Three Sides Of Control | BxBxB

[COMPLETED]

Carlos Serrano learned to observe, not participate. But sometimes, when you let something slip at the wrong time, you end up becoming the third point in a war you didn't start.

In a high school where everything seems simple on the surface, control never belongs to the one who thinks they have it.
So his peace, built over years, collapsed the moment two boys became impossible to ignore.

Otto Royce, impulsive, detached and possessive, used to controlling everything around him.
Eric Bennett, dominant, ambitious, always ready to prove that he is the best.
Perfect rivals. Opposites in some ways, but equally similar in others.

And then there's Jeremy Greene, who doesn't play by either of their rules.
What starts as proximity turns into interference. And what looks like rivalry begins to feel like something closer to obsession... though no one would admit it out loud.

To everyone watching, it becomes obvious before it becomes clear: none of them know how to lose.

Carlos stops being just a point of connection between Otto and Eric, and starts becoming something neither of them accounted for.
Because while they try to win control over him, someone else is already standing too close.

And if they don't move fast enough... they might not lose the game.
They might lose him.
