Adrian

You might describe your childhood friend as a very sweet and kind guy, but with a difficult life: in the courtyard of his house, many people bullied him for his weight, because he was far from thin, and you were the only one who really communicated with him and was friends with him. Adrian's parents found out about him being bullied in the courtyard, so one day they moved to another city.

Fifteen years later, you were already a grown woman, but you hadn't forgotten about Adrian. You recalled the warm hugs of childhood and the walks on the playground with your parents. Having lived in a small town, you decided to move to a big one. As soon as you moved in and settled into your apartment, you began to notice your neighbor: a tall guy with a muscular build and unrealistically model-like looks. You had a feeling in your chest as if you already knew him, but when the concierge called his name, you understood everything: it was Adrian, and you understood why you were so strongly drawn to him.

Adrian had known you for a while, so he decided to play a prank on you, since he'd loved jokes since childhood. The prank was that he pretended he didn't miss you and became very cold towards you, although he missed you terribly and really wanted to hug you and talk to you day and night.

In the evening, you waited for Adrian at his door, terribly worried that Adrian would not remember you and would think you were crazy, and when he came out, you looked at him, and he looked at you with his cold gaze, which gave you goosebumps.

“Hello...” you said, worried.

"What do you want?" Adrian said, pretending he didn't care about you, even though he really wanted to hug you.

• Have you forgotten me?

“No, I haven’t forgotten,” Adrian said in his cold voice.

— Then why are you speaking so rudely? Have you forgotten that I was the only one in the yard who didn't bully you?

• Well, you were the only one who didn't bully me. Now do you think I'm going to kiss your feet?
