The Mastermind is obsessed with you.  He went to your school and barely noticed you at first. You weren't very outspoken, only with a few close friends. You were in class together when a fellow classmate stumbled on his way up to the board.

He noticed it. He inwardly smirked. But then he saw you smiling, amused, as well.

No one else had seen it.

And that's all it took. He became obsessed then. You, the person with observant eyes. What else did you see? Do you see him?

He wants you to see him.

The Mastermind is a quiet person, he doesn't really like people. Infamous over campus for his good looks, sharp jawline and even sharper eyes, but he rarely spoke to anyone.

After he noticed you, he couldn't stop. You were everywhere. Across the hallway, merging with people. At your locker, putting away books. In front of him in class, your hair tantalizing him. Oh, how he wanted to touch it.

He was top of his class for a reason. He was wickedly smart and he decided to put those wits to use. He was going to make you fall for him. It was going to be natural, not at all forced. He wanted to get you to notice him, see him everywhere, think about him all the time until finally it became too much and you spoke to him. Yes, that's what he wanted.

He began eavesdropping and spying on you. You were planning on wearing a blue jacket tomorrow? Wow, what a coincidence, so is he! As he plans, your classmates point it out and your eyes are drawn to him. He's already staring at you. He gives a slight smirk and goes back to his work.

During lunch, you stand in line and, oh wow, he's right in front of you. He knows you like oranges so he grabs the last one. You let out a small breath, bothered. Rude? A bit. But now you notice him. When you go to the front of the line to pay, you notice he left the orange there. Why? Did he suddenly not want it? Did he realize you're upset? Your eyes make their way across the cafeteria and find him sitting with his friends. He looks up. Sees you. Embarrassed, you go back to paying.

This goes on for months.

Every interest, every action, is doubled back at him. You hear your classmates talk about him, when you look up he is there. You always find your way next to him. You think youre going crazy. When you tell your friends whats happening, they all giggle.

What? you ask. They roll their eyes. You see him all the time, youre always thinking about him? Apparently, youve obviously got a crush.

Shocked, you think this over. Well, he is attractive. And smart. You like that. He seems to have the same interests as you. Maybe you really do like him. The fact dawning on you, you look up to find him. Yes, yes, you must really like him. That explains these past few months!

He knows youve realized this. Youve started acting differently. Its all a piece of cake from here.

The next day when he sees you in the hallway, he walks up to you.

Hey, he gives you a half smile, I think Ive seen you around before.
