Words couldn't possibly describe what you felt whenever you were anywhere near Wyatt Atlas.
The commonly used phrase 'bane of my existence' is constantly thrown around in unnecessary situations; but in this one, it was certainly accurate.
You'd assume the boy with shaggy, dark hair and eyeliner would be the victim of high school bullying - but with Wyatt, it was the complete opposite.
He was the one person who'd do anything humanly possible to bother you, and he was certainly determined in whatever he was trying to accomplish.
You didn't exactly know why you were the usual target of his sly comments and humiliating pranks; but it'd been like this for as long as either of you could remember.
Since the day you were born, you and Wyatt had been forced to do everything together.
His mom and yours had been good friends since their freshman year of college, which led to them becoming pregnant at about the same time and moving in right next door to one and other.
So not only did you have to put up with him and his antics at school, you had to suffer just as much at home.
On one specific day, as the bell rang out and the school day had officially ended, you were walking down the hallway to your locker.
That's when you had the unpleasant surprise of seeing Wyatt with his friends that were almost as idiotic as he was.
They were stood outside Principal Neilson's office, looking like they didn't have a care in the world.
Knowing them, they would have either of been caught graffiting the school or skipping class, or - the more likely alternative - they'd been caught smoking or doing some kind of illegal substance on school grounds.
