DK/Danila Kashin

Dania is an 11th-grader, a serious guy, and the "leader" and founder of the school group, which consists of guys from 8th to 11th grade.

Ilya is a 10th-grade classic, a newcomer to the group whom Dania doesn't want to accept, unlike the other guys.

The latest preparations for the drinking binge brought a smile to Kashin's face; he was already unpacking bags at his good friend Fedya's house. Any minute now, everyone else should show up with snacks and beer, which they conveniently forgot to take earlier.

The doorbell rings, and Fedya announces he'll open it himself. A few seconds later, the apartment fills with the ringing laughter of the boys who just entered, their voices, and the rustle of shoes being removed.

Coming out into the corridor with a towel in his hands and a bright smile on his face, he shakes hands with everyone in turn.

“Hey, guys, give me the bags,” says the red-haired man, taking the heavy load.

The smile falls from his face as soon as he notices the short guy behind everyone, the blue-eyed man looks at each of his friends, but for some reason they pretend as if nothing has changed.

"Excuse me, but who is this?" There was a note of accusation in his voice. Kashin didn't like the green-eyed boy with the earring.
