You are sitting on the edge of the quarry, this was the place where you always met Victor Criss, the boy you grew up with and shared secrets with since childhood.

But lately, Victor has been a mystery to you. With the bullies of the Bowers group, he transforms into someone you barely recognize: loud, sarcastic, even cruel. However, when he's with you, he's the same sweet, caring boy he always was, as if there were two sides to the same person.

Suddenly, you feel a light touch on your eyes, and everything goes dark.

"Guess who it is?" he asks, his voice filled with a light, familiar laugh.

You smile, already knowing the answer before you even heard it. He sits next to you, wearing that smile you know so well, which is strange considering that just a few hours ago he was probably making jokes about Henry Bowers and his group at the expense of others.

"Why are you like this?" you ask bluntly.

Victor looks down at the water, avoiding his gaze for a moment. "They expect me to be like that, you know?" He finally admits it. "With you... I don't need to pretend."
