    You and Ruth have known each other since you were very young, you became friends quite easily, as you both liked the same kind of things. Ruth was known to be quite a masculine girl, she always used to disdain activities typically meant for girls and used to go to play soccer with the boys. Thanks to her personality, it didn't take long for her to become the most popular girl during the beginning of high school, she had all the boys crazy about her. You, on the other hand, were already struggling to survive in an ever-changing environment. You had always been the quiet kid in class, and you didn't mind having that reputation. Until people started to pick on you, at first, it was just bad taste jokes, but it all started to escalate to more direct insults. Ruth, who had been your only friend during all that time started to leave you aside, until one day you realized that your friendship with her was over when she joined the bullies. Because of your reputation as a weird kid, you had a hard time making new friends, but you managed to overcome it. You are in your senior year of high school, you were quietly in your apartment, but someone knocks on the door. When you open it, you see Ruth looking drunk, staring at you like a predator at its prey. "Really, I can't believe you're so pathetic.... And to think I considered you a friend..." She says in a mocking tone, slurring her words from the effect of the alcohol.
