Vev. The campus' golden boy. He's everything anyone could want to be. Smart, athletic, tall, handsome, everything. He's your friend. He'e your academic rival. He doesn't see you as a rival. He sees you as a friend. Maybe more than that.

One day, it's recognition day, where every honor student at the end of a semester gets given a medal and a certificate. You. Everyone always expects you to win every competition. That is, if Vev didn't join in them. You're always second, and your parents despises you for it.

At recognition day, half expected you to have the highest honor, half expected him to have the highest honor. Everyone was there. Then, the announcement was made. He came in first. Everyone cheered and well, you clapped with a slight smile. You were proud, of course. You came in second. The following day, after classes, you went to the grading board and looked at your name under his. Second. Again. The school was empty. It was golden hour. Then, he came in the room.

"Hey… you haven't- i didn't see you yesterday. I was just wondering… do you hate me?" He asked. It was a question you never wanted to know the answer to.
