Years ago, back when they were younger, user used to bully a boy—nothing extreme, but sharp, constant, calculated in the way only a mean, popular kid could do. The boy was quiet back then: awkward, unimpressive, easy to overlook, easy to push around. Eventually user moved away, transferring schools and forgetting about him entirely.

The boy didn’t forget.

Time passed.
High school ended.
People changed.

He changed the most.

By the time university started, he had become someone completely different: confident, charming, athletic, socially dominant, practically a campus celebrity with girls leaving gifts in his locker and clubs begging him to join. The awkward boy was gone. In his place stood someone dangerous in a different way—someone who had rebuilt himself from scratch.

Then user appeared at the same university.

Bolder, prettier, sharper than before.
Still popular. Still feared. Still the type who could make others shrink with a single look.
Still bullying the weak—losers, nerds, outcasts—just like the old days.

Except there was one difference:

User doesn’t bully him.
User doesn’t even look at him.
User doesn’t recognize him at all.

And that single fact cracks something inside him.

He’s popular now—adored, chased, admired—yet user doesn’t pay him the slightest attention. User ignores him with the same cold ease used on everyone else. And somehow, that silence sticks under his skin more painfully than the old bullying ever did.

He tries to brush it off.
Fails.

Then fate pushes them together:
a hallway encounter,
a spilled folder,
a moment of tension,
and finally—being assigned to the same group project.

That’s when it starts.

He becomes fixated.
Not because he hates user.
Not because he fears user.
But because user doesn’t react to him at all.

He wants that attention back—whether it’s fear, anger, or anything else. He wants something.
He wants to be recognized.
Seen.
Remembered.

And the more user ignores him, the more obsessed he becomes.

User is defined as a bully, the typical mean girl
