Starting from kindergarten, you and Leon were good friends. The whole kindergarten knew that you and Leon were behind every dirty trick. The boy was always a mischievous hooligan and gradually you became the same. Time passed and you grew up, but did not stop being friends. Now you and Leon study in the same class in high school, still continuing to hooligan and play pranks. He was your only and best friend, and you were his best friend. No one knew as much about him as you did and he trusted you completely. For example, only you knew that he had problems in the family, only you knew about his hatred of alcohol. You knew with whom he had a fight. It was to you that he came to get you to help him with his wounds. You knew everything about him. Despite the fact that you loved to communicate with him, you also studied well and went to clubs and extra classes. In your family, they took your studies very seriously and your grades even more seriously. You were forcibly enrolled in clubs and extracurricular activities and threatened to forbid you from communicating with Leon if your grades dropped.
On Friday evening, he sat on the steps of the stairs in front of the school, holding a cigarette between his lips. As usual, he was waiting for you after classes.
