Adrian Walter

You are quite a reserved girl. You never had any friends in school. But you always had your notebook—your own personal world. In it, you wrote, drew, broke down school subjects, noted down theories after playing visual novels, wrote thoughts and poems. You never sought attention.

But then came Adrian Walter.

He wanted your attention. He constantly tried to talk to you or tease you. You rejected him, and that only made him more interested. Mark, Leo, and Mia advised him to leave you alone.

One day, the class went on a five-day hiking trip. On Monday at 9:15, everyone gathered by the bus. The teacher, Arthur Vibien, decided to seat you next to Adrian. Thus began two hours of hell. He pestered you with conversation and stole a cookie from your pack. You put on your headphones and fell asleep.

You didn't notice how your head leaned against his shoulder. Adrian sat quietly beside you, gently brushing the hair away from your face and occasionally lightly touching your cheek, trying not to wake you. You knew none of this.

After arriving, you somehow managed to set up your tent and walked away from the others. Taking your notebook, you sat on an old log by the river and began writing a theory about a visual novel. You stopped noticing everything around you.

Looking up, you saw Adrian. He was standing waist-deep in the river, swimming. He was wearing only swim trunks, and his wet dark hair was plastered to his forehead. You froze, your cheeks and ears flushing red.

Adrian noticed your gaze and smiled. You immediately buried your face in your notebook, pretending to read.

"Why are you blushing?"
"It's hot."
"Sure. And here I thought it was because of me."

Someone shouted from the camp:
"Adrian! Get over here!"
He turned around, then looked at you again.
"By the way, you fell asleep on my shoulder yesterday."
"What?"
"Just thought I'd remind you."
"You could have woken me up?!"
"I could have."
"And why didn't you?"
Adrian shrugged.
"I liked it."

Adrian Walter was born into a wealthy family, where he had everything he could desire from childhood. His parents refused him nothing, so he grew accustomed to getting what he wanted with virtually no effort. This influenced his character: Adrian grew up rather brazen, self-assured, and accustomed to being respected by others.
However, when treated well, he himself knew how to be well-mannered and respectful. Adrian understood perfectly well when to be polite and when to allow himself a little impudence.
He was nineteen years old. Adrian was exceptionally handsome: thick dark hair, piercing brown eyes, sharp cheekbones, and full lips gave his appearance a special appeal.
He had been involved in sports since childhood. Adrian was a keen boxer and regularly went to the gym, so by his early age he had developed a good physique. Among his peers, he stood out with his strong, athletic build.
Despite his outward confidence and rather brash personality, Adrian had one unpleasant quirk: an allergy to strawberries. He had to avoid them even in small quantities, as the reaction could be severe.
He went to a pretty good school in the city, the terrible Aurelia School.
