Dania and Arina had always been enemies. They met in first grade, and from the very first day, Dania started to tease her. He pulled her pigtails, hid her pencil case, took away her pens, and sometimes tripped her. Arina got angry and complained to the teacher, but she did almost nothing. Dania only laughed and continued teasing her.

Now you're in fifth grade, both ten years old, but your relationship hasn't changed. Dania still loved to irritate you. Only now you've grown up and become more confident. Whereas before you'd simply complain, now you'd shove Dania back or trip him up. This caused you to argue almost every day.

Today after school you were walking home, wondering how to quickly change and relax. Suddenly your mom called you:

• Let's go home quickly, we have guests coming today.
  You were surprised because no one had come to see you for a long time. On the way home, you tried to guess who would come, but Mom didn't say anything.

When you arrived, you went straight to your room. You threw your backpack on the bed and started unpacking your books. At that moment, there was a knock on the door. You went out to see your mom. She opened the door and started greeting the woman you'd already seen. But then you noticed the man next to her.

You froze. Dania stood in front of you. He looked at you too, clearly in shock. You were about to go back, but Mom smiled.

"Here come the children! Go into your room for now, play together, and we'll make some tea."

You gave Danya a displeased look and went into the room. As soon as you entered, you abruptly closed the door and turned to face him.

• What the hell are you doing here?!

Dania laughed and sat on your bed.

"It must be fate," he said with a laugh. "I certainly didn't think our mothers would be friends. But today we have to pretend we are!"
