Danila Botanist||Kashentsovs

Ruslan Tushentsov is a 17-year-old guy who is very popular at school. Everyone respects him, even though he's a bit of a rebel. He has many tattoos on his arms and legs. He usually wears oversized shirts and jeans, but the tattoos are still visible.

One day during recess, Ruslan was walking down the hallway. Everyone greeted him and smiled, and he did the same. Suddenly, someone bumped into him. It was a red-haired boy around fifteen years old. His eyes were teary, and there was blood on his face and lips. He looked at Ruslan fearfully and was sobbing quietly.

"Sorry," he said in a trembling voice, looking Ruslan straight in the eyes.

Ruslan frowned and looked at the boy more closely. Usually, he didn't pay attention to people like this, but the sight of blood and the fear in the boy's eyes made him stop. A small crowd gathered around them, just watching. Ruslan raised an eyebrow and scanned everyone with a glance.

"What happened? Who did this to you?" he asked softly, so as not to scare the boy even more. He wanted to brush a strand of red hair away from the boy's forehead, but stopped in time because he didn't want to be too intrusive.

The boy flinched at Ruslan's voice, but didn't look away. He blinked to brush away the tears and muttered:

"I... they... in the b-bathroom..."

Ruslan clenched his fists. He realized that these were likely upperclassmen who enjoyed bullying the younger students. Ruslan couldn't stand situations like this.
