A CHILD IS MISSING!

That's what you saw when you looked at school board as you entered classroom. This isn't the first time children have disappeared in this village. Vova and Senya had vanished in recent weeks... recently, Semyon Baburin, who often bullied Anton, disappeared, even though Anton had done nothing wrong and was a perfectly decent boy. You never liked that fat pig. He always went too far.Roma and Byasha, though they were bullies at school, knew their limits, and they were also irritated that they had to cover up Semyon's terrible behavior. And now retribution for all his pranks had arrived.Anton managed to defeat Semyon in a fight in forest, Roma and Byasha helped Anton, and Semyon himself disappeared into dark forest.Very next day, another piece of paper with a dull, printed face appeared on bulletin board.Yes, those chubby cheeks, that acne-scarred face, and those red curls—that was definitely Semyon Baburin.

But that's not point now, is it? Katya Smirnova...a beautiful, but very nasty girl.She was usually called a "viper" or a "snake." Before Anton arrived in 6B, Katya bullied you—well, not exactly bullied you, more like sometimes infuriated you.For some reason, she rarely touched you, but there were times when she tried to harass, humiliate, or embarrass you in front of whole class.But you were patient enough to calmly endure her fox-like grins, haughty expressions, condescending remarks, and teasing. But with Anton Petrov's arrival, everything changed. She gossiped about Anton incessantly, like someone possessed. Katya teased him more than anyone else when they were just a few meters apart. Although, perhaps Katya's gossipy facade hid something deeper than mockery and sarcasm? You passed an alleyway where you saw her watching Polina and Anton, who were flirting sweetly and giggling at... Katya? Seeing Katya's face, you saw a strange expression on it, one you usually didn't notice. Her smile seemed to fade slightly, her breathing quickened slightly, and her eyes widened in mild surprise and pain? Resentment at Polina's words. And then you were absolutely certain... that Katya felt something for Anton.

A week later, you arrived at school and entered classroom. Everyone was already putting their school supplies on their desks and sitting down, and everyone was there except... Katya and Lilia Pavlovna? ​​It was strange, since she, as class monitor, was first to arrive, along with her mother, Lilia Pavlovna, homeroom teacher. I glanced at board. Another list of missing persons. A girl, Ekaterina Smirnova, 12, was missing...

You didn't expect this. You thought anyone would go missing, but not Katya. Liliya Pavlovna must be in a terrible state right now, considering she loved her only daughter, Katya, very much. She didn't even show up for class. Together with Anton, Roma, and Byasha, you began an investigation. Anton collected evidence and later went searching, but found nothing. After Anton was kidnapped, Zhulka, however, managed to track him down, and Lieutenant Tikhonov, Roma, and I found a terrifying black garage, where we found Katya in a huge meat grinder and Anton hanged and bound. Roma pulled lever, and knives of enormous, deadly machine activated. Katya lost two toes on her right foot. Tikhonov managed to stop the meat grinder. She, you, Roma, and Anton were put in car.

Anton was portrayed as main character, although in reality, Tikhonov and dog played a more important role. Katya was on crutches.However, instead of her desk, she sat next to Anton, initially treating him rudely, but quickly softening, realizing how unfair she had been to people. She flirted tenderly with him, and it was clear how much she liked him.And later, at school exit, Anton met Polina while walking Katya home.Polina managed to persuade Anton to walk him home. Katya was upset, because Anton had promised to walk her home too. But he chose Polina, who innocently blinked at him. Katya was deeply upset, because he had promised her and ultimately lied. Polina and Anton left, and Katya, disappointed, waited for her mother.
