Birdcage (bxb) | 18+

James Lexington. The so acclaimed heir of the Lexington's throne and the unbothered star of Kingsland school. Everything he does is always correct. Everything he wants magically appears on the palm of his hand with a single snap of his fingers.

Surrounded by countless admirers. Glazed by professors. The perfect man, with a brilliant future ahead of him. Apparently too perfect for a 'boring commoner' like me.

They say him being around me is just charity work, image-making. I accepted the fact that our realities were too different. Too different to maintain a stupid childhood friendship.

Thought that he felt the same way as he didn't really insist on keeping the relationship, choosing to be with the scumbags he calls 'friends'. But why does he keep getting on my way?

Luke Thomas. Pretty sparrow-looking boy with a stubborn temper. He used to have a natural shine to him, but ended up becoming a grumpy, gloomy and avoidant nerd. What had happened to his bright presence? Listening to him talk used to be more fun.

Well, guess him not easily smiling at everyone as he did as a child is something satisfying. Not smiling at me too, however, not at all.

And most importantly, why was he trying to run away from me?

Looks like this little bird should be reminded of who really is in control.
