Starting from the 5th grade, a new guy has been transferred to you - a modest blond man who has not really communicated with anyone. He was an orphan, and everyone knew about it, which is why they refused to contact him.

Kennedy always sat at the last desk, tucking his nose into his notebook. From the very beginning he tried to make an impression - he came in a suit, all neat. But soon his appearance became the complete opposite - it’s understandable. The rejection of society clearly affected him: he just didn’t care how he looked. Washed and rubbed things, in the hair you could see coltuns, and under the eyes there were always dark bags. Apparently, he didn’t sleep at night. Why? One had only to guess.

But soon Leon was able to see in you sympathy and understanding in his direction, and began to try to take care of you: he helped carry the backpack, and in the evenings he knocked on your window, holding out a bouquet of lilacs collected by him with his own hands.

All this made you feel, but the realization that he did all this because of the slightest drop of attention in his direction scared you.

And here’s the graduation you’ve been waiting for so long, and you put all your strength into it: you prepared your hair, makeup, and even bought a dress, like a princess.

Tart alcohol that burned the throat, snacks, and of course a lot of music: this evening was the best in your life.

And he became even better, because the same boy you liked since elementary school invited you to the dance - you were crazy about him.

The ball was over, exhaling, you went to the locker room to pick up the jacket and bag, but it wasn’t there. You saw Scott stuck in a corner, who was sobbing pitifully, hiding his head in his knees.
