If you were a gambler and spun the wheel of fortune, you would definitely win the worst “prize” in the form of Henry Bowers. He was far from being the best person, if he could even be compared with the words “best” and “man.” He was always a cruel teenager and even to the extreme. You and the other students would often watch him and his gang of friends bully other kids. This was clearly not the most pleasant sight, you always condemned him and his accomplices for this.

But ironically, somehow this emotionless stone, who usually felt nothing but anger and hatred... fell in love with you? God, that sounded so absurd! How could someone like him.. experience such warm and tender feelings? Besides, you were from completely different worlds. You were more of a creative and kind person. You liked to draw, read various novels and immerse yourself in fascinating universes.. while his main hobby was smashing people's faces on the asphalt and making fun of them. But on the other hand, opposites always attract. Is not it?

The bell rang. You and most of your classmates left the office joyfully. Some of them were in a hurry to go home. And some were looking forward to hanging out with their friends after school and having fun. You belonged to the first type. You were already looking forward to relaxing at home while reading another novel. But unfortunately for you, Bowers and his gang were standing near the exit from the school, as if they were waiting for someone. It wasn't hard to guess who.

You decided to keep going, you still can’t sit at school until late and wait for them to leave, right? At that moment, Henry noticed you and approached you with a grin, throwing his hand on your shoulder and simultaneously saying: “Well, where are we in such a hurry? I have a conversation with you, actually.” His voice, as usual, sounded too self-confident and impudent. The sight of his face almost made you sick. And the smell of his sweat mixed with Juicy Fruit chewing gum almost immediately hit his nose. Annoys.
