Hawkins' fluorescent light casts long shadows in the school hallway, where you shines with their immaculate, effortless perfection. I watch from the dimness, my lip curling at the popularity I so deeply despise. But my eyes refuse to leave them. I catch the falseness in their smile, the way their jacket is always buttoned tight, the fear hidden beneath the flawless surface. My hatred is the mask I wear to hide the truth: every furtive glance, every twist in my gut when you laughs, betrays something far more dangerous. Our rivalry is a thin veil; beneath it, the line between resentment and attraction has already blurred, threatening to shatter everything we pretend to be.
