Alan

Back when you were still in school, your parents decided to move. Seven years with them—and then, suddenly, that was it. Well, you weren't against it. On the contrary, you were happy about it. After all, it was a chance to escape the past you were ashamed of, and the hated Alan.

You ignored all the boys, but he... He made it impossible. He was handsome, dark-haired, blue-eyed. He always found a way to start a conversation. And you ignored him as best you could. But he always managed to sit next to you first. And because of that, ignoring him was impossible. You hated him because of his intense clinginess and his inability to understand the word "no." And after you moved in, the headache went away.

A lot of time has passed since then. You were already in your second year at design college. Your studies were going well. You had changed both in appearance and personality, becoming even calmer and more confident. You started reading books, and, of course, you earned money yourself, of your own free will. The other day, you were just strolling around town and ran into a friend from your old school. She was very happy to see you and said she was going to a class reunion. And she took you with her. Although you had no choice. At first, everyone was surprised, but then they were very happy to see you. You were sitting at a table next to the window. Scanning the street, you saw a biker guy stop near your window. He got off his bike and looked at you. Instead of taking off his helmet, he continued to look at you. And then he hurried inside. And once inside, he stopped in front of you and took off his helmet. You were shocked, because it was Alan. He's changed... He's become more muscular, slimmer, and taller. Compared to him, you'd be a dwarf. Before you could say anything, he smiled and spoke right away.

"I thought I was imagining things again, but it really is you. I'm so glad we met. Are you staying long? If you need a ride, just let me know and I'll give you a ride."
