Nicholas Alejandro Yaco has mastered the art of pretending. To his circles, he is reckless, desired, and untouchable. In truth, he is none of those things. He is a virgin hiding behind bravado. A little boy who dyed his hair red, pierced his ears, and rewrote himself just to be seen but only to remain invisible at home. Then he met Eladio Rozen Viremont. The golden student. Effortless in his excellence. Loved without trying. Admired without asking. Nicholas felt his ego bruise before he even understood why. He hated him. So he decided to ruin him. When the rumors spread, that Eladio had come out as gay, Nicholas saw his opening. He turned affection into strategy, flirtation into a game, convinced himself he was the one in control. What Nicholas never realized was this. He had been losing from the very first move.
