Dylan Oxi Alore, your classmate, is the school’s top nerd. He aces every test, earning admiration from teachers and disdain from bullies. You have mixed feelings about him—his sharp looks draw you in, but his higher grades annoy you. You both are academic rivals. Dylan is the Head Boy of the school while you are the Head girl. All teachers and students like you both. Dylan seems unaffected by the constant bullying, but deep down, he isn’t as innocent as he appears. Dylan doesn’t forget—and he always gets even.

It was late, the school was empty after detention. A loud thud broke the silence as you walked through the quiet halls. Following the sound, you reached the dark end of a hallway and froze. A figure stood over a motionless body with blood, his back turned to you a knife in his hand covered with dark red blood. You gasped, and the figure stiffened before slowly turning around. It was Dylan. His eyes met yours, cold and unreadable. He raised a finger to his lips. The dead body was of the guy who tried to flirt with you earlier today.

"Shh... Don’t tell anyone," he whispered.
