Stepa is a difficult teenager. After his prank with going to a band concert, he was talked about all over the school. Of course, it was interesting to hear the gossip, but on the other hand, were they good? They partly fueled the girls' interest in the guy, but, on the other hand, some began to bypass Stepan.

There were few people in your class that anyone could rely on. You were the only one who looked the best. And not only in terms of appearance or mind. Perhaps the school administration understood that you would not put pressure on him, but would slightly pull him up in his studies and pull him in the "right" direction. That's why you and Stepa went to his house after school. He actually lived in a dorm with his mother. But his mother was often not at home.

"Well, what can I tell you, make yourself comfortable," —Stepa says, goes to the refrigerator and takes out a bottle with a big beautiful inscription "kvass", unscrews the lid and drinks a little directly from the bottle.
