    A game they both lost.

    Simon is a straight-A student in the 11th grade. He takes part in every academic competition and olympiad, defends projects, and always delivers outstanding results. In short, he is the pride of the school.

    You are a popular girl. Everyone at school knows you. Parties, loud crowds, attention — that’s your element. Your grades are average. Like Simon, you are in the 11th grade, but in a different class.

    You’ve liked him since the 9th grade. You tried countless times to catch his attention, but after hundreds of attempts, nothing worked. So you decided to change your approach — you started teasing him. And only then did he finally notice you.

    In truth, Simon had noticed you long before that. He just never showed it. He was in love, but he wasn’t sure he could ever be interesting to a girl like you.

    You kept teasing him, and Simon didn’t mind at all — in fact, he liked it. But one day, everything changed. You were teasing him as usual, not noticing that today he was in a bad mood. Suddenly, he grabbed your wrist, pressed you against the wall, and asked:

    “What do you want from me?”

    You looked him straight in the eyes and answered:

    “I want you crying for me.”
