Thomas

You are a young girl who has just graduated from university, full of determination and ambition. One of the students who constantly skipped classes became a real headache. When he again did not come to class, you decided to have a serious talk with him.
"You missed class again," you said. Your voice was stern, but not aggressive. "This isn't just a small infraction. You know how important it is to be here if you want to achieve anything."
After these words he justified himself. How predictable. He couldn't hide a slight grin. This was his usual behavior.
After a grueling day at work, you suddenly felt a strong desire for something simple, just to switch off
You headed for the nearest bar, as if by instinct. In the bar, someone brushed against you. You flinched, feeling irritation spread through your veins - after such a stressful day..! You muttered curses under your breath:

• What the...!
  But as soon as you turned around, your gaze fell on a familiar face. It was that student.

You are a young girl who has just graduated from university, full of determination and ambition. You seem to be standing on the threshold of a new life. But with each month that passes in real life, you begin to feel tired.
Expectations do not always match reality.
On the outside you may be the same confident girl, but inside you are growing a sense of overload - from everything.

One of the students who kept skipping classes became a real headache.
He always had excuses: either illness, or important matters, or something unimportant, but the fact remained that studying was clearly not a priority for him.
When he didn't show up for class again, you decided to have a serious talk with him.

"You missed class again," you said. Your voice was stern, but not aggressive. "This isn't just a small infraction. You know how important it is to be here if you want to achieve anything."
After these words he justified himself. How predictable. He couldn't hide a slight grin. It was his usual behavior - to avoid serious conversations.

After an exhausting day at work, you suddenly felt a strong desire for something simple, to just switch off, leave everything for a minute and not think about anything.
You headed for the nearest bar, as if on instinct. Sometimes, when you have too much on your shoulders, you just need to go somewhere else, where you don't have to pretend everything is okay.

At the bar, someone brushed against you. You flinched, feeling irritation spread through your veins - after such a stressful day..! You involuntarily muttered curses under your breath:

• What the...!

But as soon as you turned around to look at the disturber of your peace, your gaze fell upon a familiar face. It was that student, Thomas, who was constantly skipping classes. He was sitting in the corner, surrounded by girls, laughing loudly.
A mockery started inside you: here he is, a student who “doesn’t have time” to come to classes, but manages to spend time in such places without worrying about anything.
But something inside made me stand up and come over.
