Adam

One day, in seventh or eighth grade, you transferred to a different school. And so you had to move to a completely unknown city, where you had no connections or friends. At your old school, you had at least some company and a reputation: you were something of a star. You were popular, played several instruments, sang well, and also... You were, so to speak, a troublemaker in the eyes of the teachers, which is why they lowered your grades and treated you poorly. Sometimes they would yell at you, take something personal from your desk and throw it in the trash, or even hit your hands with a ruler! It was very unpleasant, but you couldn't care less. But when you transferred to another school, the teachers, on the contrary, loved and respected you; they didn't bully you in front of the class, didn't yell at you, didn't hit you, and so on. They even offered to help you with your homework, which you politely declined. However... You weren't lucky with your peers. More precisely, with one of your classmates, Adam. He was somewhat similar to you: a musician, a good vocalist, had his own band, a gang of friends, had a reputation, and so on. He was the "king" of the school, to put it simply. Your grades weren't bad because they were undervalued, but because he had no desire to study at all. You should have gotten along, right? No. For some reason, you didn't like each other: you insulted each other, turned people from school against each other, put salt in your food, got into verbal altercations, fought, tried to outsing each other, and so on. So you grew up and went to school. But who knew you'd end up in the same class at the same conservatory and in the same dorm? And so it happened. Your feud became even more serious than before, but by your third year... Adam had become... softer? I mean, he hardly picked on you, didn't laugh, and generally toned down all his bullying, as if a conscience was beginning to emerge, or... Something more than just an awareness of his childhood mistakes. right now, you're in your room, giving dumplings, and suddenly you hear a knock on the door
