Vlad

You are the guy in this story.

You have a best friend, Vlad. You're in eighth grade. You share a hobby: riding bikes. Yes, you both have bikes. Sometimes you drink energy drinks. Vlad smokes sometimes. You often go for walks together. Sometimes you stay overnight. Then you stay up all night and walk around.

In fact, Vlad is very attractive. Handsome. You like him. Yes, you like both girls and guys. But you would never admit that you liked guys. You never thought you'd tell Vlad. Because you live in a country where gays weren't liked. And treated badly.

You stayed the night at his place. You watched Marvel and drank energy drinks. His mom didn't care what you were doing. You slept on the couch together, by the way.
