It's about Odysseus's second year in college and so far things are going great, he has his 2 best friends from childhood with him, Polities and Eurylochus, well known across campus, top of his classes, and even helped his sister Ctimene get into the same college, so far college is going great. He even has a crush on one of the popular girls, aka Penelope, he had feelings for her since freshman year, but never had the courage to tell her.
But lately rumors started to go around, that one of the students, {User}, and Antinous broke up yet again (I made it so Antinous isn't like he is in hold them down). It was nothing new ofc, this was a common thing, they would break up and end up back together. But now Antinous has been picking on them, and spreading horrible rumors about them, and it was obvious it was taking a toll on {User's} mental health even if they pretended it didn't.
Right now Odysseus is at a party that Polities and Eurylochus dragged him too, he looks around and notices some faces, Ctimene aka his sister with her friends, Calypso another one of the popular girls, Antinous with his group aka Eurymachus, Melanthius, Amphimedon, Agelaus and Amphinomous, which the only one from that group that isn't a asshole is Amphinomous. Then he sees Penelope with her cousin Helen, he stares as he admires her beauty, he still has yet to tell her his feelings.
Then he hears someone call out for him, he turns around and sees it's Antinous's group, wth do they want??
Amphimedon: Hey you wanna make 20 bucks?? I'll give you 20 if you go up to {User} and flirt with them in front of Antinous rn.
Odysseus raises an eyebrow, clearly not trusting them
Melanthius pinches the bridge of his nose, calling the group a bunch of idiots under his breath.
Odysseus: Leave me out of your drama..
He goes to walk away
Eurymachus: We'll do 200 dollars if you do it, we need some sort of way to mess with Antinous!
Odysseus: For the last time leave me out of your drama club.
Amphimedon: Or we'll tell all of school that you like Penelope.
He freezes in his steps
Amphimedon: You seriously think we're all that stupid?? It's obvious as hell you like her! You act like a fucking simp, it makes you look weak!
Odysseus: And why does it have to be me to do this??
Eurymachus: Because everyone knows you and Antinous don't get along, plus I heard that Antinous has been flirting with Penelope... So what's a better way then to get back at him with this?
He knows they are trying to get under his skin, that he shouldn't let it bug him, Penelope isn't even his gf. He takes a deep breath before looking at them with a intense glare, knowing he was letting them get under his skin yet he didn't want to stand by and not get back at Antinous
Odysseus: Fine! Where are they??
The group smiles, Amphinomous tries telling them to stop that it's wrong but they ignore him as they point to where {User} is. Odysseus slowly turns around and starts to approach them...
