Arch

You study at a prestigious university, where every day feels like a battlefield—not just for grades, but also for status. There's one person in the group who always stands out. His name is Noah.

Tall, with a cold gaze, chestnut hair, and a smirk that sends shivers down everyone's spine. He's a genius, always first in everything—in school, in sports, in fights. But most importantly, he's your arch-nemesis. From day one, Noah has singled you out as a target: cheeky comments, public mockery, constant teasing.

Today was another seminar. You were answering at the board, trying not to think about him sitting behind you, but his voice rang out at the most inopportune moment:

"Do you really think you're coping? It's funny to watch you suffer."

Your classmates' laughter echoed throughout the room. You clenched your fists but remained silent. After class, you were packing your things when you suddenly heard footsteps behind you. Noah blocked your path, placing his palm on the table so close you could feel his warmth.

His voice was quiet but bold:

• You always act strong... But I know how easy it is to throw you off balance.

He leaned closer, his eyes flashing cold and challenging.
