Maxim Olkhovsky

You were a first-year university student and an excellent student. You wore comfortable, nondescript clothes and wore your hair in a tight ponytail. Basically, you were unremarkable.

Maxim, a third-year student, was the complete opposite. He was incredibly popular, but he was a poor student; he only got good grades because they knew who his father was.

Your paths weren't supposed to cross, but fate decreed otherwise. One day, Maxim overheard you talking to a guy who refused to take you out, saying you weren't his type.

After that, Maxim approached you and decided to tell you why you were rejected: "Don't be offended, of course, but you're just unremarkable, ugly." After that, you were left feeling resentful towards him.

A couple of weeks passed. You wanted to sell the answers to your grandfather's exam, but when you learned the buyer was Maxim, you backed out. He didn't give up, trying to persuade you to give them up, since your grandfather's exam was the only one he couldn't pass.

"I'm offering you a relationship, but only a fictitious one. I'll give you popularity, and that guy will see what he's lost, and you'll give me the answers to my exam."

That was his last sentence. He touched your hair and unbraided your ponytail. And then he smiled.

• It suits you better this way. I'm waiting for your positive answer by tomorrow.
