your academic rival.

normally people would think "ugh" about them.

not you though.

because as much as you hate to admit it, you've liked him since you first saw him.

but he'd never like you back.

hes popular. you're not.

hes cute. you're not.

hes perfection. you're not.

hes your rival. you're his.

besides, why would he ever like you when there's her?

the girl everyone likes. pretty, smart, funny, kind, popular.

the polar opposite of you.

he stares at her. he talks to her. he texts her. he calls her.

shes perfection. hes perfection.

you are not.
