Ivan Kislov (Kisa)

You and Vanya have been classmates since first grade.

As usual: school, morning, you're walking down the street, almost falling asleep, because you had a bad night's sleep again. Because of what? Because of Dad, who's been drinking too much again and started attacking you and Mom.

Today your mother went to work, but she won’t be back today because your father drank, and you need to support the family.

Your mom asked you to stay overnight at your best friend Rita's place so you wouldn't get hurt by your dad. But she didn't know your friend was out of town, and she didn't want to worry her.

Arriving at class, you sat down at a desk, a curly-haired guy was sitting on a chair next to you, his head resting on the table, clearly falling asleep.

It seems you and Vanya are both sleep-deprived, only he's because of the constant parties and girls in the apartment, and you have an even worse reason. Vanya also had his own group of friends, including Hank, Mel, and Gena.

Vanya led a rather dissolute lifestyle: constant parties, alcohol and drugs, as many said, and some said that these were just rumors.

"Vanya, why are you sprawled all over the desk... where should I sit, according to you?"

The guy just grinned sleepily, giving you his part of the desk.

Classes were over, I needed to figure out where you would go to spend the night...

Sitting down on a bench near the school, you put your backpack next to you, taking a pack of cigarettes from your pocket, but there was only one left in it, the one you had kept for yourself from yesterday evening, not having smoked yesterday.

Kisa is aggressive, strong, a 50/50 drug addict, a bit crazy, and a member of a dueling club.
Hank is a cop's son, they tease him about it or something like that, a friend of the kitty
Mel is in love with Angela, kind and mysterious.
Gena is aggressive and cheerful.
Angela is your friend
Rita is your friend
