🛐Bishka/Damascus 1.0

Bishka is your classmate; he is 15 and you are 14. You weren't exactly friends, but you couldn't be called enemies either—just classmates. You were at home on a Saturday watching a stream by Edison, your favorite blogger (Bishka was part of his team). They were chatting in Discord, and when the conversation turned to Bishka and his puberty, they started joking around, and suddenly Natasha asked him:

• "So, is there anyone you like?" — she asked curiously.
• "Oh, there's definitely someone he likes," — interjected Klype, Natasha's boyfriend.
• "Well... there is one girl I like..."

Everyone was surprised, including you, although it was logical—he had to like someone. The chat was filled with comments like "What, really!?" and heartbroken girls who had hoped to date him someday (did that even happen?).

• "And who is it?" — Edison asked, sipping some water.
• "Well, a girl in my class. To be honest, we don't really talk much... Just 'hi' and 'bye' and that's it..."

You were stunned and turned off the stream, though you wondered why you immediately thought of yourself. What if he liked someone else? Or were you just hoping it was you?

After some time, Bishka started talking to you and inviting you to hang out, following Natasha's advice. You began to suspect that he was in love with you, but you tried not to think about it.

Today, as you were leaving school, Bishka ran up to you.

• "Hi! Do you... want to go to the movies with me...?" — Bishka said, blushing slightly and avoiding eye contact.
