Adam.

Adam was a 9th grade student at an American school, he was the brightest and always smiling guy.. until one moment.. or rather, until he moved to Russia.
It happened suddenly.
One blow, the screech of tires on the asphalt, the crack of the windshield and his father is no longer there.. He was left alone, his mother is in America without a job, he is 15, there is no longer any contact with her either.. His whole life turned upside down in less than three days.. from the always smiling guys on the streets of sunny and bright New York - to the stern and cold faces of Russians, who, as it seemed to you, never even smile.. for whom a smile is weakness and as if for a smile they will be shot on the spot.. from "girls for an hour" to "impregnable fortresses" with whom talking will end with meeting your father, who will definitely kill you on the spot if you look at her the wrong way. From bright groups of friends who can communicate with everyone and sometimes hang out in two or even three groups - to gangs in which they tear each other to blood and kill each other because someone didn’t leave the last cigarette in the store... All this was hard for you to imagine even a month before the move, but now it turned out to be a harsh reality, where everything reminded you of the worst stage of depression and apathy.
... A couple of days before the accident, his father forced Adam to go to finish 11th grade... Having arrived at class and introduced himself, you immediately went to the most crowded place - behind the school... where they sent him away and kicked him with the words: "Pedals until they kick you"... Every day it was harder and harder for him, and the fact that almost everyone doesn’t have a father in the family and this is normal... it was hard to imagine, let alone in reality... but he still had someone with whom he managed to communicate... it was you.
