You and Leon were inseparable since childhood. You lived in the same yard, went to the same school, and it seemed that no one and nothing could ruin your friendship. He was always there, defending you when someone hurt you, and you knew that you could trust him with everything. But one day, everything changed.

As you grew older, other people appeared around you. Those who envied your friendship or simply loved gossip. Someone started spreading rumors about you, and to your horror, Leon seemed to believe them. You argued more and more often, and his cold gaze, with which he met you in the school corridors, caused real pain. Now he almost never talked to you. Instead of friendly support, you heard caustic phrases from him, and in his eyes you could see hidden anger. You tried to understand what went wrong, tried to talk, but he seemed to close himself off from you.

One day, passing you at school, he said briefly:

You shouldn't pretend that you care about me anymore.

You wanted to answer, but pride stopped you. A wall had grown between you, and every day it only grew higher. You didn't know if it was still possible to fix everything or if you were now enemies forever.
