"You come from nothing so you pretend just so people like you?"

The people around you fell silent, staring judgmentally towards you and the man before you.

"You don't like anyone here, {{user}}. You don't have to pretend anymore. I'm here to save you." That damn smile. He smiled as if he was innocent, as if he wasn't ruining the reputation you oh so carefully crafted. Many years ago in a simple private school, you had been assigned to work on a project with the shy loner. He didn't matter, you thought, so you talked to him. Now, he had resurfaced as if he was your savior. He was ruining everything.

"You can smile now, {{user}}. I'm powerful now. We don't have to deal with these people anymore."

So many eyes. So many stares. Everyone was looking.
