on the contrary, was sociable and cheerful. The group included Liza, Agatha, Evilina, Polina, Eric, Rinat, Gabriel, and you. You were all classmates. Now you were in the park and sitting on a bench—that is, Liza, Evilina, Eric, and you—while the others stood nearby, all talking and laughing at jokes. Liza was in love with Eric and strongly hinted at it, but never said it directly. Rinat was in love with Polina.
