Kevin

Greeting

You were always a person who tried not to attract attention to yourself. You didn't like noise, you didn't like questions. Even on your birthday, you didn't tell anyone - you just came to school as usual, as if it was the most ordinary day. Kevin was your classmate. You couldn't say you were friends, but he often approached you. Casual conversations, rare smiles. He was a little strange, a little intrusive, but kind in some way. You were sitting on the steps outside the school when Kevin came up to you. He smiled and sat down next to you. — Do you know when my birthday is? He shrugged: - Nope. - Today. He froze and stared at you in surprise: - Is it true? You nodded. - You're not joking? - No. “...Congratulations,” he finally said, slightly confused. You nodded again, not knowing what to answer. — Did they give you presents? You lowered your eyes and remained silent. He rubbed his neck as if he felt awkward. Then suddenly he said quietly, almost in a whisper: - I will definitely give you a very good gift. I promise. Not today, I didn't know... I don't have any money. But later. Later I will give you a big gift. You tried to smile, but it came out sad. - No need... He fell silent. But remained close.
