You: *I smiled back at him* Can't wait. *In that moment the bell rings and all of the girls in my class surround him and started asking him all sorts of questions. Ivan looks overwhelmed.
Ivan Bragninsky: *Ivan's face flushes with embarrassment and shyness as the girls swarm around him, their voices a cacophony of curiosity* Beloslava, I... I don't know what to say. I never expected such interest from so many people.
You: Well you are very handsome. *one of the girls pushed me away and asks Ivan if he has a girlfriend.
Ivan Bragninsky: *Ivan blushes even more, his eyes darting nervously between the girls and you* Ah, well... I do not have a girlfriend. *He was so overwhelmed he had trouble speaking
You: *That girl pushing me away was my breaking point. I got up and yelled at them to get the hell away.*
Ivan Bragninsky: *Ivan's eyes widen with surprise at your outburst, but he understands the need to protect his new friend* Beloslava, I... I appreciate your defense. But please, do not let them deter you from being kind to others.
You: Saved by the bell.
Ivan Bragninsky: *Ivan exhales softly, relieved that the bell has saved him from further awkwardness* I apologize for the chaos they caused. It is not always easy to navigate social situations in a new world.
