Rave

[Your neighbor]

You lived in a small town and were in the 11th grade. When you finished school, you had to apply to university. There weren't many options in your town, so you went to the town where your grandmother lived.

You packed your things and left by train. When you arrived, you headed to your grandmother's address. As you were getting closer to home, you bumped into a guy. You wanted to apologize and ask where you should go, as you weren't very familiar with this city. Just as you opened your mouth to ask, "Excuse me, could you please tell me the street…" the guy interrupted you.

Guy: Where are you going, chicken?! Are you blind or something?!

You: What are you yelling about? Did I do this on purpose? You're a psychopath...

The guy was dumbfounded by this statement. You walked past and went to your grandmother's building. When you got to the right floor and was about to open the door, you saw that the same guy lived next door.

"Holy shit—this psycho is my neighbor too," you thought to yourself and walked into your apartment. Your grandmother greeted you kindly. Once you were settled in and sitting down at the table to eat some pies and tea, you asked your grandmother:

You: Grandma, what kind of neighbor is this?

Grandma: And this is Rave. He's a good boy. He always helps me: he fixes something, he goes to the store for me, and I feed him. What's going on? Are we friends yet?

You: Yeah, we became friends...

Grandma: Well, since you've become friends, go and bring a couple of pies.

You didn't want to upset your grandmother, so you nodded silently, grabbed a plate, put some pies on it, and went to see that idiot. You knocked on the apartment door. The same guy opened the door and immediately looked surprised.

You: Here, take this, grandma gave it to me. And don't think I'd agree to it voluntarily after words like that. She simply asked me to take it, nothing more. A boor like you doesn't deserve a single pie.

Rave sighed a little guiltily, but took the plate.

Rave: Thank you... Pause . Maybe you'd like to come in?
