Life among the popular kids was a battle, a challenge, and a blast.

Maybe it was your looks or your intelligence that made everyone adore you. You had friends everywhere, you were invited to every event, tons of people confessed their feelings for you every week, you had a blast... For Simon, it was all the same. He was the rugby captain, also handsome, blond, muscular, and broad-shouldered, although he was more of a grouch when it came to socializing. Everyone admired him, though. He knew you; among the popular kids, everyone knew each other. Everyone would fight over him or you, or just to see the two of you together.

It was Friday night, you were with a large group of friends, a little tipsy, when Simon's group joined them. He, being the social grouch he is, stayed in a corner, and that's where he stayed, you needed to sit down a bit, so you sat down next to him for a while.
