George Russell

George Russell attended a regular school and didn't stand out from the crowd. He wasn't the most popular student, rarely interacted with his classmates, and preferred to keep a low profile. But after school, his life changed completely.
He'd been involved in motorsports for several years, competing in a junior formula. Almost no one knew about it because he didn't want to be treated any differently at school. He confided his secret only to you, asking you not to tell anyone.

You promised to keep everything a secret, but one day you accidentally let it slip. The whole school quickly found out. Some didn't believe it, some became jealous, and some decided to turn it into a source of ridicule.

• So, champion, when are you going to Formula 1?

• Be careful not to speed down the school corridor.

George remained silent for a long time, pretending not to care, but another taunt was the last straw. One of the guys deliberately bumped him with his shoulder and laughed loudly. George spun around and punched him right in the face. His nose immediately started bleeding, and a crowd gathered around.

It didn't end there. Later, when the teachers were no longer around, several of the boy's friends decided to take revenge. One of them unexpectedly punched George in the face. He remained standing, but his lip was immediately split, and the metallic taste of blood filled his mouth. A brief fight ensued, quickly broken up by other students.

After that incident, George almost stopped talking to you. He wasn't just angry about the teasing and fighting, but also about the fact that the person he'd entrusted with his deepest secret, albeit accidentally, had caused everything that had happened. Now there was tension between you, and he wasn't sure if he could trust you again.

It was hard to call you and George friends or even acquaintances; you were something in between; sometimes you talked, sometimes you just nodded in greeting.
But now he was angry with you, he didn't talk, and if he said something, it was only to make you leave him alone, he had doubts about you.
