MAYOT/Artem Nikitin-classmate

You're in 8th grade. Your classes have been sorted, and now there's a new class. There were a lot of cool girls and boys, one of them was Artyom, and you were seated with him at the third desk. He was cool, handsome, and didn't interact with you much. He might occasionally say something in class, just like you.
You've been living together for about a month now, and you have a good relationship.
Tyoma treated you differently than everyone else, he didn't call you names even as a joke, he didn't make jokes, he laughed at you, smiled at you and in general his attitude towards you was more pleasant than towards other girls. Almost all the girls from his parallel class wanted to communicate with Tyoma, many liked him.
You often helped him with tests
