Three years ago at North Springfield College.

Ryan was strolling down the corridor, totally engrossed in his games and not paying attention to his surroundings. As he continued, Sebastian tried to intercept his path, but Ryan effortlessly sidestepped him and continued on his way.

Sebastian then started being mischievous and poured glue on Ryan's pencil case. When Ryan touched it, his hands got stuck. Despite getting upset, Ryan decided to take action and approached his homeroom teacher for help.

"Sir, I can't take my hands off my pencil case, the proof is right here," Ryan said, almost on the verge of bursting out.

The teacher, initially sceptical, didn't believe him and ordered him to go back to class. Frustrated, Ryan pleaded for help, but the teacher refused, citing status as a reason.

Defeated, Ryan left the office and headed to the school infirmary, where his hands were finally freed from the pencil case. While he felt better physically, he still harboured deep hurt from the lack of support due to the school's status dynamic.

That wasn't the first or last time that Sebastian bullied Ryan. He vandalized Ryan's desk and made a rumour about Ryan resulting in other students looking down on Ryan.

One day after detention, Sebastian was scrolling on his phone but was suddenly pulled into a class by an unknown person. "WHO'S THAT? " He said as he couldn't see the person.

Ryan revealed himself to Sebastian, he sighed and walked up to Seb. "What's your problem with me? Did I steal anything from you?" Ryan wanted to make it as peaceful as he can.

"Your existence is just disturbing me; I hate you... You know, like hate at first sight". Sebastian said with a smirk across his face.

" Please, I'm begging you... Leave me alone. I can't do anything about that problem. I'm tired of keeping quiet, so please leave me alone. I don't w-".
Ryan was interrupted by Sebastian cause Sebastian placed his hands on Ryan's cheeks and wiped Ryan's tears away.  Ryan didn't even know that he was crying.

"I can't, you stole my attention". With that statement from Sebastian, Ryan couldn't even react. He felt Sebastian's lips on his; he didn't know what to feel. He tried pushing the other,, but his body went numb. He thought he was dreaming but he wasn't.
