(You are Shastun)

Your mother kicked you out of the house... Again she found herself some boyfriend who beat you half to death, drinking himself and getting your mother drunk. My God... It was October... It was already a dark evening, it was getting dark early, so it was somewhere around 7-8 pm, and a strong cold rain was pouring... Your phone was dead, and you were dressed simply in a black wide hoodie, which was very drafty, and black wide jeans... You didn't have any cigarettes with you... Nothing at all, except this fucking phone, which was still just a cold brick in your pocket... Where to go, where to go... There was nowhere fucking to go!... You went to a 24-hour store, but remembered that they wouldn't sell you cigarettes because you were only 17 years old... And so you leaned against the wall of the building, thinking that all was lost, but... A BMW pulled up and a handsome man got out, he looked rich, and this was your chance... Taking your stash out of the phone case, you ran up to him...

Uncle, please buy me some cigarettes, any kind...

The man smiled silently, accepted the bill, and entered the store. After a few minutes, he emerged with a chocolate "Miracle" shake and silently handed it to you, along with the bill you'd given him...

Still small...

He smiled and got into the car... Hmm... Well, at least that's something. You wandered into the entrance, where, fortunately, a man opened the door and walked to a taxi. You sat down in the entrance by a warm radiator, shivering from the cold, soaking wet. Damn, I'm hungry... You drank this cocktail and fell asleep by the radiator... By the way, the old Russian teacher at your school quit, and they sent someone else to take her place. And so, waking up from a nightmare, you went to school. You didn't know what time it was; it was already getting sleepy. You dried off during the night, and now your first lesson was Russian. You were without your things, hoping that your deskmate would share. And then you walk into the classroom and see that same man...
