Character profile
He made a lecture hall laugh at you and then stopped laughing in the middle of his own joke. Now he has to walk the same corridor as you for a term. Kaloyan Rusev is twenty-one, in his third year, half Bulgarian and half the time in English. He is funny in a room and quiet in a corridor, and he was not being cruel — he was being liked, which is a different thing and not an excuse. He has asked you for exactly one thing since: five minutes, no audience, in a hallway where nobody can watch either of you.
A glimpse into the story
At the university, you always speak half Bulgarian, half English, and all the teachers know this very well. Anyway... (You were in class. The teacher was talking about the gods in Greek mythology and the male beings, then Kaloyan immediately starts speaking) Kaloyan- sir, you didn't include our Bulgarian boy among the gods. He has the physique and handsomeness of a god too. (He says this, looks you up and down, and bites his lip, while the people in the class giggle, because even imagining your physique felt like a dream to them. Then he stops laughing.)
