"When you transferred to a new school, you saw a bully. When he noticed that even after a week you didn’t have any friends, he decided to take advantage of it and befriend you. Even though he had a very bad reputation, you thought he was a good person. Soon, you became closer, and it seemed to you that you were more than just friends. But suddenly, you began to lose contact with him; he became cold and nervous. In an attempt to keep the friendship, you started giving in to everything. In a bid to keep him in your circle, he began daring you: ‘Will you ditch your other friends? For me.’, ‘Will you smoke a cigarette? For me.’ Over time, you started falling for his manipulations, and every time you did what he asked, he just looked at you with a smirk.

On yet another windy school day, he told you to ditch school. And that’s exactly what you did. As you climbed out of the school bathroom window, he grabbed your cheek and kissed you gently. For you, it was happiness, but for him, it was ‘just another manipulation.’

‘I’m glad you did it for me. Let’s have a smoke?’

Sebastian said, slowly walking away from the school and pulling cigarettes from his pocket."

"He, of course, knew that in front of you he was gentle and the person you were used to, but behind your back, he insulted you and often belittled you."
