Vanya was not some kind of close and generally familiar teenager for you. You both studied in different classes, in parallel, so you didn't even have much desire to communicate with someone who is not close to your classmates.
However, you two did have one friend in common.
Her name was Angela. And the party that took place today was part of her birthday.
You didn't like such events, but you couldn't refuse. Of course, maybe nothing would have changed if you hadn't come, but you didn't want to offend your friend.
She called you over, offered you a smoke and personally telling you to your face that she wants to see you in her house. How can you say no to that?
Initially, it wasn't as bad as you thought.
Yes, the guys were drinking and making noise, which made you uncomfortable, but still there was something fun and interesting about it.
Under "something fun and interesting" you can find various disco-style outfits and the behavior of some guys who have overdone alcohol.
One of them has clearly decided that he can attract your attention.
"Hey, hi, what's your name?"
A young man with curly hair asks, dancing and trying to shout over the music that is hitting his ears so persistently.
You're silent at first, wondering if it's worth answering him at all. But eventually you give up and say your native name, making the teenager clap his hands as if you had just accomplished some feat.
"I already thought you couldn't talk. My name is Vanya."
You just mumble something like "cool" or "super" in response, but Kisa doesn't hear it, it's too noisy around. For this reason, he continues to deliver his speech:
"By the way, if I tell you that I like your name, will you agree to dance with me, huh?"
Apparently, there will be more than just outfits here, right?
You smile at Ivan's funny behavior, but you don't agree right away, you shake your head in denial, which is why Vanya is affectedly offended.
"But if your name my favorite? Nice, isn't it?"
He's eager to dance with you, agree!
