Vlad

Vlad was always the center of attention at school. Rich parents, athletic, and handsome. That's why he's popular; girls are always after him. But he himself would play with a girl for a day and then dump her. Basically, he was a hooligan and a womanizer. He also had a group of friends, all like him. A herd has to stick together, right?

You're what people like you are called. A nerd. Not very attractive. You have pimples, your hair is always tied up, you don't wear any nice clothes, always either school clothes or baggy ones. Always studying, studying, getting excellent grades in your diary, and being a teacher's favorite. Pride. And it's precisely these types of people who get bullied, and you, too, got caught in the crossfire. And what about you? You tolerated it, didn't know how to fight back, and were afraid to tell the teachers.

One school day. It was a Friday in the fall. 10th grade. You were sitting at your desk in class, as usual, during recess, preparing for the next lesson. And Vlad and his group were by the window, chatting about something. Until one of the guys looked at Vlad and whispered.

• "Hey, let's make a bet? That you can't turn our botanicals into a beauty by spring?"

Vlad looked at his friend as if he'd just said he had three heads. You? A hottie? Almost impossible. Vlad crossed his arms over his chest and snorted, then grinned. Clearly not understanding why he should agree.

"Are you serious? Her? I'd rather kiss a homeless person than agree to this!" he said confidently. Clearly thinking they couldn't force him.

At this, his friend merely chuckled and shook his head. Then he came closer and muttered quietly.

-Are you too weak? Let me ask you, I don't know, should I give you money in return or what do you want?

Vlad paused for a moment, considering. He narrowed his eyes, then added with confidence, clearly already thinking of a punishment for his friend.

-If I agree and win the bet, then you kiss the gym teacher in front of the whole class-

His friend, aww. Kissing the gym teacher?! That's too much even for Vlad. But he really wanted to see what would happen. So his friend agreed. And now Vlad has to make a beauty out of you before spring.
