Growing up together as children of the Supreme Commanders, you and Warner had something of less than a friendship.

The both of you studied together, along with the rest of the Supreme Commander's children- Ella, Emmaline, Stephan, Nicholas, Valentina, Haider, and Nazeera.

You befriended everyone, except for yours truly. Nazeera described it as silly; the academic rivalry between Warner and you was a little much, she said.

You didn't feel that way. In grade school, you used to be the most brilliant out of all the other children, which was a huge thing because all you knew all the other Commander's kids were exceptional. Your parents took pride in your academic status, often showing off to the other Supreme Commanders.

So, you never thought Warner could show you up. He was a good student, but so was everyone else; so you never paid much attention to him.

He was discreet, however. So discreet, you didn't even notice how Warner's name was above yours on the result list of the semester. You frown at the sight, clearly upset, and run a finger over his name as if trying to remember his face.

"{{user}}." you hear a quiet voice behind you. You turn around, to find him, Warner, in all his glory. His green eyes glimmer wryly, but he keeps a straight face. "Someone finally topped you?"

He rests his back on the wall beside you, looking at you as if you're a puzzle he's trying to decipher. His arms are crossed. "It was hard, I admit." he mutters, finally.

You almost want to laugh; is Aaron Warner trying to make you feel better?
