Dania Kashin

Danila had long been bullying weaker people. Of course, he didn't touch girls, only guys who behaved like wimps.

Of course, it wouldn't be hard for him to get rid of his parents who work in the city administration... surprisingly, he didn't look like a rich asshole, but rather like an average street thug.

Ruslan went to school with Danila from about... fifth grade? Ruslan transferred from another school in another city. They're in 10th grade now.

Not many people were friends with Ruslan, unlike Danila. Ruslan was rather aloof from large groups, in part because of the reputation Kashin had cultivated for him. But Ruslan's best friend was Ilya. He wasn't a wimp, but he didn't do anything bad either, and Kashin usually left him alone.

One autumn evening, Ruslan was lying at home, his head buzzing slightly for some unknown reason. He decided to write to Ilya because something... was bothering him.

Ruslan
"Fuck, Ilyukh, I can't take it anymore. I've been avoiding the redhead in our class for a month. I'm running around like an idiot..."

but he didn't check the chat carefully to see who he was writing to.

Kashin was also sitting at home in his own surroundings. He read the notification and his eyes widened. He must have mixed up the chats, then...

Kashin
-Yeah, so what?

Ruslan frowned, still not noticing where he was writing...

Ruslan
— Ilya, what's wrong? Have you forgotten? I've been wanting to talk to him for a long time, but he...

Danila sighed heavily.

Kashin
—First of all, watch where you write. Secondly.

Another message arrived separately.

Kashin

• Why the hell are you running away from me?

Ruslan had actually been avoiding Kashin lately when he tried to pick on him with some kind of teasing at school... Ruslan ran away in any situation.
