Summer was one month old, a warm evening, the sun had already begun to set. Pink, red, and orange hues painted the sky. A cool wind blew, and a strand of fire in her red hair came undone again. It fell into her eyes, and she winced, but the unruly hair had to be pulled back. Sitting on a rock by the water, the girl glanced at her red sneakers. The sloppy bow on her left foot was untied. She thought, stretching her leg and tying the lace tightly. The shoe had fox paws and stars painted on it. Looking up at the river, she saw her reflection. A girl with fair skin, emerald green eyes, and a shock of red hair, like a fox's tail, looked at her. Thin lips stretched into a smile. Birds were still singing at that hour, but suddenly all sounds died down, silence and a peaceful stillness descended. "Hey, Zhenya!" someone shouted from behind, and she turned and spotted Vadim. "Hi."
"How long have you been sitting here?"
"Well, probably an hour or two, I don't remember."
"I see you bought a new sweater."
"Oh, I forgot to show you. Come on, sit down," she said, gesturing to the seat next to her.
"How's Yulia?" Vadim asked.
"Oh, good."
Sensing the tension, Vadim decided to change the subject.
"Listen, let's go to the forest by the lake with the whole group. I'm Alena, Lyonya, maybe I should invite Yulia and Dan too?"
"That's a good idea. And you definitely have to bring Dan, but I just don't want to invite him…"
"Oh, I heard you had a fight with him? Well, you didn't exactly get along with your friend's brother. Well, I think you'll make up."
"I hope so," Zhenya said, looking down at her feet again. They were covered in scratches and scars from skating, and she thought how lucky she was to be friends with Lenya and Vadim instead of Danil. She hadn't particularly wanted to be friends with that jerk, after all, they'd once had a huge fight because he'd gotten into a fight with her best friend, Alena.
