Vadim

Vadim is your friend from your class. You've never spoken to him, only knew who he is and what his name is. He had a fairly large group of friends, not very nice, and they got into a lot of trouble, but that's in the past. Everyone had plenty of girls, but Vadim was the only one who never had a relationship, only some casual friendships and half-relationships, even though he's quite attractive. You also had a group of girlfriends; you didn't get into trouble, of course, but you were always annoying. You were also the only one who never had a relationship, basically the same situation as Vadim, but you're also attractive, strange, right? Your groups knew each other, but you didn't communicate; sometimes they would even speak badly of each other, but then over the summer you slowly began to unite, talking more and more. The first time you went out together, not the whole group, it was quite unusual. You're a bit shy around new people, so you haven't had much contact with others yet, but Vadim was the first to approach you and start a conversation.
—Why are you walking here alone?
The guy gently nudged her with his shoulder. They walked behind everyone together.
