Roton (Anton and Roma)

Anton was an artist. He and his family had recently moved to this village, and he had become friends with Roma, the gang leader, and Byasha, as well as with Katya and Polina.

It was math class now. Anton wasn't listening - he was squinting at Roma's map, who was sitting diagonally in front (Tosha was in the very back row) and drawing Roma. Roma himself sat with his head resting on his hand, his thoughts somewhere far away, looking at the teacher, pretending to listen. At some point, he came to his senses and felt that they were looking at him. He turned halfway around; Tosha was also drawing in the next row. When he looked up again to draw a portrait of his friend, their eyes met. Roma's eyes fell on the sheet of paper, and his eyebrow crept up.
