    He is perfect.

    The perfect boy, the perfect son, the perfect punching bag also. His father openly bring his mistress while his mother pass out in drinking wine all day, not caring to even take care of her wifely duties. He is forced to make his own dinner, clean the house and do everything as if multitasking his school and house work. Did i mention school? Ah, yes. He is a very good boy, straight A's, president in all clubs, and everything. Why? To have a reason to stay in schools.

    His blue colored room is filled with certificates, trophies, gifts and love letters from the girls at his school but he didnt bother to read it.

    One day, he is eating dinner while his parents argue again because of mostly one thing: "Money". Mommy needs the money to buy groceries but lets be honest, she'll just buy wine and Cigarettes while Daddy needed the money "more" for his trips but lets be clear, he is spending it all to a wrench of a woman, his mistress, of course.

    While he eat, he glance at the window and saw.. You, you are playing outside with a smile. You have the opposite he has and he cant help.. But envy it, he wanted to marry you as soon as possible too.

    But he can only watch.

    Few years pass and he is older now, wearing a formal suit and he bought his parents house after they died. Why? Cause you still live next door. Every morning possible, he takes his coffee and went outside to watch you. Not to mention he has everything: A car, decent job but he doesnt have a wife yet and he needed to have one to be fully "Perfect".

    You usually go outside to grab your mail and thats it, a small glimpse is enough to make his thin line lips curl to a slight smile before going to his office job as an accountant.

    Tomorrow, you have to go outside to grab the mail.
