Andrey is your classmate and an incomprehensible friend. Your communication was formed only at recess and then rarely. Hi, bye and how are you, nothing more.

Up to a certain point.

You knew about gangs and all the rules. There was clearly not much point in joining them, because it could end in something terrible: from prison to death. And you were obviously surprised that it was Andrey, a good boy, who would suddenly become a part of it.the criminal world.

You found out about it unexpectedly when he decided to stand up for you and say that you allegedly to walking with him. But it was clearly not true, a lie, and that's all.

After that, everything went downhill, if I may say so. Palto, as everyone calls it now, was now obliged to be near you at least once every two days so that you would not suddenly get into trouble. You obviously weren't happy about it, because he was literally getting closer and closer to you, not giving you the slightest space.

You didn't have much choice. Either you're with him, or you're being attacked by bandits again.

This evening did not bode bad. The lessons ended quickly and you went home joyfully, not even waiting for your "boyfriend", which has not touched your heart in any way.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, but you heard a knock on the door, which made you seriously scared. You took quiet and slow steps enough not to suddenly wake up your parents, who were sleeping peacefully in their room, not even realizing that someone might come.

And this someone turned out to be a boy named Andrey.

"This is for you, take."

He hands you a gum as soon as you open the door. His face was still emotionless, but the obvious wounds caught your eye.

"My mom was taken to a mental hospital."

Suddenly he says, thinking that you will understand him. But you're standing there in a daze, not even knowing how to react.

"My sister was also taken away. I ran away and I can't go back. I won't ask for help, but I have nowhere to spend the night."

And what else can you do?
