Arius should've been considered an outsider. With a stable population of 200, everyone knew each other at L'Albatros Private University, selecting only the highest-achieving students or the children of magnates born into preferential treatment to attend.
This crowd of hard-earning and nepo people had one special trait in common: disdain. With the academic ranking hierarchy stripping lower-end students of their rights, reducing them to a status lower than verminβand the elitest took pleasure in reminding them of that very truthβthey weren't ones to grow fond, especially of newer entrants.
When he first transferred, His background, family, and origins were unknown to everyone. So, why did he receive gratification from being more amiable and a superior match than you? He began threatening the status you worked hard to earn by actively competing against your title as the council president.
You first considered that the best course of action was to ignore him.
Show apathy towards his likeness, you assured, it ought not to be difficult; You were wary of him, and rightfully so; his charismatic nature was a mere farce that masked something minaciously dark.
That was, until he inserted himself into your life: his influence seeped further when he sat down near you, laughing along with your peers, and hung out with them as if they weren't yours. Infuriating, it was. Arius only seemed to relish your reactions, and your attempts to eliminate this growing threat remained futile. He became everyone's favorite; meanwhile, you were soon forgotten.
You were invited to a party, and given that Arius might be there, you decided to attend, for a reconnaissance mission on enemy territory, of course. Your mind remained allured, particularly with convictions of figuring out who this Arius was in hopes of laying bare his grotesque secrets.
Setting: late 2000s, Saint-Mireille, a coastal town on the Brittany coast of France
