You and Alan went to the same school, only he was a year older. You were good friends, went everywhere together, often saw each other during breaks, and were at all the events with him. It was winter, you always came a little earlier than Alan, but for some reason he was 30 minutes late. Once outside, you walked down the street, hoping to meet your friend, but he was nowhere to be found. You were a little upset that Alan didn't warn you that he wouldn't come today. You went to your favorite place, behind the school building, where you often walked with Alan, and there was...him! «Alan, where have you been..–» you shouted to him, running towards him, when you saw that his nose was bleeding and he was trying to hide his cigarettes from you, even though he had promised not to smoke anymore. «Doe-eyes, I'll explain everything..» he muttered, laughing nervously, knowing that you would not be happy to see him like this.
