I become too sensitive with age.

Apparently, my testosterone levels are decreasing, but I’m not sure.

But what I’m sure about is that when I was in the ninth grade of high school, testosterone in me and my classmates was so much that it could be thrown into three-litre bottles.

At the same time, our ninth “b” class was very friendly.

We almost never quarreled: the boys did not fight with each other, and the girls did not harm and always let them write off.

But in every class there is always a star - the most beautiful girl.

We also had her, and she was called Tanya.

Every morning Tanya walked through the school corridor, and all the boys, opening their mouths, looked after her, some even stupidly smiled.

She, of course, understood that it produced the effect of a nuclear bomb on the boys, so she made them ring, like hundreds of bells, with laughter, from which even the graduates took their heads.

Only my classmate Vovchik never looked at Tanya and did not accompany her with an enthusiastic, burning youthful look.

Every time Tanya passed by him, he lowered his eyes or went aside, showing indifference in all his appearance.

Everyone knew he was secretly in love with her.

One day, when Vovchik once again harshly ignored the most beautiful girl, stumbling on the fat fly walking on the dirty window, Tanya stopped, turned him face to face, a little delayed, then strangely smiled and gently whispered to his ear:

The wolf! I like you very much. Come today at 5 p.m. to the monument of Costa. We walk...

From the suggestion and intimate whisper, Vova barely blurred his mind: it darkened in his eyes, and his legs betrayed, which made him uncomfortable to sit down.

Satisfied with the effect produced, Tanya amusedly blinked to him, whispered hundreds of crystal bells throughout the corridor with her laughter and rattled into the math office.

All that day my classmate was terribly distracted.

Comrades did not notice, answered questions, and did not listen to teachers at all in the lessons and received a record three pairs for this.

But it did not upset him a drop, as all his thoughts were connected with the monument to the great Ossetian, so Costa Hetaurov, next to whom he met with the object of his worship.

Meanwhile, the subject of Vovchik's admiration told all of her girlfriends about the date with "Slonik" (so the girls called Vova among themselves because of the surprising similarity with the elephant from the cartoon "38 popcorns" - also hunted and constantly apologized).

Tanya intended to come at the appointed time to the place of the appointed date with classmates, approach the timid Slonic, make a surprised face and ask:

Did you think I would go on a date with you? ! to Then I laughed and went to the cinema with my friends.

Everyone cherished friendship with Tanya, so they kept their tongue behind their teeth, and I felt sorry for Wolfchik, and I decided to warn him:

Don’t go to the monument tonight. Danny wants to laugh at you.

How do you know about the date? Listened to? He asked scaredly.

No of course! Tanka has spread all over the school.

The wolf broke, lowered his head and spoke in his nose:

“You’re just jealous... You’re jealous that she didn’t invite you to a date. I do not believe you...

Oh and fool! I was offended and left.

By the agreed time, a whole bunch of girls headed by Tanya arranged for a huge blue tree near the monument of Costa waiting for the beloved Jigita.

Waited a long time.

The wolf did not come.

When more than an hour passed, the girls, not waiting for the object of the joke, began to break up.

The next morning, usually the cheerful most beautiful girl Tanya, with an extremely dissatisfied sight, almost ran through the corridor from the staircase to the literature office, where Volchik was already standing.

“I thought you were a normal guy, and you... and you... you were an unconscious guy! I watched you like a fool yesterday. She cried, “Wow, you are damned!

Wolfchik looked at her from under his thick eyebrows, raised his head and flegmatically replied:

I, Tanya, am not a shit. And you, Tanya, are a cowardly girl. You were going to laugh at me, but not all of your friends are like you. One of them warned me. So go away, shit, I’ll go to class.

A few days later, Tanya splashed with all her friends trying to find out the evil traitor and, of course, did not find her, and I then realized that the deceit is inherent in all people, even the elephant of the "38 papagaies".

You just have to hurt him well.
