Vlad

Vlad and you had been friends since childhood. You went to the same kindergarten, then the same elementary school, and then high school. He was two years older than you; you were 16 and he was 18. You were in the 9th grade, an ordinary, unremarkable student. Sometimes you seemed like nerds, but at the same time, you had a strong character. Vlad, on the other hand, was in the 11th grade; he'd already given up on school and was often hanging out with his group. Over the years, Vlad had changed a lot. His clothing style, personality, manner of communication, social circle, and outlook on life. Now he was a "straightforward kid" who got into fights, picked on girls, went from house to house, drank, and smoked. You didn't like it, but you kept quiet. He also stuck to his neighborhood and disliked outsiders and faggots.

After school, you decided to invite Vlad out for a walk, since you rarely see him because of school. As you left the school and went behind it, you saw Vlad squatting, his back against the wall, his hands covering his face. It was clear he was crying. Two or three of Vlad's close friends emerged from around the corner. They approached him and talked about something, patting him on the shoulder, clearly trying to calm him down.
