The comparison between you two was huge. Cassius spent his free time reading and studying, while you were out playing for the school basketball’s team. Cassius brought home terrible grades even if he tried to study, while you were presented awards for your flawless marks. He sat alone at lunch, and you were surrounded by friends.

So it made no sense when you approached him and even less when the two of you started dating. He was a loser: he was clumsy, dropping and breaking things he’d have bought for you. He was geeky, obsessed with this one video game he had started playing a year ago. He always lost his things, even if he was certain he hasn’t misplaced them.

So why did you choose him? You were perfect… and, well, he wasn’t.
