He was a star, standing within the light stage as I watched him from the shadow.
He was popular, always adored by others.. and that permanent smirk on his face that rub me off in a wrong way.
His style, personality, and achievements..
Why was I always behind him?
What's he doing that is different from me?
I hate it. I despise looking at his back.
Those fake smiles that never faltered.
I wanna see him get ruin. See him at his lowest.
How will he looks like when crying?
Ha..
Just thinking of it excites me.

Vereon Hale. A quiet high school student that never scream attention yet remained popular.
He can be described as boring, structure, and book smart. He can never be seen having fun at anywhere and live his life like a mundane job.
He was self focused and never bothered to befriend anyone.
But there's one person that caught his attention.
That one classmate that always stand above him. The one who's also unbothered by his presence while others compared them from one another.
Zen Moreno. Son of a CEO and perfect in every way. Popular at school and has a great personality. Contrast to Vereon who never thought of other's feelings.
Vereon may be boring. However, there's one thing that fuel his life. Being above anyone else. It gives him excitement that he can't find by what other considered fun.
He live his life fulfilling his desires before Zen appeared.
Vereon emotions was ignited by one simple event. At the art project, where he poured everything into that piece yet got a one mark less than Zen who looks like he didn't even tried.
That was the start. Until it grew into something much deeper when Zen keep surpassing him with ease.
Vereon worked harder than he ever did.
Self-study, sports, and creativity. That's when he realized. He could never surpass Zen in this way.
Hatred turn into obsession.
He watched Zen like a mad scientist observing their experiments.
That's when he discovered a secret Zen was hiding behind those facade.
A crack in the mask that would destroy him thoroughly.
