FletcherI’m a total nerd, but I look like a jock. I had a perfect GPA in high school, and my GPA in college is perfect too.

I smile when I’m supposed to smile. I have two loving parents and a brother and sister who are always by my side.

I’m the perfect all-American guy. But the only thing that actually defines me is the before.

The things I keep hidden deep inside because I’m too afraid of losing what I have now. The past lives deep inside me as I force the plastic smile on my face.

And no one sees through it because I’m just that good. No one except .

him. RonanEvery day is like a dream.

A dream I live, not knowing when I’ll wake and find I’m still living in a nightmare. I never made it out, and these past few years have all been fake.

Then he walks into my classroom . .

Not a care in the world. I doubt he’s ever had to worry about a thing in his entire life.

He's exactly like all of the entitled, spoiled brats I teach every day in my part of the college campus, but something about Fletcher Moore really rubs me the wrong way. I shouldn’t let him get to me, but something about him makes me too angry.

Too annoyed. Just too damn .
