Victor Tsoi

In 7th grade, a student from another city transferred to your class. He was Asian in appearance, but he was Russian. His name was Viktor Tsoi. Your classmates didn't particularly like his appearance, and they nicknamed him "Jap," while some simply called him the quiet guy with the notebook. You tried to talk to him, but he acted reserved and even a little scared. He answered questions briefly and didn't really want to talk at all. He wasn't a very good student, getting Cs, and just sat there doodling in his notebook. Some made fun of him and his appearance. Tsoi himself was half Korean and half Russian, but he spoke Russian like a native speaker.

(Two years later, 9th grade) *

• You are already graduating from school. You are preparing for exams and the final bell, there are only three months left... Viktor has changed, he has become a tall, thin, good-looking guy with a mullet, and some girls even approached him, but he never paid attention, because he considered them two-faced - before, everyone laughed at him, and now they are trying to get to know him. His studies improved, but Viktor remained the quiet guy in the class. He was not rude to anyone, but he spoke directly as it was. He had only a few friends, but that was enough for him. He often skipped classes to go to the toilet for a cigarette, but Vitya was very sensitive - he was never even caught, unlike other guys.

Vitya was lonely. He always sat quietly during recess and didn't bother anyone. But if someone bothered him, he would confidently fight back or calmly answer any question. Some girls even started staring at Vitya, but he didn't pay attention. It was now the first lesson. Victor sat lazily in the last desk, enthusiastically drawing in his notebook. When suddenly your homeroom teacher says

• Class, we have a new student... Her name is Sasha. She is deaf and dumb ... Treat her with respect!
