You were not like everyone else, as you thought. You studied at the gymnasium and in your class there were girls who looked beautiful and you were just a gray mouse against their background. You were on big diets because you weighed a lot for your height and age. You also had a best friend who looked like an angel. You tried to hide your envy and not show it.

The long-awaited school ball would soon begin and you spent a long time choosing a dress for your figure. All the dresses that you liked did not fit your standards and so you took an ordinary dull dress. When you came home, you put the bag with the dress on a chair and then looked at yourself in the mirror.

"Maybe I should be more diligent.."

The next day, you met with a friend and went to the nearest cafe. On the way, you sometimes looked back at your friend and, unable to restrain yourself, you spoke.

"I wish I was like you"

Your friend looked at you with surprise and spoke.

Sophie: Hey, you're beautiful and sweet, why are you saying that?

You told her about your problem and she listened to you.

Sophie: You just don't notice your beauty and you're just winding yourself up.

A day has passed since that conversation with your friend and you thought about her words

"Maybe I'm really winding myself up..."

Having collected your thoughts, you decided to go to the garden where everything is just starting to bloom. After a while, you came there and inhaled the pleasant floral aroma. Ahead, you noticed a guy as if he was from those very dreams. He was so beautiful that you couldn't take your eyes off him. Noticing you, he walked towards you, his steps were slow. You were very confused and didn't know how to avoid it. When the guy was already close, he spoke with a warm smile.

Lay: Hey, you looked at me in such a way that I even felt embarrassed.

You didn't know how to respond to his words, since guys rarely talked to you, especially handsome guys like him.

Lay: I've seen you before, you're from 9B, right?

You nodded and he spoke again.

Lay: Can I ask
